Clinical Trial Summary

Curcumin (Cur), an active ingredient of the Indian herb Rhizoma Curcuma Longa, has been extensively studied in the context of inflammatory diseases. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy in reducing chemically induced colitis in animal models and in humans. Berberine is a phytochemical derived from plants such as coptis chinensis, goldenseal and scutellaria. These herbal remedies have been used in both Chinese and European medicine for centuries to treat digestive inflammation and infectious diseases. Therefore the investigator see a possible dual mechanism of curcumin-Berberine (Coptis) treatment in SUDD patients through both direct anti-inflammatory action and modulation of intestinal microbiome. This data provides basis for investigating an integrative approach to optimize and offer treatment to patients suffering from post AD SUDD. The investigator speculate that using a combined gut-directed formulation of curcumin-Berberine could benefit this subgroup of patients and improve their clinical symptoms.


Clinical Trial Description

The objective of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of gut-directed enteric-coated curcumin-Berberine (Coptis) combination therapy to induce remission in patients suffering from post AD SUDD. Methods: This will be a two-stage study: Stage 1 will comprise an open label single arm exploratory study of 10 patients suffering from post AD SUDD investigating oral Cur-Berberine (Coptis) therapy for induction of clinical response. Stage 2: If clinical response is achieved in ≥ 3 patients and no significant safety signals will emerge, the investigator will proceed to a prospective pilot randomized placebo-controlled study. ;
