About this study

Official title: A Phase IIa (Proof of Concept), Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Treatment With PBF-677 in Patients With Mild to Moderate Ulcerative Colitis

This is a Phase IIa (proof of concept), randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily PBF-677 oral treatment during 28 days in Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients who are not receiving immunosuppressants and present mild-to-moderate activity of the disease. Enrolled patients would receive standard high doses of 5-ASA (4g), according to current clinical guidelines, and are randomized to receive also PBF-677 or placebo.

Read the detailed description

This Proof-of-concept clinical trial is carefully designed to establish the safety profile of PBF-677 over 28 days in mild to moderate ulcerative colitis population and explore the relationship between the 200 mg PBF-677 dose and induction of remission, according to clinical parameters (Partial Mayo Score) and a faecal surrogate biomarker of mucosal inflammation (Calprotectin). The trial also will explore the PBF-677 pharmacokinetics (PK) profile during 28 days of administration.

This small-scale study has been designed to detect a signal that PBF-677 is safe and active on decreasing levels of faecal calprotectin, as well as preliminary evidence of ameliorate the Partial Mayo Clinical Score in colitis patients who are in flare of the disease.

The Population Under Study will be: Around 30 subjects. Adults (18-75 years old) non-immunosuppressed patients with mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03"

    Adverse events will be assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. If

    Measured: 28 Days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Effect of PBF-677 on Faecal calprotectin levels

    Calprotectin levels in stools is a validated biomarker of the severity of the disease. A decrease in the calprotectin levels under 50 mg/Kg is associated with the remission of the disease flare.

    Measured: 28 Days

  2. Effect of PBF-677 on Ulcerative Colitis activity

    The assessment Will be based on the Partial Mayo Scoring Index that sum and score the following ítems:

    1. Stool Frequency (based on the past 3 days)
    2. Rectal Bleeding (based on the past 3 days)
    3. Physician's Global Assessment

    The scoring range is as follow:

    Remission = 0-1 Mild Disease = 2-4 Moderate Disease = 5-6 Severe Disease =7-9

    Measured: 28 Days

  3. Pharmacokinetic PBF-677 peak concentration in plasma

    The parameter will be calculated from plasma samples collected at days 1 and 14 after drug administration. It will consist in the maximum plasma concentration (ng/mL) of PBF-677 observed after administration

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 14

  4. Pharmacokinetic Time to PBF-677 peak concentration in plasma "Tmax"

    The parameter will be calculated from plasma samples collected at days 1 and 14 after drug administration.It will consist in the time (in minutes) to reach the maximum "PBF-677" concentration in plasma samples of patients after oral administration of PBF-677.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 14

  5. Pharmacokinetic Area under curve (AUC) of PBF-677 in plasma

    The parameter will be calculated from plasma samples collected at days 1 and 14 after drug administration. It will consist in the area under the concentration-time curve from zero up to ∞ with extrapolation of the terminal phase. "AUC(0-inf)" will be given in Amount·time/ volume units

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 14

  6. Pharmacokinetic Ctrough plasma concentration of PBF-677

    Trough plasma concentration (measured concentration at the end of a dosing interval at steady state [taken directly before next administration])

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PBF-677 in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Palobiofarma SL at 1 site in Spain.

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 10 inclusion and 16 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 13 Jan 2022. 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 Spain. 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 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?

Number of subjects with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03" (time frame: 28 Days). 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 13 Jan 2022.
