Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Pharmacodynamic, Diagnosis, Pharmacokinetic

The main objectives are: (i) to identify candidate fibrotic cellular pathways in UC patients treated with a JAK inhibitor filgotinib), and (ii) to detect and monitor in vivo fibrosis in UC patients using FAPi-PET/CT imaging.

Secondary objectives 3

  1. Detection of in vivo intestinal fibrosis by means of measuring 68Ga-FAPi uptake, both visually as semi-quantitatively, in UC patients using FAPi-PET/CT imaging at baseline and 24 weeks after treatment initiation with filgotinib
  2. To determine to what extent 68Ga-FAPi bowel uptake in UC patients corresponds to (phospohorylated and total) STAT protein (i.e. down-stream JAK targets) and gene expression
  3. To determine to what extent 68Ga-FAPi bowel uptake in UC patients corresponds to clinical and endoscopic changes after 24 weeks of treatment with filgotinib

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 1

  1. In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: - Adults ≥18 years with confirmed diagnosis of ulcerative colitis - Active disease confirmed by endoscopy (endoscopic Mayo score ≥ 2) - Indication to start treatment with filgotinib AND one of the following: - Active disease confirmed by intestinal ultrasound (BWT > 3 mm in atleast one bowel segment and atleast one other pathological IUS parameter) or - Increased CRP (>5 mg/L) and/or fecal calprotectin levels (>250 mg/kg)

Exclusion criteria 1

  1. A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: - Pregnancy - Unable to provide informed consent - Colorectal carcinoma or high grade dysplasia

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Identified pathways obtained via pathway analysis (single-cell RNA sequencing). Changes in these identified pathways (in gene and protein expression at week 24 compared to week 0)

Secondary endpoints 3

  1. Binding of [68Ga]Ga-FAPi-46 will be measured using the standardized uptake value (SUV) and target to background ratios will aid in scoring and quantifying tracer uptake. Semi-quantitative uptake above local background will be corrected and uncorrected for tracer plasma concentration based on pharmacokinetic analysis. SUV quantified from the FAPi-PET/CT-scan participants will be compared to non-affected intestinal regions. FAPi PET uptake expressed as SUV. Percentage of SUV decrease at week 24.
  2. Changes in gene and protein expression levels expressed as percentages in mucosal biopsies at week 0 and at week 24 (increased/ decreased an to what degree this corresponds to the SUV.
  3. Changes in FAPi PET uptake and correlation to clinical (SCCAI score) and endoscopic (Mayo score) changes.
