About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of SAR339658 in Patients With Active Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

Primary Objective:

To assess the efficacy of SAR339658

Secondary Objective:

To assess the safety of SAR339658

Read the detailed description

The study period per patient will include up to 4 weeks screening, 8 weeks treatment, 6 weeks post treatment safety follow-up, followed by a long term safety follow-up performed in the form of a phone interview at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months from the last administration of the study medication.

After completion of the 8-week treatment phase, patients may be eligible to enter a long term safety study (LTS12593) for active treatment with SAR339658.

Being tested
SAR339658, Placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SAR339658 in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Sanofi at 41 sites in 7 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 13 inclusion and 36 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 41 sites in United States, Poland, Germany, France, Italy and 2 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment was early terminated due to slow recruitment. Not linked to any safety concern.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Proportion of Participants with Clinical Response by Mayo Score (time frame: At Week 8). 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 13 Jul 2016.
