E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Induction: The primary objective of the Induction phase is to determine if 8 weeks of treatment with 3.2 g/day of TP05 is not inferior to 3.2 g/day of Asacol™ in inducing clinical and endoscopic remission (a score ≤ 2 points on the Mayo scoring scale with no individual sub-score > 1 point) in subjects with active mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
Open Label Extension (OLE): The primary objective of the OLE is to assess the safety and tolerability of TP05 over a 26-week period in subjects achieving endoscopic and clinical remission or exhibiting a response during the initial phase of TP0503. Maintenance of clinical remission by TP05 will also be assessed by determining the proportion of patients in clinical remission at the final visit. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Induction: Proportion of subjects achieving: - endoscopic remission at Week 8 - clinical remission at Week 8 or 12 - a rectal bleeding sub-score of 0 at Week 8 or 12 - clinical remission at both Week 8 and 12 - a clinical and endoscopic response at Week 8 - a clinical response at Week 12 - a clinical response at Week 8 and 12 Also: - change in Mayo scores and PMCS at Week 8 and 12 - change in rectal bleeding and stool frequency at Week 8 and 12
OLE: To assess whether a dose escalation to 4.8 g/day of TP05 is effective in inducing remission in subjects who fail to respond to either Asacol™ or TP05 during induction. Quality of life will also be assessed using the SF-36, EQ-5D, WPAI-UC, subject and physician global ratings. Exploratory analyses of potential associations between patient characteristics and clinical remission as well as AEs or SAEs will be conducted as well as the relationship between faecal calprotectin levels and UC disease severity. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Induction: (1) Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating females, 18 years of age or older.

Females unable to bear children must have documentation of such in the source records (i.e., tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or post-menopausal [defined as a minimum of one year since the last menstrual period]). (2) Documented diagnosis of UC: the diagnosis of UC is based on the site investigator's assessment and should be available at randomisation. (3) Active UC defined by: a. Mayo score of > 5 b. Sigmoidoscopy component score ≥ 2 confirmed by central review and c. Rectal bleeding component score ≥ 1 (4) Ability of the subject to participate fully in all aspects of this clinical trial. (5) Written informed consent must be obtained and documented.
OLE: (1) Attendance at the Week 8 visit and completion of disease activity assessments prior to enrolment in OLE at Week 12 (responders or remitters) or Week 8 (non-responders). (2) At least 75% compliance with study medication in the induction phase. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Induction: (1) Severe UC defined by the following criteria: ≥ 6 bloody stools daily with one or more of the following: a. oral temperature > 37.8°C or > 100.0°F b. pulse > 90 beats/min c. haemoglobin < 10 g/dL (2) Proctitis: distal disease involving the rectum only i.e. disease extending less than 15 cm from the anal verge. (3) Treatment with oral mesalamine at a dose of > 2.5 g/day within 4 weeks prior to randomisation. Pre-study mesalamine therapy at a dose of 2.5g/day or less must be stopped at Visit 2. (4) Treatment with rectal mesalamine within 2 weeks prior to randomisation. (5) Treatment with systemic or rectal steroids within 4 weeks prior to randomisation. (6) Treatment with immunosuppressants within 6 weeks prior to randomisation. (7) Treatment with infliximab or other biologics within 3 months prior to randomisation. (8) Treatment with antibiotics within 7 days prior to randomisation. (9) Treatment with anti-diarrhoeals within 7 days prior to randomisation (10) Treatment with nicotine patch within 7 days prior to randomisation. (11) Received any investigational drug within 30 days prior to randomisation. (12) History of colectomy or partial colectomy. (13) History of definite dysplasia in colonic biopsies. (14) Crohn’s disease. (15) Immediate or significant risk of toxic megacolon. (16) Known bleeding disorders. (17) Hypersensitivity to salicylates, aspirin, sulfasalazine or 5-ASA. (18) Serum creatinine > 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range. (19) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase > 2 times the upper limit of the normal range. (20) Serious underlying disease other than UC which in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the subject’s ability to fully participate in the study. (21) History of alcohol or drug abuse which in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the subject’s ability to comply with the study procedures. (22) Stools positive for Clostridium difficile toxin. (23) Pregnant or lactating women. (24) Prior enrolment in the study.
OLE: (1) Withdrawal from the induction phase prior to the Week 8 visit. |
