NCT01124149

Brief Summary

This study was designed to evaluate if subjects who achieve complete remission after 8 weeks of acute therapy with MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 4.8g/day given QD have better long-term outcomes and remain in remission longer compared with subjects who demonstrate only partial remission after acute therapy with MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 4.8g/day given QD. Therefore, subjects who achieve either complete or partial remission will enter into a 12-month maintenance phase, during which they will receive MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 2.4g/day given QD. Remission status for the 2 groups will be evaluated and compared at the end of this 12-month maintenance period. The data obtained from this study will provide scientifically meaningful information to demonstrate that achieving complete remission (clinical and endoscopic remission) is important for a better long-term prognosis, or that the current paradigm of symptomatic treatment is appropriate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Subjects in Complete Remission at Month 12 of Maintenance Phase

    Complete remission was defined as a modified Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Index (UC-DAI) \<=1 with a score of 0 for rectal bleeding and stool frequency and at least a 1-point reduction in endoscopy score from baseline. The modified UC-DAI score is the sum of the scores of 4 parameters (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy score, and physician global assessment), each scoring between 0 and 3, making 12 the worst score. Endoscopy score (mucosal appearance) ranges from 0-3 (0 = normal, 1 = mild , 2 = moderate, 3 = severe). Rectal bleeding is assessed on a scale from 0-3 (0 = no rectal bleeding, 1 = streaks of blood, 2 = obvious blood, 3 = mostly blood). Stool frequency is assessed on a scale of 0-2 (0 = 0-1 more than normal per day, 1 = 2-3 more than normal per day, 2 = 4 or more than normal per day).

Study Arms (1)

MMX mesalamine/ mesalazine

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: MMX mesalamine/ mesalazine

Interventions

4.8g/day given QD (four 1.2g tablets) for 8 weeks, 2.4g/day given QD (two 1.2g tablets) for 12 months

MMX mesalamine/ mesalazine

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adults aged 18 or older
  • Male, or non-pregnant, non-lactating female who agrees to comply with any applicable contraceptive requirements of the protocol
  • Diagnosis of active mild to moderate UC (acute flare or newly diagnosed)
  • Stable maintenance therapy of 5-ASA less than or equal to 3.2 g/day (excluding MMX mesalamine/mesalazine), if 5-ASA is being taken at the onset of acute flare.

You may not qualify if:

  • Severe UC
  • Acute flare with onset greater than \>6 weeks prior to baseline while on maintenance therapy. There is no limit to the onset of flare prior to baseline if the flare is untreated.
  • Acute flare while on maintenance MMX mesalamine/mesalazine (Lialda, Mezavant, Mezavant XL, Mezavant LP)
  • Unsuccessfully treated current acute flare using steroids or 5-ASA doses \>3.2 g/day
  • Acute flare on a 5-ASA maintenance therapy of \>3.2 g/day
  • Systemic or rectal steroids use within the 4 weeks prior to screening or immunosuppressants within the last 6 weeks prior to screening
  • History of biologic (anti-TNF agent) use
  • Antibiotic use or repeated use (\>3 consecutive days of use at doses above the prescribed over-the-counter dose) of any anti-inflammatory drugs, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, COX-2 inhibitors or ibuprofen, within 7 days prior to screening. However, prophylactic use of a stable dose of aspirin up to 325mg/day for cardiac disease is permitted
  • Current or recurrent disease, other than UC, that could affect the colon, the action, absorption, or disposition of the IMP, or clinical or laboratory assessments
