Brief summary

PHASE: IV DESCRIPTIVE: Randomized, interventional, open label multicenter trial POPULATION: Moderate to severe ulcerative colitis STUDY TREATMENTS: Patients will all receive Adalimumab 160/80/40mg EOW until V1 (W14) followed by 40mg EOW until V2 (W26) and could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) for two months and then could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) and azathioprine (2.0/2.5 mg/kg/ day) or methotrexate (25 mg EW) until V3 (W 38). OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of a treat to target treatment follow up by e-Monitoring and fecal calprotectin dosing at home associated to an appropriate patient education versus standard treatment follow up at W48 in patients requiring a treatment with adalimumab (Humira®).

Detailed description

NUMBER OF PATIENTS : 238 patients in 20 sites in France RECRUITMENT PERIOD : The trial duration for each patient will be 144 weeks MAIN ENDPOINT : At week 48 success defined by: Endoscopic remission defined by an endoscopic Mayo score 0 SECONDARY ENDPOINTS: At W48 * Clinical remission (Clinical remission is defined as a total Mayo score ≤2 points, with no individual sub score \>1, and a Mayo endoscopy sub score of 0 or 1) * Remission without steroids * Endoscopic healing rate with Mayo score 0 or 1 * UCEIS score * Histological healing (Nancy score) * Remission rate and remission rate without steroids at study visits and W48 * Quality of life evolution (evaluate visit W0 vs W14, W26, W38 and W48) * Patients satisfaction * Continuous response * Safety and tolerability * Anti-TNF pharmacokinetics * Number of visits in trial * Number of UC related hospitalizations * Number of colectomies * Treatment compliance (questionnaire) * Patient adhesion (questionnaire) * Medico-economic analysis

Interventions

DRUGAdalimumab

Patients will all receive Adalimumab 160/80/40mg EOW until V1 (W14) followed by 40mg EOW until V2 (W26)

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTCalprotectin

Fecal calprotectin dosing at home with IBDoc

OTHERe-Monitoring

e-Monitoring at Week 6, Week 10, Week 14, Week 18, Week 22, Week 26, Week 34, Week 38, Week 42 and Week 48 The patient must complete the first 2 questions of the Mayo score: * Stool frequency * The frequency of bleeding He must also complete the information on his injections

OTHERTherapy Education

Patient Education at W0, W2, W14, W26 and W38.
