About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of ONO-4819CD for Treatment of Mild to Moderate Ulcerative Colitis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ONO-4819CD is safe and effective in the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.

Read the detailed description

Ulcerative colitis is a relapsing disease of unknown cause characterized by bloody diarrhea. Therapy usually involves 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. However, steroid resistance and dependency can become problematic. Immunosuppressive drugs, such as azathioprine, are beneficial but may have serious side effects. Therefore, new therapeutic approach is needed.

Prostaglandin E2 is one of the prostanoids, which is involved with innate immunity. PGE2 induces oral tolerance to specific antigen in the small intestine and downregulates the production and release of proinflammatory cytokines by macrophages and neutrophils. Accordingly, PGE2 is considered to be the mediator of mucosal protection.

Recently, it was elucidated that disruption of EP4 gene, which is one of PGE receptors, caused severe colitis in mice. Moreover, EP4-selective agonist (AE1-734) was also revealed to ameliorate severe dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in mice. We therefore examined the effects of 2 weeks intravenous EP4-selective agonist therapy for patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rivenprost (drug) in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Kyoto University, Graduate School of Medicine at 1 site in Japan.

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 17 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 28 Apr 2009. 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 Japan. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: terminated). 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?

Remission evaluated by DAI scores at 14 and 28 days. 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 NCT00296556, which also lists 2 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 28 Apr 2009.
