A Trial COmparing staNdard of Care Versus Treat to Target With telemonitoRing and Patient Education in Patients With Ulcerative cOlitis Initiating Adalimumab (CONTROL)

An Open-label Randomized Trial COmparing staNdard of Care Versus Treat to Target With telemonitoRing and Patient Education in Patients With Ulcerative cOlitis Initiating adaLimumab: The CONTROL Trial

PHASE: IV

DESCRIPTIVE: Randomized, interventional, open label multicenter trial

POPULATION: Moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

STUDY TREATMENTS: Patients will all receive Adalimumab 160/80/40mg EOW until V1 (W14) followed by 40mg EOW until V2 (W26) and could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) for two months and then could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) and azathioprine (2.0/2.5 mg/kg/ day) or methotrexate (25 mg EW) until V3 (W 38).

OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of a treat to target treatment follow up by e-Monitoring and fecal calprotectin dosing at home associated to an appropriate patient education versus standard treatment follow up at W48 in patients requiring a treatment with adalimumab (Humira®).

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Other
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Group Standard of care
In standard of care, patient only visits every 3 months the doctor so the optimization of treatment can be done only at this frequency.
Patients will all receive Adalimumab 160/80/40mg EOW until V1 (W14) followed by 40mg EOW until V2 (W26)
Active Comparator: Groupe T2T with telemonitoring and patient education
Treatment with e-Monitoring, home fecal calprotectin testing and therapy education.
Patients will all receive Adalimumab 160/80/40mg EOW until V1 (W14) followed by 40mg EOW until V2 (W26)
Fecal calprotectin dosing at home with IBDoc

e-Monitoring at Week 6, Week 10, Week 14, Week 18, Week 22, Week 26, Week 34, Week 38, Week 42 and Week 48

The patient must complete the first 2 questions of the Mayo score:

  • Stool frequency
  • The frequency of bleeding

He must also complete the information on his injections

Patient Education at W0, W2, W14, W26 and W38.
