Additive Effect of Probiotics (Mutaflor®) in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis on 5-ASA Treatment.

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Ulcerative Colitis
Interventions
Drug: E. coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®)
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT04969679
Lead Sponsor
Kangbuk Samsung Hospital
Brief Summary

E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) is equivalent to mesalazine in preventing disease relapse in ulcerative colitis. However, data on ability of E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) to induce remission compared with placebo is limited. Investigators aim to investigate the efficacy of E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) as an add-on treatment to 5-ASA in mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.

Detailed Description

This is a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study in patients with mild-to-moderate UC.

Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) or placebo once daily for 8 weeks, and inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ) scores, clinical remission, and response rate were compared.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare and evaluate the increase in IBDQ(Inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire) score between the Mutaflor group and the Placebo group8weeks

The evaluation of the beneficial effects of Mutaflor on mild-to-moderate UC patients, was assessed by an increase in the IBDQ score more than 16 points from baseline to week 8.

The Score can range from 32 to 224, with higher scores reflecting better HRQOL(Health-related quality of life)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Improvement in endoscopic scores between Mutaflor group and Placebo group8weeks

Assessed by the endoscopic subgroup score=0 of the mayo. Mayo Endoscopic Sub Scores can range from 0-3, with higher scores indicating worse severity.

Evaluate the clinical remission between Mutaflor group and Placebo group4weeks, 8weeks

Partial Mayo≤1, assessed at week 4 or Mayo≤2, assessed at week 8. Mayo score can range from 0-12 with higher scores indicating worse severity.

Evaluate the clinical response between Mutaflor group and Placebo group4weeks, 8weeks

Partial Mayo≤2 or decrease more than 2 points, assessed at week 4 or Mayo≤ 2 or decrease more than 2 points, assessed at week 8.

Mayo score can range from 0-12 with higher scores indicating worse severity.

Evaluate the endoscopic response between Mutaflor group and Placebo group8weeks

Assessed by the endoscopic subgroup score=0 or decrease more than 1 point. Mayo Endoscopic Sub Scores can range from 0-3 with higher scores indicating worse severity.

Evaluate the Microbiome(stool) change between Mutaflor group and Placebo group8weeks

Stool microbial change including diversity. DNA extraction from stool samples and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. calculating α- and β-diversities.
