A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Confirm Efficacy and Safety of MH002 and to Assess the Effect of Dose in Patients With Mild-to- Moderate Ulcerative Colitis Insufficiently Controlled With 5-Aminosalicylic Acid

Summary

The main goal of the study is to check if MH002 works and is safe to use. In a previous study in 45 patients with Ulcerative Colitis, MH002 was found to have favorable effects. In this study, 2 different doses will be tested, and long-term treatment effects will be investigated. MH002 is a live biotherapeutic product (LBP). This is a biological medicine containing live bacteria used to restore the normal function of a gut that is damaged by ulcerative colitis (UC). Ulcerative colitis is a bowel disease that causes inflammation and sores in the gut.
