Brief Summary

This study is a Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo controlled Clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PNB-001 as an adjunct to Mesalamine compared to Mesalamine  alone in Subjects with Inflammatory bowel disease.

Primary objective:

- To evaluate the efficacy of PNB-001 as an adjunct to Mesalamine compared to Mesalamine alone in Subjects with Inflammatory bowel disease.

Secondary objectives:

- To evaluate the safety of PNB-001 as an adjunct to Mesalamine compared to Mesalamine alone in Subjects with Inflammatory bowel disease



Cohort 1: Ulcerative Colitis Disease

Primary Endpoints

- Proportion of Subjects achieving clinical response at week 4 in test arm as compared to placebo arm.

Secondary Endpoints

- Change from baseline in Rectal bleeding score at 4 weeks.

- Time to resolution of rectal bleeding within 4 weeks.

- Change from baseline in Stool Frequency score at 4 weeks.

- Time to normalization of stool frequency within 4 weeks.

- Change from baseline in mucosal appearance score (based on colonoscopy) at 4 weeks.

- Change in ESR, CRP, CD4, CD8, TNFα, IL6 and FC levels at 4 weeks from baseline.

- Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) assessment.

Cohort 2: Crohn’s Disease

Primary Endpoints

- Percentage of Participants with a Clinical Response (CDAI Decrease from Baseline of ≥100 Points) at Week 4.

Secondary Endpoints
