Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 14 and older. Conditions: Ulcerative Colitis.

  • Known diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.
  • Evidence of active disease, defined as either 1) measured FCP >100 µg/g at screening, OR 2) Partial Mayo Scoring Index Assessment for UC ≥2 (adult patients) OR Pediatric UC Activity Index (PUCAI) ≥10 (pediatric patients).
  • Tanner stage ≥4 for pediatric patients.
  • Weight >40kg.

3 more inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Acacia Gum; Microcrystalline Cellulose; Placebo

Registered summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical effects of two different dietary fibre supplements, acacia gum (AG) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), in patients with ulcerative colitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the fibre supplements reduce gut inflammation (fecal calprotectin)? Researchers will compare AG and MCC to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no fibre) to see if the fibre supplements improve inflammation in ulcerative colitis. Participants will add their assigned fibre supplement or placebo to their usual diet daily for 6 weeks. The full summary is on the listing.
