Brief Summary

PHASE: IV

DESCRIPTIVE: Randomized, interventional, open label multicenter trial

POPULATION: Moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

STUDY TREATMENTS: Patients will all receive Adalimumab 160/80/40mg EOW until V1 (W14) followed by 40mg EOW until V2 (W26) and could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) for two months and then could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) and azathioprine (2.0/2.5 mg/kg/ day) or methotrexate (25 mg EW) until V3 (W 38).

OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of a treat to target treatment follow up by e-Monitoring and fecal calprotectin dosing at home associated to an appropriate patient education versus standard treatment follow up at W48 in patients requiring a treatment with adalimumab (Humira®).

Detailed Description

NUMBER OF PATIENTS : 238 patients in 20 sites in France

RECRUITMENT PERIOD : The trial duration for each patient will be 144 weeks

MAIN ENDPOINT : At week 48 success defined by: Endoscopic remission defined by an endoscopic Mayo score 0

SECONDARY ENDPOINTS:

At W48

* Clinical remission (Clinical remission is defined as a total Mayo score ≤2 points, with no individual sub score \>1, and a Mayo endoscopy sub score of 0 or 1)

* Remission without steroids

* Endoscopic healing rate with Mayo score 0 or 1

* UCEIS score

* Histological healing (Nancy score)

* Remission rate and remission rate without steroids at study visits and W48

* Quality of life evolution (evaluate visit W0 vs W14, W26, W38 and W48)

* Patients satisfaction

* Continuous response

* Safety and tolerability

* Anti-TNF pharmacokinetics

* Number of visits in trial

* Number of UC related hospitalizations

* Number of colectomies

* Treatment compliance (questionnaire)

* Patient adhesion (questionnaire)

* Medico-economic analysis
