Double-blind, Double-dummy, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Multi-centre Phase III Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Tolerability of Budesonide Capsules vs. Mesalazine Granules vs. Placebo for Patients With Collagenous Colitis.

Detailed Description

This study will check the reproducibility of the results reported in trials with budesonide in patients with collagenous colitis. Efficacy of mesalazine was never tested in collagenous colitis by placebo-controlled trials. This trial will check the superiority of mesalazine over placebo using the common clinical symptom of collagenous colitis, which is chronic or recurrent non-bloody, watery diarrhea.
