What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether people with ulcerative colitis (UC) who are in deep remission (no signs of inflammation) can safely reduce or stop their medication. Researchers will compare two groups: those who continue their current therapy and those who decrease or stop it. The goal is to see if remission can be maintained with less medication. About 200 adults aged 18-75 with UC for at least 3 years will participate.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 200 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Nov 2025

Expected to finish

Nov 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Consenting patients aged 18 to 75 years with an established diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) for at least 3 years. 2. Patients in deep remission, defined by the absence of endoscopic and histologic signs of active inflammation (i.e. histological normalization or histological quiescence) in all biopsies obtained during colonoscopy, within the last 12 months. * If the most recent colonoscopy is within the last 3 years and demonstrates normalized/quiescent pathology findings (i.e., patient is in stable remission), the patient would not be expected to undergo yearly colonoscopies. Therefore, a persistent normalized calprotectin test will be accepted as sufficient to define deep remission with no change in therapy. 3. Patients in clinical, biochemical (fecal calprotectin \<100), radiologic and endoscopic remission since the last colonoscopy. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any noted active inflammation \[clinical, sonographic, biochemical, endoscopic (in any colonic segment)\]. 2. Patients with any changes in therapy after colonoscopy showing histological normalization or quiescence. 3. Corticosteroid use after colonoscopy showing histologic normalization or quiescence. 4. Patients with any noted history of primary sclerosing cholangitis or invisible or unresected high-grade dysplasia (suspected or confirmed). 5. Pregnancy or actively trying to conceive 6. Inability to follow the proposed sample collection and monitoring protocol.
