Combination of Diet and Oral Budesonide for Ulcerative Colitis

Summary

The ReDUCE Trial is a multinational single-blinded randomized controlled trial in mild to moderate flare of Ulcerative colitis (UC) disease patients. The purpose of the study is to validate the clinical efficacy of the UCED (Ulcerative colitis Exclusion Diet) with partial enteral nutrition (PEN) using a novel formula. The investigators anticipate that adding a novel specifically designed dietary intervention in addition to drug will lead to superior remission and mucosal healing via changes in the microbiome.
