What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State

    AUC can be used as a measure of drug exposure. It is derived from drug concentration and time so it gives a measure how much and how long a drug stays in a body.

    Measured: 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on day 7

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State

    Cmax is a term that refers to the maximum (or peak) concentration that a drug achieves in the body after the drug has been administrated.

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

  3. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State

    Tmax is the time after administration of a drug when the maximum plasma concentration in the body is reached.

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

  4. Total Body Clearance (CL) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State

    Clearance of a substance from the blood by the kidneys.

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

  5. AUC of MMX Mesalamine Major Metabolite (Ac-5-ASA) at Steady State

    Measured: 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on day 7

  6. Cmax of MMX Mesalamine Major Metabolite (Ac-5-ASA) at Steady State

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

  7. Tmax of MMX Mesalamine Major Metabolite (Ac-5-ASA) at Steady State

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

  8. CL of MMX Mesalamine Major Metabolite (Ac-5-ASA) at Steady State

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Dose Absorbed For MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) in Urine at Steady State

    The percentage of the dose absorbed was calculated as: 100 x (Xu0-24h 5-ASA + [0.7847* Xu0-24h Ac-5-ASA])/dose, where 0.7847 is the ratio of the molecular weight of 5-ASA (153.14) to the molecular weight of Ac-5-ASA (195.15). Xu0-24h is equal to the cumulative amount recovered in urine in the time interval of 0 to 24 hours.

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

  2. Cumulative Amount of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) Recovered in Urine at Steady State

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

  3. Cumulative Amount of MMX Mesalamine Major Metabolite (Ac-5-ASA) Recovered in Urine at Steady State

    Measured: Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MMX Mesalamine in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Shire at 19 sites in 5 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 14 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in United States, Poland, United Kingdom, Slovakia, Australia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jul 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State (time frame: 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on day 7). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01130844, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
