Treatment of Microscopic Colitis

An interventional study of Budesonide and Bismuth in Colitis, sponsored by Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Terminated at 9 sites in Norway. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-01-21.

Registry
Colitis — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.

Why
  1. The study's title name Colitis, Microscopic, a narrower term within Colitis.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own title. Of 46 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 72% were exactly right and 89% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 4% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Inclusion criteria

  • Microscopic colitis verified with from the colon
  • Symptoms to such an extent that treatment is indicated
  • Age > 17 years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous treatment with any of the drugs
  • Patients treated with ketoconazole
  • Pregnant and breast-feeding females
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 21, 2015, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
