Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: To evaluate the percentage of patients that show clinical improvement (drop in UC DAI = 3 points from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment). To evaluate the change in UC-DAI score from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment. To evaluate the change in symptoms (rectal bleeding and stool frequency) from Baseline to 2, 4 and 8 Weeks. To evaluate the change in sigmoidoscopic (mucosal) appearance from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment;Primary end point(s): Percentage of patients in remission (defined as patients with UC-DAI score =1 with a score of 0 for rectal bleeding and stool frequency and at least a 1 point reduction from baseline in the sigmoidoscopy score) at Week 8 (after 8 weeks of study drug treatment).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 8 weeks, end of tretament period;Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of GED-0507-34-Levo in patients with active ulcerative colitis defined as the percentage of patients in remission at Week 8 (after 8 weeks of treatment). The Remission is defined as Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Index (UC-DAI)= 1 with a score of 0 for rectal bleeding and stool frequency and at least a 1 point reduction from Baseline in the sigmoidoscopy score. To assess the safety and tolerability of GED-0507-34-Levo 160 mg/day. | — |
