MedDRA version: 14.1 Level: LLT Classification code 10045366 Term: Ulcerative colitis, unspecified System Organ Class: 100000004856
Therapeutic area: Diseases [C] - Digestive System Diseases [C06]
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Mezavant 1200 mg magensaftresistente Retardtabletten
Pharmaceutical Form: Gastro-resistant tablet
INN or Proposed INN: MESALAZINE
CAS Number: 89-57-6
Current Sponsor code: 5-ASA
Other descriptive name: 5-aminosalicylic acid
Concentration unit: mg milligram(s)
Concentration type: equal
Concentration number: 1200-

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): Increase of the immune reactivity score of membranous E-cadherin in the inflamed mucosa before and after 5-ASA treatment
Main Objective: To evaluate the changes in molecular pathways of cell adhesion
(cellular localization of E-cadherin and ß-catenin) in ulcerative colitis prior to and after treatment with mesalazine (5-ASA)
Secondary Objective: To examine the changes in related chemopreventive pathways
(Rac1/PAK-1, PI3K/Akt, ras/raf) in ulcerative colitis prior to and after treatment with mesalazine
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Prior to treatment and after 14 +/- 2 days of treatment
Secondary Outcome(s)
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Prior to treatment and after 14 +/- 2 days of treatment
Secondary end point(s): - Increase of the immune reactivity score of membranous E-cadherin in the normal
mucosa before and after 5-ASA treatment
- Change in the immune reactivity score of membranous ß-catenin in inflamed and
normal mucosa before and after 5-ASA treatment
- Changes in related chemopreventive pathways (Rac1/PAK-1, PI3K/Akt, ras/raf) prior to
and after treatment with 5-ASA
- Change in Mayo-Score (clinical and endoscopic ulcerative colitis activity score) from
baseline to study end
