Fenofibrate in Ulcerative Colitis

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Fibrates, which are specific pharmacological agonists of PPARα, have been widely used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Apart from their metabolic action, anti-inflammatory properties of fibrates have been described, including inhibition of NF-kappa B signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. 4 Fenofibrate, an important peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-a (PPAR- α) agonist, is widely used in clinical as a triglyceride (TG)-lowering agent.

Clinical Trial Description

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by diffused inflammation of the colon and rectum mucosa, however the exact underlying mechanisms of UC remain poorly understood. UC is strongly dependent on cellular immune reaction and exaggerated inflammatory response due to genetic, immune and environmental factors. PPARα has been proposed as a key lipid metabolism modulator and regulator of inflammation. There are three isotypes of PPAR (α, β and ȣ) which have distinct but overlapping functions. Fibrates, which are specific pharmacological agonists of PPARα, have been widely used in the treatment for hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Apart from their metabolic action, anti-inflammatory properties of fibrates have been described, including inhibition of NF-kappa B signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. 4 Fenofibrate, an important peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor-a (PPAR- α) agonist, is widely used in clinical as a triglyceride (TG)-lowering agent ;
