Patients who had at least one relapse of the disease in the 2 years prior to the screening visit. 5. Patients who, according to the medical history, have FC levels above 250 µg/g of faeces in the 30 days preceding the screening visit confirmed between screening and baseline visit by a central laboratory. 6. Receiving treatment at stable doses of oral 5-aminosalicylate for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit. 7. Patients who have signed the informed consent form for participating in the study.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of stoma or prior colon resection. 2. Patients with ulcerative colitis confined to the rectum (15 cm or less from the anal border) 3. Receiving treatment with oral or rectal treatment with systemic corticosteroids, immunomodulating agents [thiopurines (azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine), methotrexate, calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine and tacrolimus)] or biologic treatment in the 12 weeks prior to the screening visit 4. Previous intolerance or toxicity associated with systemic corticosteroids. 5. Pregnant or lactating women and all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant (i.e. women of childbearing potential) unless are using one or more of the highly effective contraceptive measures* at the screening visit. 6. Presence of any disease for which corticosteroid treatment is contraindicated. 7. Any serious disease or comorbidity. 8.

Patients who received any investigational new drug, or participated in a clinical study within the last 8 weeks. 11.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the superiority of oral beclometasone dipropionate (BDP) over placebo on lowering levels of faecal calprotectin (FC) below 100 µg/g after 4 weeks of treatment in patients with clinical remission and at risk of relapse who are receiving treatment with 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA);Secondary Objective: • To assess the effect of oral BDP on lowering FC levels below 100 µg/g after 8 weeks of treatment. • To assess the effect of oral BDP on lowering FC levels below 150 µg/g after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. • To assess the effect of oral BDP on lowering FC levels below 50 µg/g after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. • To assess the effect of oral BDP on intra-patient change of FC levels after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. • To assess the effect of oral BDP on disease activity after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. • To evaluate the safety of oral BDP treatment.;Primary end point(s): Percentage of patients with FC levels below 100 µg/g after 4 weeks of treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation after 4 weeks of treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Percentage of patients with FC levels below 100 µg/g after 8 weeks of treatment. • Percentage of patients with FC levels below 150 µg/g after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. • Percentage of patients with FC levels below 50 µg/g after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. • Mean intra-patient change in FC levels after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. • Percentage of patients with disease worsening – after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment: increase of the Partial Mayo Score Index, hospitalization, treatment with classic corticosteroids or changes in maintenance treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment | — |
