Last Updated: 2010-09-08

Results Overview

The primary endpoint is the percent of patients with a clinical response as defined by a drop in the Short Clinical Colitis Score (SCCAI) of at least 3 points from Week 0 to Week 12. Short Clinical Colitis Score (SCCAI): Bowel frequency(day0-3,night0-2),urgency(0-3),rectal bleeding(0-3),well being(0-4),extracolonic features(0-4), total score 0(best)-19(worst).
