    Change in levels of fatigue measured by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Fatigue Scale (IBD-F). Section I of the scale measures the severity of fatigue on a scale from 0-20, where 20 is maximum fatigue. A change in IBD-F score of 3 points or more is regarded as a clinical relevant change.

    After 4 weeks active treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Fatigue

    Week 8, 12, 24, and 52

  • Health-Related Quality of Life

    Week 4, 8, 12, 24, and 52

  • Disease specific Health-Related Quality of Life

    Week 4, 8, 12, 24, and 52
