MARVEL

The MARVEL study investigates whether MitoQ is a beneficial drug treatment for Ulcerative Colitis.  In the study, individuals with an active flare of UC requiring standard oral steroids will be given either MitoQ or placebo as a daily tablet for 24 weeks.  Currently, many drug treatments are very strong, expensive and aimed at suppressing the immune system. If MARVEL study provides supportive data, MitoQ can be a safe and cost-effective new treatment that works at blocking the specific inflammatory signal found in the gut lining of individuals with Ulcerative Colitis
