About this study

Official title: A Multi-centre, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Proof of Concept Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of KRP203 in Subjects With Moderately Active Refractory Ulcerative Colitis

This study is designed as a proof of concept of KRP203 for induction of remission in ulcerative colitis (UC). The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical benefit of KRP203 in subjects with moderately active refractory ulcerative colitis.

The study will provide safety and tolerability data in this subject population up to eight weeks of treatment with KRP203. Additionally, this study will evaluate the duration of a clinical response to KRP203 by following up responding subjects for an additional 12 weeks.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-centre, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group, proof of concept study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of KRP203 in subjects with moderately active refractory ulcerative colitis subjects. In total, approximately 72 subjects will be randomized into the study.

After 30 patients have completed the 8 week treatment period with KRP203 or placebo, there will be an interim analysis to determine preliminary efficacy. The study will consist of up to 28 day screening period (day -35 to -8), baseline period (day -7 to day -1), treatment period (day 1 to day 56), follow-up period and study completion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in clinical remission rate

    Difference between clinical remission rate of subjects on KRP203 versus placebo

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Safety and tolerability of KRP203 assessed by the number of subjects with adverse events where KRP203 is given as an oral drug for 8 weeks once a day in ulcerative colitis subjects

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Pharmacokinetic properties of KRP203 at steady-state using whole blood samples in patients with ulcerative colitis subjects

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Difference in pharmacokinetic levels

    To explore the relationship between KRP203 and KRP203-P pharmacokinetic levels and clinical efficacy outcomes such as the partial Mayo score and endoscopic modified Baron Score

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Assessment of the pharmacodynamic effect of KRP203 on absolute lymphocyte count and leukocyte subsets in ulcerative colitis subjects

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Change in markers of inflammation

    Measure of the effect of KRP203 on markers of inflammation, including but not limited to ESR, CRP and fecal calprotectin/ lactoferrin as well as histopathological markers of gut mucosa using biopsy samples in ulcerative colitis subjects

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing KRP203 in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 14 sites in 6 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 11 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Hungary, Switzerland and 1 more country. 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 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. 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?

Change in clinical remission rate (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 11 Feb 2020.
