Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of BDP 5 mg extended release tablets, administered once daily for 8 weeks, in inducing a clinical response, defined as a reduction of at least 50% in the frequency of bowel movements with respect to the number of evacuations to ' start of treatment (baseline), evaluated in the 7 days preceding the visit at week 8;Secondary Objective: • To assess the safety and tolerability of BDP in patients with CC • To evaluate the efficacy of BDP in inducing a clinical response, defined as a reduction of at least 50% in the frequency of bowel movements with respect to the number of evacuations beginning of treatment (baseline) and evaluated in the 7 days preceding the visit a week 4 • To evaluate the efficacy of BDP in inducing clinical remission, defined as having a maximum of 21 evacuations (=3 on average per day), including a maximum of 6 watery stools, during the week before the visits at weeks 4 and 8. • To evaluate the efficacy of BDP in patients with CC, at 24:24 weeks after discontinuation of BDP. • To evaluate the efficacy of BDP in the treatment of clinical relapses in patients who have responded to previous treatment with BDP • To evaluate the efficacy of BDP on the resolution of the histological lesions at week 8. • Evaluate the BDP impact on the quality of life of patients;Primary end point(s): At least 50% reduction of evacuation frequency compared to the start of treatment (baseline);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: In the 7 days preceding week 8 | — |
