About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-arm, Single-center Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of ENC1018 Capsules in Patients With Moderate-to-severe Active Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

This is an open-label, single-arm, single-center study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy signal of ENC1018 capsules in patients with moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis (UC).

Read the detailed description

The study will enroll about 10 diagnosed patients with moderate-to-severe active UC. Each patient will receive an oral dose of ENC1018 capsules once daily for 14 consecutive days after enrollment. Before each dose, patients must fast for at least 2 hours to remain in a fasting state, and no food should be consumed for at least 2 hours after dosing. The entire study period includes a screening phase of up to 3 weeks, a 14-day treatment period, and a 2-week follow-up period. The total duration of the trial is up to 49 days, and patients will be hospitalized during the treatment period. Blood and fecal samples will be collected during the study for PK evaluation.

A study testing ENC1018 capsule administration group in people with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), run by Tang-Du Hospital.

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 6 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2025. 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?

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?

Contact Xin Wang (029-84777551, wangx@fmmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE); (time frame: Day 1 - Day 28). 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 14 Jul 2025.
