Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of infliximab (Remicade) in patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a study designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a medication called infliximab (the active drug in (REMICADE®) in adult patients with active ulcerative colitis. The purpose of this study is to see if the symptoms of ulcerative colitis are lessened with this medication, infliximab, and what dose is needed to do that safely. Patients will receive infusions of either 5mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or placebo at weeks 0, 2, 6, and then once every 8 weeks thereafter through week 46 for up to 3 years.

Safety evaluations will be performed at specified intervals throughout the study and will consist of laboratory tests, vital signs (such as blood pressure), physical examinations and the occurrence and severity of adverse events as well as other study specific procedures. Patients will receive infusions of either 5mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or placebo at weeks 0, 2, 6, and then once every 8 weeks thereafter through week 46 for up to 3 years.
