The purpose of this study is to determine whether aminosalicylic acid (ASA) can be safely withdrawn in patients with long-standing clinical inactive UC.
This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in which patients with long-standing clinically inactive UC receiving ASA for maintenance of remission will be randomized to either continue 5-ASA or to receive an equivalent placebo for 12 months. The primary endpoint is clinical relapse at 12 months.
