Ulcerative Colitis clinical trials at UCSF

12 in progress, 4 open to eligible people

Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation in the digestive system. UCSF is looking for children and teenagers with moderate to severe UC to study the effectiveness of Vedolizumab, Mirikizumab, and Tofacitinib. They are also studying the safety and effectiveness of Etrasimod for adolescents with moderately to severely active UC.

  • A Master Protocol (AMAZ): A Study of Mirikizumab (LY3074828) in Pediatric Participants With Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease (SHINE-ON)

    open to eligible people ages 2-19

    The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of mirikizumab in pediatric participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study will last about 172 weeks and may include up to 44 visits.

  • A Study of Vedolizumab in Children and Teenagers With Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

    open to eligible people ages 2-17

    Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no or limited signs of disease. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive 1 of 3 doses of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.

  • A Study to Evaluate Etrasimod Treatment in Adolescents With Ulcerative Colitis

    open to eligible people ages 12-17

    The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of etrasimod for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adolescents (≥ 12 years up to < 18 years of age). Participants who will complete the total 52-week treatment period will have the opportunity to continue in a Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period of up to 4 years (5 years after study enrollment), or until marketing authorization is obtained in the participant's country, whichever comes first.

  • Evaluation of Oral Tofacitinib in Children Aged 2 to 17 Years Old Suffering From Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis

    open to eligible people ages 2-17

    This study, A3921210 is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of tofacitinib in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC. In the US and EU, patients with prior TNFi failure or intolerance will be enrolled. Outside of the US or EU, patients having had inadequate response or intolerance to oral or IV corticosteroids or azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine or TNFi will be enrolled. All eligible participants will initially receive open label tofacitinib at a dose expected to produce equivalent systemic exposure to that observed in adults receiving 5 mg BID with the option for individual dose increase to 10 mg BID adult dose equivalent if dose escalation criteria are met. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tofacitinib based on remission in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC. The primary endpoint is remission by central read Mayo score following 44 weeks in the maintenance phase. Remission is defined by a Mayo score of 2 points or lower, with no individual subscore exceeding 1 point and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. The study Design is an open-label Phase 3 study that includes a screening period of up to 4-weeks duration, an 8-week or 16-week induction phase, a 44-week maintenance phase, and a 24-month extension phase for pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC. Participants will have a follow-up visit 4 weeks after the last dose of study intervention and a telephone contact 8 weeks later to assess for any adverse events (AEs)/serious adverse events (SAEs). The total maximum duration of this study will be up to 180 weeks.

  • A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Induction Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The objectives of Sub-Study 1 are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of risankizumab as induction treatment in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), and to identify the appropriate induction dose of risankizumab for further evaluation in Sub-Study 2. The objective of Sub-Study 2 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active UC.

  • A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab in Participants With Ulcerative Colitis

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of risankizumab in participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) in participants who responded to induction treatment with risankizumab in a prior AbbVie study of risankizumab in UC. This study consists of three sub-studies: Substudy 1 is a 52-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance study; Substudy 2 is 52-week, randomized, exploratory maintenance study; and Substudy 3 is an open-label long-term extension study for participants who completed Substudy 1 or 2, or participants who responded to induction treatment in Study M16-067 with no final endoscopy due to the Covid-19 pandemic or due to the geopolitical conflict in Ukraine and surrounding impacted regions.

  • Study for Participants With Ulcerative Colitis Previously Enrolled in Etrolizumab Phase II/III Studies

    This two-part, part 1: open-label extension (OLE) and part 2: safety monitoring (SM) study will examine the efficacy and safety of continued etrolizumab treatment in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) participants previously enrolled in etrolizumab Phase II/III studies. Participants with moderate to severe UC who were enrolled in the Phase II OLE study (GA27927 [NCT01461317]) or the Phase III studies (GA28948 [NCT02163759], GA28949 [NCT02171429], GA28950 [NCT02100696], GA29102 [NCT02165215], and GA29103 [NCT02136069]) were included. Participants from the Phase II OLE study or the Phase III studies who are not eligible or willing to receive etrolizumab in the OLE-SM study, and who have completed the 12-week safety follow-up period will be enrolled in Part 2.
