Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of cyclically-dosed rectal budesonide foam in participants with active ulcerative proctitis (UP) or ulcerative proctosigmoiditis (UPS).

Detailed description

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label study in participants who previously participated in a Salix-sponsored budesonide rectal foam study for the treatment of UP or UPS. Approximately 300 participants were to be enrolled into the study and receive budesonide foam cyclically for 6 weeks (twice a day \[BID\] for 2 weeks and once daily \[QD\] for 4 weeks). The study was to continue until regulatory approval of budesonide foam occurred or the sponsor decided to terminate the study.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

Each participant received study drug for 6 weeks per cycle for up to 8 cycles and underwent a 48-hour study drug washout period between each cycle. Study was terminated for non-safety reasons when Sponsor felt sufficient long-term safety data was obtained.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Budesonide Foam
Participants administered topical rectal budesonide foam at 2 mg/25 mL BID (morning and 12 hours later) for 2 weeks followed by 2 mg/25 mL QD (in the evenings) for 4 weeks for up to 8 cycles. After Cycle 1, participants needed to qualify to be able to participate in subsequent cycles. Participants underwent a 48-hour study drug washout period between each cycle.
