Active clinical trials for "Colitis, Ulcerative"

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of dosing mesalazine 800 mg tablets (Asacol®) at 2.4 g once daily versus divided doses three times daily in the maintenance of remission of ulcerative colitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether COLAL-PRED is a safe and effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

Patients with severe refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) or those who received placebo in study F506-CL-1107 will receive tacrolimus for a maximum of 12 weeks. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the new modified oral extended-release Pentasa® 500mg tablet is at least as efficacious as the currently marketed Pentasa® 500mg tablet in active mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and also in maintenance of quiescent disease.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy in maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis between a once daily (QD) Asacol regimen and a divided, twice daily (BID) Asacol dosing regimen.

This was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody adalimumab (ADA) in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).

PHASE: II TYPE OF STUDY : With direct benefit DESCRIPTIVE: Multicenter, randomized, double-blind study INCLUSION CRITERIA: Steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis OBJECTIVES: To show superiority of methotrexate vs placebo in inducing steroid-free remission in steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis STUDY TREATMENTS: Methotrexate 1 intramuscular injection (25 mg) per week Placebo 1 intramuscular injection per week NUMBERS OF PATIENTS: 55 patients in each group, i.e. a total of 110 patients INCLUSION PERIOD: 24 months STUDY DURATION: 36 months EVALUATION CRITERIA: Remission without steroids, immunosuppressives and without colectomy at 16 weeks of treatment.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy on clinical symptoms, mucosal histology and endoscopic mucosal appearance of two doses of SR140333B against placebo in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis resistant to treatment with 5-ASA.

To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of encapsulated mesalamine Granules (eMG) (formerly referred to as Mesalamine Pellets [MP]) in participants with ulcerative colitis currently in remission.

Ulcerative colitis is a disease of the large bowel (colon) and rectum in which the lining of the bowel becomes red and swollen. Over time, patients with this disease may experience acute episodes of diarrhea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain followed by periods of time without disease symptoms. 5-ASA drugs are a standard treatment for ulcerative colitis. Mesalazine is an experimental drug designed to gradually release 5-ASA into the areas of large bowel associated with ulcerative colitis. This study will test the safety and efficacy of mesalazine in keeping ulcerative colitis in remission.
