Study of COLAL-PRED to Treat Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis
- Registration Number
- NCT00676832
- Lead Sponsor
- Prometheus Laboratories
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether COLAL-PRED is a safe and effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
- Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, dose-ranging study. Eligible patients with a DAI score of 6 to 10 (inclusive), plus endoscopic evidence of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis as assessed by flexible sigmoidoscopy, unless colonoscopy is clinically indicated, and rectal bleeding will be randomized to placebo or one of four doses of COLAL-PRED (equivalent to 40, 60, 80, or 120 mg of prednisolone). The effectiveness and safety of COLAL-PRED will be evaluated at baseline, and after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment. Additional follow-up measurements will take place 7 days post cessation of treatment.
The systemic absorption of COLAL-PRED will be determined by measuring blood levels of prednisolone, prednisolone sodium metasulfobenzoate (PMSBS) and metasulfobenzoate at Week 4.
Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis response will be monitored by measuring morning serum cortisol levels at Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, and at follow-up visit and cortisol levels following adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) stimulation testing at Baseline and Week 4.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The proportion of patients with Complete Response at Week 4 defined as a decrease from baseline in the DAI score by ≥ 30% or ≥ 3 points, and with a decrease in the rectal bleeding subscore of ≥ 1 or an absolute rectal bleeding sub-score of 0 or 1. Week 4 of the study or at time of withdrawal
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The proportion of patients in Clinical Remission defined as a DAI score of ≤ 2 points, with no-individual DAI sub-score > 1 at Week 4. Patients in remission by this definition will have a rectal bleeding DAI sub-score of either 0 or 1. Week 4
