Summary

This is a phase I-II study with the herbal formulation (HF2) for treatment of active ulcerative colitis

This will be a two-stage study:

Stage 1 will comprise an open label single arm exploratory study of 10 active ulcerative colitis (UC) patients investigating oral HF2 therapy for induction of remission in outpatients with active UC. Active disease is defined as (SCCAI) score ≥5 and a score of ≥2 in the modified Mayo endoscopic sub-score. Clinical remission is defined as a SCCAI score of ≤2 The patients will receive HF2 therapy for 4 weeks. Stage 2: If clinical response (defined as a drop of ≥3 points of the SCCAI score ) is achieved in ≥ 3 patients and no significant safety signals will emerge, the investigators will proceed to a prospective pilot randomized placebo-controlled study. Patients will be randomized into one of two arms: HF2 once daily or placebo formulation (2:1 proportion) for 8 weeks.

The primary outcome for stage 2 is a co-primary outcome of clinical response (reduction in SCCAI of ≤3 OR achievement of clinical remission defined as SCCAI ≤2) coupled with an objective evidence of response (Mayo score improvement of ≥1 or 50% FcAL reduction) at week 8.

Patients clinically responding at week 8, will be eligible to continue in an 8-weeks extension study to receive either placebo or 1.5gr/day curcumin alone until week 16, as per their original allocation. Exploratory analysis of outcomes for the extension study will include the percentage of patients in clinical remission (SCCAI≤2) and the percentage of patients who maintained clinical response (reduction in SCCAI of ≥3 point compared to week 0).
