Standardized treatments are types of treatments agreed upon and used by many qualified doctors. The medications being used in this study are considered "standard of care". Currently the ways in which these medicines are used (doses, frequency of dosing) may vary from site to site. This study will determine response to a standardized way of giving these medicines.\n\nThis study will also identify biomarkers for ulcerative colitis. Biomarkers are things that doctors can find in blood, stool, or bowel tissue that indicate how much inflammation there is in the bowel, how the inflammation is produced, and whether the inflammation is responding to treatment. Collecting response and remission (free of symptoms) information on these standardized treatments and the "biomarkers" can possibly help doctors create a model, or plan to know which children with UC may respond quickly, or which children may develop complications.', 'detailedDescription': "Ulcerative Colitis (UC) denotes a phenotype of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where inflammation is localized to the colonic mucosa, and extends from the rectum proximally in varying extents. The disorder is thought to result from an inappropriate activation of the mucosal immune system by antigens derived from both the host epithelium and the enteric flora, in genetically susceptible individuals. UC is strikingly heterogeneous with respect to age of onset, anatomical extent and disease course, with some experiencing chronically active severe disease, while others have intermittent periods of clinical remission and disease exacerbation. Patients' therapeutic responses vary. The reasons underlying such variability are not well understood. Although it has been widely hypothesized that several genes may influence the development of UC, and modify its phenotypic expression and severity, to date there are few confirmed examples of such relationships.\n\nIt has been postulated that the 5-aminosalicylate drugs exert their anti-inflammatory effect locally at the intestinal mucosa. Mechanisms likely include inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase resulting in decreased production of leukotriene B4, scavenging of reactive oxygen metabolites, prevention of up-regulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules, and inhibition of Interleukin 1 (IL-1) synthesis. Though multiple studies have shown the efficacy of aminosalicylates in inducing and maintaining remission in adults with UC, there are few data in children.\n\nCorticosteroids (CS) have been the mainstay of treatment of severe UC since efficacy was first demonstrated in the 1955 randomized controlled trial by Truelove and Witts. Recent practice guidelines developed in adults support their use because of rapid onset of action and significant efficacy though CS dependency is noted. Though no controlled data on their use have been reported in children they are frequently used in this population. A recent report from investigators leading the prospective Pediatric IBD Collaborative Research Group Registry described 97 subjects with a diagnosis of UC and a minimum of 1 year follow-up; 79% received CS. At diagnosis 81% of CS treated patients had moderate/severe disease, and 81% had pancolitis. Clinically inactive disease, determined by physician global assessment, was noted in 60% at 3 months following CS therapy, but by one year 45% were considered CS dependent despite the frequent use of immunomodulators (IM). Among those children with initially moderate to severe disease in clinical remission at 3 months, about two-thirds had stopped the CS by one year."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '17 Years', 'minimumAge': '4 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age ≥ 4years and ≤17 years at initiation of therapy (achieved 4th birthday, not yet 18th)\n* Weight ≥15 kg\n* New diagnosis of ulcerative colitis established by standard clinical, endoscopic, and histologic features at the PROTECT study site\n* Colitis extending beyond the rectosigmoid (Paris classification E2, E3, or E4)\\[144\\]. If a patient is seriously ill and the clinician does not advance the colonoscope beyond the sigmoid colon but the clinical condition of the patient highly suggests more extensive disease then that patient is eligible for study.\n* Disease activity by PUCAI of ≥10 at diagnosis\n* No therapy previously initiated to treat the newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis\n* Stool culture negative for routine enteric pathogens (Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, E. coli 0157:H7) and Clostridium difficile toxin. Recent successful treatment for Clostridium difficile does not exclude a patient if toxin now absent. However, the patient must be a minimum of 5 weeks from the time treatment was started at the time toxin is absent.\n* Stool study negative for enteric parasites (ova and parasites)\n* Parent/guardian consent and patient assent\n* Ability to remain in follow-up for a minimum of one year from diagnosis\n* Female patients of child bearing age must have a negative urine pregnancy test and practice acceptable contraception (e.g., abstinence, intramuscular or hormonal contraception, two barrier methods (e.g., condom, diaphragm, or spermicide), intrauterine device, verbal report of the partner with history of vasectomy, or be surgically sterile).

Use of inhaled CS does not exclude a patient.\n* History of use of IM or anti-TNFα agent for other medical conditions (e.g., juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) within the past 6 months\n* Use of Accutane within the past 4 weeks\n* Use of any investigational drug within the past four weeks\n* Use of any 5-aminosalicylate within the past 4 weeks\n* Pregnancy\n* Subjects with poorly controlled medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, congestive heart failure)\n* Proctitis or proctosigmoiditis only (Paris classification E1) on colonoscopic evaluation\n* Chronic renal disease (BUN and serum creatinine \\>1.5 times the upper normal limit)\n* Hepatic disease (AST or Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) greater than 3 times the upper normal limit in the absence of concomitant liver disease associated with IBD following full evaluation)\n* History of allergy or hypersensitivity to salicylates, aminosalicylates, or any component of the Pentasa capsule.\n* History of coexisting chronic illness or evidence of significant organic or psychiatric disease on medical history or physical examination, which, in the Investigator's opinion, would prevent participation in the study\n* History or presence of any condition causing malabsorption or an effect on gastrointestinal (GI) motility, or history of extensive small bowel resection (greater than half the length of the small intestine).\n* The finding of Helicobacter pylori at the time of evaluation does not exclude the patient from the study.
