What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This clinical trial is testing an experimental oral medication called AC-101 in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The study aims to see if AC-101 can help achieve clinical remission—meaning fewer symptoms and healed intestinal lining—compared to a placebo. Participants will take either a high dose, low dose, or placebo tablet twice daily for 12 weeks, with an optional extension period. The trial is for people who have not responded well to prior treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AC-101 tablets (an experimental oral drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, AC-101 could offer a new oral treatment option for people with ulcerative colitis who haven't responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage (Phase 2b) trial, so the drug may not prove effective or safe. Results from this small study will need confirmation in larger trials.
