About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study of the Safety and Therapeutic Activity of ORE1001 in Subjects With Ulcerative Colitis

A clinical trial is being conducted to test the effects of a potential new treatment in patients with ulcerative colitis. Study participants will be given capsules containing either ORE1001 or a matching placebo capsule and will take the medicine by mouth for six weeks. Study participants will be asked to visit clinic sites where they will be asked questions about their ulcerative colitis. Small samples of blood will be be drawn at study visits to monitor the participant's health and a tiny sample of tissue will be taken in an endoscopy at two times to determine whether the disease is getting better or worse.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase Ib/IIa prospective, multicenter, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pilot therapeutic activity of ORE1001, administered as capsules by mouth, for 6 weeks in subjects with Ulcerative Colitis.

Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to either ORE1001 or placebo, respectively. Sigmoidoscopies with biopsies will be performed at the first treatment visit and week 6.

Subjects will be instructed to self-administer the study drug on an outpatient basis and will be scheduled to return for clinical evaluation on weeks 2, 4, 6 and between Weeks 10-12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ORE1001 in people with Mild to Moderate Ulcerative Colitis, run by Ore Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 7 sites in 2 countries.

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 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in India, Canada. 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. 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 combined 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact John F Reinhard, Ph.D. ((617) 250-8620, jreinhard@orepharma.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The safety and tolerability of ORE1001 in subjects with ulcerative colitis as demonstrated by the frequency and severity of adverse events (time frame: 6 Week). 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 NCT01039597, 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 8 Jun 2011.
