About this study

Official title: Nolpitantium Besylate in Patients With Mild to Moderate Ulcerative Colitis, a Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Efficacy and Safety, 8 Week Study

To evaluate the safety and efficacy on clinical symptoms, mucosal histology and endoscopic mucosal appearance of two doses of SR140333B against placebo in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis resistant to treatment with 5-ASA.

Read the detailed description

Patients with active mild to moderate ulcerative colitis that has not responded to a minimum of 4 weeks of 5-ASA will be randomized to receive single daily doses of either placebo, 600 mg SR140333B or 1800 mg of SR140333B for eight weeks. Patients will undergo baseline and end of study sigmoidoscopic assessments and complete daily symptom diaries during the study. Ulcerative colitis disease activity will be measured by both the overall and component subscores of the Mayo Disease Activity Index.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nolpitantium besylate in people with Ulcerative Colitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Sanofi at 14 sites in 14 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile and 9 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Clinical remission at 8 weeks defined as a clinical Mayo subscore </= 1. 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2008.
