About this study

Official title: Fecal Calprotectin Levels, Quality of Life and Workability in Patients Suffering From Ulcerative Colitis Under Adalimumab Therapy - AdaProQuo

The objectives of this study are to explore the fecal calprotectin (fC) levels of UC patients under adalimumab therapy and the correlation with their general wellbeing (Quality of Life [QoL]), workability, and disease activity.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-interventional, observational study in which Humira (adalimumab) is prescribed in the usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization with regards to dose, population and indication. The assignment of the patient to a adalimumab containing regimen has to be decided in advance and has to be current practice. The prescription of adalimumab is clearly separated from the decision to include the participant in this study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Moderate to Severe Ulcerative ColitisPatients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who have not responded despite a full and adequate course of therapy with a corticosteroid and an immunosuppressant (azathioprine [AZA]/ 6-mercaptopurine [6-MP]); or who are intolerant to or have medical contraindications for such therapies and are hence prescribed adalimumab for the treatment of moderate to severely active UC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients With Fecal Calprotectin (fC) Level ≤ 150 µg/g After 12 Months of Treatment With Adalimumab

    Fecal calprotectin (fC) is a non-invasive surrogate marker of inflammation in the small intestine and levels below 250 ug/g is associated with mucosal healing. fC levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and/or a validated quantitative rapid test. The study was terminated due to low enrollment. Although no meaningful analysis can be presented, data for subjects with available data for fC levels at Month 12 at the end of study (termination) are provided.

    Measured: Month 12

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline to Month 12 in Patient's Workability Measured Using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment:Ulcerative Colitis (WPAI:UC) Questionnaire

    The WPAI:UC is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity (work time missed and work and activity impairment) during the past 7 days due to UC. The scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Change in WPAI-UC is calculated by deducting the final score from the baseline score. Increased (positive) scores correspond to a reduction in the percentage of lost work productivity.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Month 12

  2. Change From Baseline to Month 12 in Patient's Quality of Life (QoL) Measured Using the Short Inflammatory Bowl Disease Questionnaire (sIBDQ)

    The sIBDQ is a disease-specific health-related quality of life (QoL) questionnaire, able to detect and define meaningful clinical changes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients by measuring physical, social and emotional status. The sIBDQ consists of 10 questions, each question is scored on a scale from 1 (poor QoL) to 7 (good QoL). The scores are summed up and divided by 10 for a mean score ranging from 1 (poor QoL) to 7 (good QoL). Increased scores correspond to an improvement in QoL.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Month 12

  3. Change From Baseline to Month 12 in Disease Activity Determined by Partial Mayo Score

    A partial mayo score (mayo score without endoscopy) ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 9 (severe disease) and calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and physician's global assessment [PGA]).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Month 12

  4. Correlation Between fC and Disease Activity Determined by Partial Mayo Score

    Fecal calprotectin (fC) is a non-invasive surrogate marker of inflammation in the small intestine and levels below 250 ug/g is associated with mucosal healing. fC levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and/or a validated quantitative rapid test. A partial mayo score (mayo score without endoscopy) ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 9 (severe disease) and calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and PGA).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Month 12

  5. Correlation Between fC and Patient's QoL Determined by the sIBDQ

    fC is a non-invasive surrogate marker of inflammation in the small intestine and levels below 250 ug/g is associated with mucosal healing. fC levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and/or a validated quantitative rapid test. The sIBDQ is a disease-specific health-related QoL questionnaire, able to detect and define meaningful clinical changes in IBD patients by measuring physical, social and emotional status. The sIBDQ consists of 10 questions, each question is scored on a scale from 1 (poor QoL) to 7 (good QoL). The scores are summed up and divided by 10 for a mean score ranging from 1 (poor QoL) to 7 (good QoL).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Month 12

  6. Correlation Between fC and Workability Determined by WPAI:UC Questionnaire

    Fecal calprotectin (fC) is a non-invasive surrogate marker of inflammation in the small intestine and levels below 250 ug/g is associated with mucosal healing. fC levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and/or a validated quantitative rapid test. The WPAI:UC is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity (work time missed and work and activity impairment) during the past 7 days due to UC. The scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis, run by AbbVie.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 23 Feb 2017. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 2017). 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?

Percentage of Patients With Fecal Calprotectin (fC) Level ≤ 150 µg/g After 12 Months of Treatment With Adalimumab (time frame: Month 12). 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 23 Feb 2017.
