Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Response rate of the study drug (ratio of patients with response*1 among the enrolled patients) and before-and-after comparison of LRG values at 0 and 6 weeks in patients with response (paired median test will be performed) *1 Response is defined by MES of 0 or 1, the rectal bleeding sub-score of 0, and stool frequency sub-score of 1 or less at week 6. *2: MES is evaluated by the Endoscopic Score Evaluation Committee.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Percentage changes in biomarkers (serum LRG and serum CRP) values between baseline and Week 6 in patients stratified by achievement of remission (CMH/MH/CR). The Weilcoxon signed-rank test will be implemented. 2. The cut off value were calculated by ROC analysis of each biomarker (serum LRG and serum CRP) in patients stratified by achievement of remission (CMH / MH / CR) 3. Correlation between the efficacy of the study drug and inflammation type 4. Correlation between each sub-score of the Mayo score * 1 and biomarker (serum LRG and serum CRP) values 5. Correlation between serum LRG and serum CRP with inflammation type evaluated by cytokine expr ession level (mRNA levels) 6. Histological evaluation of colonic mucosa by the Histological Evaluation Committee (evaluated by the Geboes Index, the Nancy Index, the Robert Histological Index) * 1 MES is evaluated by the Endoscopic Score Evaluation Committee.
