Brief Title  ICMJERandomized Placebo Controlled Trial of Budesonide-MMX™ 6 mg and 9 mg in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Official Title  ICMJEEfficacy and Safety of Oral Budesonide-MMX™ (CB-01-02) 6 mg and 9 mg Extended Release Tablets in Patients With Mild or Moderate Active Ulcerative Colitis. A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Comparative Study Versus Placebo With an Additional Reference Arm Evaluating Entocort®EC
Brief Summary

This will be a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group comparative study in patients with mild or moderate, active ulcerative colitis. The study will compare budesonide-MMX™ 6 mg and budesonide-MMX™ 9 mg tablets to placebo and to Entocort® 3 x 3 mg capsules, in four parallel groups of patients over an 8 week treatment period.

After the screening visit, patients will enter a washout period of 2 days, then they will be randomised to the following four treatment groups: budesonide-MMX™ tablets (6 mg), budesonide-MMX™ tablets (9 mg), Entocort® capsules (3 x 3 mg) and placebo (tablets and capsules), all administered once a day after breakfast. Hence, each patient will receive, in the morning after breakfast, either one budesonide-MMX™ 6 mg or budesonide MMX™ 9 mg tablet and 3 placebo Entocort® matching capsules, or three Entocort® 3 mg capsules and one placebo budesonide-MMX™ matching tablet, or one placebo budesonide-MMX™ matching tablet and three placebo Entocort® matching capsules.

In addition, all females of child-bearing potential must agree to be completely abstinent or be using an accepted form of contraception throughout the entire study period. Accepted forms of contraception are defined as those with a failure rate <1% when properly applied and include: combination oral pill, some intra-uterine devices, and a sterilised partner in a stable relationship. Female subjects must also not be actively breast-feeding through the entire study period.
    • Ability to comprehend the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and side effects.
    • Ability to co-operate with the investigator and to comply with the requirements of the entire study.
    • Must be able to understand and voluntarily sign written informed consent prior to inclusion in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who meet any of the following criteria at screening visit are to be excluded from study participation:

    • Patients with limited distal proctitis (from anal verge up to 15 cm above the pectineal line).
    • Patients with severe ulcerative colitis (UCDAI >10).
    • Patients with infectious colitis.
