About this study

Casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) has anti-inflammatory properties in experimental rodent colitis and using human in vitro inflammation models. Its use as a food ingredient has proven safe and with no influence on dietary intake. In a pilot study the investigators found, that orally administered CGMP seems to have a beneficial effect comparable to that of mesalazine in active distal ulcerative colitis.

The investigators wish to evaluate the effects in a larger group of patients with active ulcerative colitis by studying the clinical effects and assessing the anti-inflammatory and microbiome modulating properties.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endoscopic remission

    The number of patients in endoscopic remission/macroscopic mucosal healing (Endoscopic Mayo Score of 0)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Clinical remission

    The number of patients in clinical remission (SCCAI ≤ 2)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Clinical Response

    The number of patients with clinical response (reduction of SCCAI-score of at least 2 points)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Fecal inflammatory marker

    The number of patients with a fecal-calprotectin below 150 mg/kg

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Endoscopic response

    The number of patients with endoscopic response (reduction of Endoscopic Mayo Score of at least 1point)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Steroid-free remission

    The number of patients in steroid-free remission (SCCAI ≤ 2)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Clinical remission at follow-up

    The number of patients in clinical remission (SCCAI ≤ 2)

    Measured: 26 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) in people with Colitis, Ulcerative and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Endoscopic remission (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Apr 2020.
