What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients being in remission at final visit

    Responder definition for remission: Clinical Activity Index (CAI) ≤ 4

    Measured: Week 12

  2. Change of endoscopic index (EI)

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  3. Change of histological index (HI) based on Riley

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  4. Proportion of patients reaching a clinical CAI ≤ 2 points

    Measured: Week 12

  5. Time to remission, defined as days from Day 0 until first remission is reached

    Responder definition for remission: Clinical Activity Index (CAI) ≤ 4

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  6. Time to sustained remission (CAI ≤ 2 points) defined as days from Day 0 until first sustained remission is reached

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  7. Number of patients who reached a remission at least once during the course of the study

    Measured: Week 12

  8. Number of patients who reached a sustained remission at least once during the course of the study

    Measured: Week 12

  9. Change from baseline of absolute CAI values to final visit

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  10. Change from baseline in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ-D) (German version) at final visit

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  11. Change from baseline in Irritable Bowel Severity Score (IBSS) at final visit

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  12. Change from baseline in EuroQol 5 dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D) at final visit

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  13. Mayo Score throughout the study

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  14. Change of of oral mesalazine dose throughout the study period

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  15. Change in ulcerative colitis (UC) markers

    Combination of four markers C-reactive protein (CRP), calprotectin, lactoferrin, polymorphonuclear (PMN) elastase for determination of parameters associated with acute flare of UC patients

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing STW5-II (Iberogast N, BAY98-7410) in people with Colitis, Ulcerative, run by Bayer at 8 sites in Germany.

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 11 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 18 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Germany. 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. 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 patients being in remission at final visit (time frame: Week 12). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Oct 2016.
