What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change between rectal biopsies performed at D1 and D28 of proliferative index

    Measured: Its aim was to study histological modifications after Pentasa was stopped in non-active ulcerative colitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Observe patients with inactive ulcerative colitis in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Ferring Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change between rectal biopsies performed at D1 and D28 of proliferative index (time frame: Its aim was to study histological modifications after Pentasa was stopped in non-active ulcerative colitis.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
