Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Crohn's disease, a chronic condition resulting in inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (GI), causes a person to experience persistent symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, and constipation, with infrequent bowel movements that are at times accompanied by a sensation of incomplete emptying after having a bowel movement. Tsumura's TU-100 is a modern herbal product that has been approved as a prescription drug in Japan. Several lines of evidence indicate that TU-100 attenuates intestinal inflammation in Crohn's disease by increasing intestinal blood flow and stimulating a protective lining of intestinal mucus which produces an anti-inflammatory effect. TU-100 may attenuate pathological changes in the intestine and reduce symptoms in patients with Crohn's disease.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
