Summary

This is a 4-week pilot, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded placebo controlled trial of hydroxocobalamin and butyrate in ulcerative colitis (UC) that will occur in two phases.

Hydroxocobalamin with Butyrate

In phase 1, patients will take hydroxocobalamin at 1g daily for four weeks. This will be in the form of 1 500mg capsule twice a day. Butyrate will be 240 mg daily in a divided dose (120 mg twice daily) which is 5 pills twice a day. In phase 2, the dose of hydroxocobalamin will be increased to 2g daily (1g twice a day) for four weeks pending FDA approval. Butyrate will remain at 240 mg daily in a divided dose (120 mg twice daily) which is 5 pills twice a day. Patients will undergo flexible sigmoidoscopy at baseline and at week four in phase 2.

DRUG

Placebo with Butyrate

In phase 1, patients will take 1 placebo capsule twice a day. Butyrate will be taken at 240 mg daily in a divided dose (120 mg twice daily) which is 5 pills twice a day. In phase 2, patients will take 2 placebo capsules twice a day, along with butyrate at 240 mg daily in a divided dose (120 mg twice daily) which is 5 pills twice a day.
