About this trial
This Phase 1B open-label, uncontrolled multicenter trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of WPMDE2, a whey protein milk-derived exosome supplement, in adult patients with mild to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). The study aims to explore clinical improvements in disease activity, quality of life, and inflammatory markers over an 8-week intervention period with a 2-week follow-up. WPMDE2 is administered orally in two dosage groups, with 100 participants stratified by disease severity. Key endpoints include changes in disease severity, fecal calprotectin levels, and patient-reported outcomes. Conducted under ethical guidelines, the study seeks to establish WPMDE2 as a safe, naturally derived adjunct therapy for UC patients.
