About this study

Official title: Assessment of Safety and Efficacy of Vedolizumab in Pediatric Uclerative Colitis in Comparison With Standard Biological Therapy With Infliximab

This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study to compare the safety, effectiveness and immunogenicity (antibodies against drug) of two biological drugs administered intravenously - vedolizumab (a drug not registered in pediatric patients) and infliximab (used as standard therapy), in pediatric patients with UC aged 6-18 years.

Before enrollment to the study, informed consent must be obtained from the participant's legal guardian and, additionally, from the participant aged >16 years before any procedures are performed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • InfliximabDrug

    Also called vedolizumab

    Patients meeting the inclusion criteria and not having any of the exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to one of two study arms - intravenous administration of blinded active drug, infliximab or vedolizumab at weeks 0, 2, 6 and 14. Infliximab will be administered at a dose 5mg/kg body weight, and vedolizumab at a dose of 300 mg (body mass > 40 kg) and 10 mg/kg (body mass < 40kg).

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of biological treatment with vedolizumab and infliximab assessed/defined by the number of drug-related adverse events (AEs).

    Information on AEs will be collected on each check-up visit, physical examination, vital signs and lab test will be performed

    Measured: screening - Week 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Infliximab in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by JAROSLAW KIERKUS.

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 8 inclusion and 19 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2024. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Safety of biological treatment with vedolizumab and infliximab assessed/defined by the number of drug-related adverse events (AEs). (time frame: screening - Week 20). 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 26 Sep 2024.
