About this study

Official title: PhaRmacOkinetics and PHarmacodynamic BiomarkErs of Janus Kinase Inhibitor Therapy in PatIents With Ulcerative Colitis (PROPHETIC)

This study aims to provide new mechanistic insights into the molecular determinants of response or nonresponse to Janus Kinase inhibitor therapy and the biological heterogeneity that exists in Ulcerative Colitis. This study will include patients who are initiating Janus Kinase inhibitor therapy according to standard of care. This study consists of:

  • Part 1: 8 or 10 week induction therapy followed by an 8-week maintenance therapy
  • Part 2: Patients who continue Janus Kinas inhibitor therapy after part 1 will be followed further for a total of 2 years, or until discontinuation of Janus Kinase inhibitor therapy (whichever is first)
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify predictive fecal biomarkers that are associated with a change from baseline in UC-100 score

    The UC-100 is a composite disease activity index consisting of clinical, endoscopic, and histological findings. The UC-100 is calculated by summing the weighted Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) stool frequency and endoscopy subscores, and the Robarts Histopathology Index (RHI) score as follows: UC-100 Score = 1 + (16 X stool frequency) + (6 X endoscopic subscore) + (RHI score). The total UC-100 score ranges from 1 to 100, with higher scores representing more severe disease activity.

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks; 24 weeks

  2. Identify predictive blood biomarkers that are associated with a change from baseline in UC-100 score

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks; 24 weeks

  3. Identify predictive tissue biomarkers that are associated with a change from baseline in UC-100 score

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks; 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (20)
  1. Identify pharmacodynamic fecal biomarkers that are associated with a change from baseline in UC-100 score

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  4. Identify a fecal biomarker signature as a surrogate measure for change from baseline in UC-100 score

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  5. Identify a blood biomarker signature as a surrogate measure for change from baseline in UC-100 score

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  6. Identify a tissue biomarker signature as a surrogate measure for change from baseline in UC-100 score

  10. Determine the time-concentration profile of Janus Kinase inhibitor at steady state in tissue samples.

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  14. Explore the exposure-response relationship of Janus Kinase inhibitors with exposure measured in stool samples and response defined as tissue PD biomarkers following SOC induction therapy and at Week 24.

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  15. Explore the exposure-response relationship of Janus Kinase inhibitors with exposure measured in serum samples and response defined as tissue PD biomarkers following SOC induction therapy and at Week 24.

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  16. Explore the exposure-response relationship of Janus Kinase inhibitors with exposure measured in tissue samples and response defined as tissue PD biomarkers following SOC induction therapy and at Week 24.

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  17. Develop an exposure-response model of Janus Kinase inhibitors to characterize the relationships between local and systemic drug exposure and clinical, endoscopic, histologic, or biologic response to therapy.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  18. Identify potential demographic and disease factors affecting the most relevant JAKi exposure-response relationships and determine target threshold of systemic exposure associated with relevant clinical, endoscopic, histologic, and/or biologic outcomes.

    Measured: 8 or 10 weeks, 24 weeks

  19. Evaluate long-term hospitalization rates, surgery rates, and corticosteroid use after initiation of Janus Kinase inhibitor therapy and identify baseline or early biomarker signatures associated with these long-term healthcare resource use outcomes

    Measured: 2 years

  20. Measure adverse drug reactions, clinical, endoscopic, and histologic response and remission rates to Janus Kinase inhibitors in a "real-world" population

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ulcerative Colitis, run by Alimentiv Inc. at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 4 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Not able to meet recruitment targets). 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?

Identify predictive fecal biomarkers that are associated with a change from baseline in UC-100 score (time frame: 8 or 10 weeks; 24 weeks). The study lists 3 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 NCT04576000, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 4 Jan 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
