AIM:To test the efficacy and safety of Profermin(R) in inducing remission in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC).METHODS:The study included 39 patients with mild to moderate UC defined as a Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) > 4 and < 12 (median:7.5),who were treated open-label with Profermin(R) twice daily for 24 wk.Daily SCCAI was reported observer blinded via the Internet.RESULTS:In an intention to treat (ITT) analysis,the mean reduction in SCCAI score was 56.5%.Of the 39 patients,24 (62%) reached the primary endpoint,which was proportion of patients with ≮ 50% reduction in SCCAI.Our secondary endpoint,the proportion of patients in remission defined as SCCAI ≤ 2.5,was in ITT analysis reached in 18 of the 39 patients (46%).In a repeated-measure regression analysis,the estimated mean reduction in score was 5.0 points (95% CI:4.1-5.9,P < 0.001) and the estimated mean time taken to obtain half the reduction in score was 28 d (95% CI:26-30).There were no serious adverse events (AEs) or withdrawals due to AEs.Profermin(R)was generally well tolerated.CONCLUSION:Profermin(R) is safe and may be effective in inducing remission of active UC.
