Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if ulcerative colitis pediatric patients can maintain remission on a 1.6 mg vs. 2.4 mg weight-based dosing of mesalamine DR (Delzicol).
Specific Aims:
Using adult studies as a guide, we aim to compare two weight-based, parallel arms of 2.4 mg vs 1.6 mg in maintaining UC remission over 26 weeks using the modified Mayo Score and other Mayo score derivatives. Pediatric patients will be aged 5-17 and must have been on a stable dose of mesalamine or 5 ASA equivalent for 30 days prior to enrollment and must be in remission for 30 days. Dosing choices are taken from adult maintenance mesalamine dosing.
