About this study
Official title: A Multi-center, Investigator-blinded, Randomized, 12-month, Parallel-group, Non-inferiority Study to Compare the Efficacy of 1.6 to 2.4 g Asacol® Therapy QD Versus Divided Dose (BID) in the Maintenance of Remission of Ulcerative Colitis
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy in maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis between a once daily (QD) Asacol regimen and a divided, twice daily (BID) Asacol dosing regimen.
Read the detailed description
Currently, in the US, Asacol therapy is indicated in divided doses for the maintenance of remission of ulcerative colitis at 1.6 g/day. A once daily dose is potentially beneficial to patients and physicians alike. This study will answer the following questions about once daily dosing: (1) does efficacy differ between once daily and twice daily dosing, (2) do patients prefer a once daily dosing regimen, and (3) is compliance better? This study will confirm whether there are benefits to once daily dosing beyond increased convenience. In order to understand how the QD regimen compares to BID in a "real life" practice setting, the patient will remain on the total daily dose of Asacol (1.6 g/day to 2.4 g/day) on which they were maintained in remission, but will be assigned to either a QD or BID regimen. This is an investigator-blinded study.

Number of Subjects Who Relapse/Flare Within 6 Months, ITT Population
Relapse/flare is defined as SCCAI >= 5. Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index: minimum score 0, maximum score 19, reflects disease activity over the 24 hours prior to completion. Composite Score: bowel frequency (day, 0-3) (night, 0-2), defecation urgency (0-3), blood in stool (0-3), general well being (0-4), extracolonic features (arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, erythema nodosum, uveitis - 1 per manifestation).
Measured: 6 months
Total MARS (Medication Adherence Report Scale) Questionnaire Scores, ITT Population, Month 6
MARS: Composite score for the following statements: I change how many times per day I take my medicine, I forget to use it, I stop taking it for a while, I only use it when I am having active symptoms, I decide to miss out on a dose, I take less than instructed, I take more than instructed, I avoid using it if I can, I use it regularly every day (reverse scored): 5-never, 4-rarely, 3-sometimes, 2-often, 1-very often. Minimum score 9, maximum score 45.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

Detailed description

A once daily dose is potentially beneficial to patients and physicians alike. This study will answer the following questions about once daily dosing: (1) does efficacy differ between once daily and twice daily dosing, (2) do patients prefer a once daily dosing regimen, and (3) is compliance better? This study will confirm whether there are benefits to once daily dosing beyond increased convenience. In order to understand how the QD regimen compares to BID in a "real life" practice setting, the patient will remain on the total daily dose of Asacol (1.6 g/day to 2.4 g/day) on which they were maintained in remission, but will be assigned to either a QD or BID regimen.

What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?
Percentage of Patients Remaining in Remission at Month 6, ITT Population, Determined by the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT00505778, 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?
