Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of orally administered LX1606 after 8 weeks in a cohort of subjects with acute, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.;Secondary Objective: • Examine the relationship between reductions in 5-HIAA levels and clinical improvement in ulcerative colitis • Evaluate differences between each LX1606 dose group and placebo for the following measures at Week 8: - Proportion of subjects achieving clinical response - Proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission - Change from baseline in the total modified Mayo score ;Primary end point(s): Assessment of safety and tolerability of LX1606 after 8 weeks in a cohort of subjects with acute, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout the duration of the study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Examination of the relationship between reductions in 5-HIAA levels and clinical improvement in ulcerative colitis - Evaluatation of differences between each LX1606 dose group and placebo for the following measures at Week 8: Proportion of subjects achieving clinical response Proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission Change from baseline in the total modified 1 Mayo score 1 Endoscopy evaluation is based on modified criteria: 0 = Normal or inactive disease 1 = Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, no friability 2 = Moderate disease (marked erythema, absent vascular pattern, friability, erosions) 3 = Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 8
