  • Antibiotic treatment for any systemic infection within 3 weeks prior to screening.
  • Female subjects who are pregnant or breast-feeding.

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study of the Human Anti-TNF Monoclonal Antibody Adalimumab in Ulcerative Colitis Patients

This is an open-label study of 20 patients designed to demonstrate the safety, tolerability and preliminary evidence of benefit of adalimumab in the treatment of subjects with Ulcerative Colitis, both in patients who have never received anit-TNF agents and in those who have lost response or developed intolerance to previous infliximab therapy.

Being tested
Adalimumab
Medical subject headings
Colitis, Ulcerative

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AdalimumabDrug

    Also called Humira

    The loading dose will be 160 mg. A dose of 80 mg will be given at Week 2 and 40 mg every other week starting at Week 4 until completion at Week 24. If it is found that they are not responding to 40 mg of adalimumab at Week 8 or later, the dose may be increased to 40 mg weekly.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Primary pilot efficacy variable will be the induction of clinical response, which is defined as a decrease in Mayo score less than 30% from baseline or less than 3 points PLUS decrease in rectal bleeding sub-score less than or equal to 1 at week 8

    Measured: 24 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical remission at each visit

    Measured: 24 Weeks

  2. Clinical response at each visit

    Measured: 24 Weeks

  3. Improvement in the mucosal inflammation at week 8

    Measured: 24 Weeks

  4. Mayo Score

    Measured: 24 Weeks

  5. Ability to taper and discontinue steroids according to the tapering schedule after week 8

    Measured: 24 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adalimumab in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Mayo Clinic at 3 sites 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 8 inclusion and 13 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The Primary pilot efficacy variable will be the induction of clinical response, which is defined as a decrease in Mayo score less than 30% from baseline or less than 3 points PLUS decrease in rectal bleeding sub-score less than or equal to 1 at week 8 (time frame: 24 Weeks). 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 NCT00421642, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Aug 2012.
