About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Randomized, Multi-Centre, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of HMPL-004 in Patients With Mild to Moderate Active Ulcerative Colitis With or Without Mesalamine

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HMPL-004 in patients with active mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC), compared with placebo.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase II study conducted in North America (U.S. and Canada) and Europe (Romania and Ukraine) in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. Treatment consisted of one of 2 doses of HMPL-004 (1200 mg daily or 1800 mg daily, administered in 3 divided doses) or matching placebo. Assessment of treatment effect is based on the Mayo score. Subjects eligible for the study will include those ≥18 years of age with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis, having a Mayo score of 4 to 10, with activity confirmed by endoscopy within 2 weeks prior to study entry, and having a Mayo endoscopy score ≥1. Subjects who are using concomitant mesalamine could enter the study. The randomization will be stratified by mesalamine use or non-use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With a Clinical Response at Week 8

    Clinical response at week 8, which is a decrease in the Mayo score from the baseline by ≥ 3 points AND ≥ 30% decrease in the Mayo score along with either a decrease in the rectal bleeding score ≥ 1 OR an absolute rectal bleeding score ≤ 1.

    The full Mayo Score evaluates ulcerative colitis stage, based on four parameters: stool frequency (0-3), rectal bleeding (0-3), endoscopic evaluation (0-3) and Physician's global assessment (0-3), ranging from 0 to 12. The higher score means a higher disease activity or worse outcome.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With a Clinical Remission at Week 8

    The percentage of subjects exhibiting clinical remission (Mayo score ≤2 with no individual score >1) at week 8.

    The full Mayo Score evaluates ulcerative colitis stage, based on four parameters: stool frequency (0-3), rectal bleeding (0-3), endoscopic evaluation (0-3) and Physician's global assessment (0-3), ranging from 0 to 12. The higher score means a higher disease activity or worse outcome.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Mucosal Healing at Week 8

    The percentage of subjects achieving Mucosal Healing at week 8. Mucosal Healing was defined as a significant decrease from baseline in the Mayo endoscopy sub-score ≥1 and absolute score ≤1. Mayo endoscopy sub-score ranges from 0 to 12. The higher score means a higher disease activity or worse outcome.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HMPL-004 low dose and HMPL-004 high dose in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Hutchison Medipharma Limited.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 22 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 22 Jul 2020). 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 a Clinical Response at Week 8 (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 22 Jul 2020.
