Study Snapshot
What To Know
This ClinicalTrials.gov record describes a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study testing AC-101 tablets in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. The trial will compare two oral doses of AC-101, given twice daily, versus placebo over a 12-week induction period with a longer extension and safety follow-up.
Eligible participants must have endoscopy- and histology-confirmed UC (extent ≥ 15 cm from anal verge) and a modified Mayo Score consistent with moderate-to-severe disease, plus prior inadequate response/loss of response or intolerance to prior advanced or conventional therapies.
Key exclusions include severe extensive colitis, recent hospitalization for UC flare, presence of ostomy or fistula, recent use of certain biologics or immunosuppressive procedures, active infections (including TB, HBV, HCV, HIV), and recent live vaccination.
The registered primary outcome is clinical remission at Week 12 using stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and centrally read endoscopy subscores. Planned enrollment is 153 and the record is listed as not yet recruiting.
Keep In Mind
Registered as a Phase 2, not-yet-recruiting interventional study on ClinicalTrials.gov; the record describes planned design and eligibility but contains no efficacy or safety results.
