About this study

Official title: A Single Center Open-Label Prospective Study Of Oral Tofacitinib In Patients With Chronic Pouchitis

A phase 2 pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of tofacitinib in subjects with chronic pouchitis

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is a phase 2, open-label study of tofactinib in treatment of patients with chronic pouchitis. Subjects with chronic active pouchitis will be screened and recruited if they meet eligibility criteria. Eligible subjects will undergo baseline clinical evaluation, laboratory testing and a pouch endoscopy. They will then receive oral tofacitinib 10 mg twice daily for 8 weeks. Clinical and laboratory data will be collected at week 4 and week 8, and all subjects will undergo a end of treatment pouch endoscopy at 8 weeks. Clinical, laboratory and endoscopic data at 8 weeks will be compared to the baseline data to evaluate study outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Response/Remission

    The proportion of subjects with clinical response at 8 weeks, defined as ≥2-point decrease in modified pouchitis disease activity index (mPDAI) with at least 1-point decrease in endoscopic subscore compared to the baseline.The mPDAI is a 0- 18 point scale of pouchitis disease severity, with higher scores corresponding to worse disease severity.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Response

    The proportion of subjects with clinical remission at 8 weeks, defined as modified pouchitis disease activity index (mPDAI) <5.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Clinical Remission

    The proportion of subjects with clinical remission at 8 weeks, defined as a modified pouch disease activity index (mPDAI) score of <5 with a ≥2-point decrease from the baseline mPDAI score. The mPDAI is a 0- 18 point scale of pouchitis disease severity, with higher scores corresponding to worse disease severity.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Change in mPDAI Score

    change in median mPDAI score at 8 weeks compared to baseline. The mPDAI (modified pouchitis disease activity index) is a 0- 18 point scale of pouchitis disease severity, with higher scores corresponding to worse disease severity.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Change in mPDAI Clinical Sub-score

    change in median clinical mPDAI sub-score at 8 weeks compared to baseline. The mPDAI (modified pouchitis disease activity index) is a 0- 18 point scale of pouchitis disease severity, with higher scores corresponding to worse disease severity.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Change in mPDAI Endoscopic Sub-score

    change in median endoscopic mPDAI sub-score at 8 weeks compared to baseline. The mPDAI (modified pouchitis disease activity index) is a 0- 18 point scale of pouchitis disease severity, with higher scores corresponding to worse disease severity.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. Change in IBD-related Quality of Life

    CGQL is a quality of life questionnaire used in inflammatory bowel diseases that incorporates three domains - quality of life, quality of health and energy level. Each domain is scored from 0 (worst) to 10 (best)and a total score is calculated by dividing the cumulative score by 30. The CGQL score can range from 0 to 1. Change in quality of life as measured by the Cleveland Global Quality of Life score (CGQL) at 8 weeks compared to baseline.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tofacitinib 10 mg in people with Pouchitis and Ileal Pouchitis, run by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 12 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 Apr 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2024). 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?

Number of Participants With Clinical Response/Remission (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 4 Apr 2024.
