Why This Matters

This Phase 2a trial tested a new investigational drug, tulisokibart, in people with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease who have not done well on prior therapies — so patients and clinicians watching new treatment options will find it relevant.

Who Should Pay Attention

Adults with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease, patients with prior biologic or immunosuppressant treatment failure or intolerance, gastroenterologists, and IBD researchers.

What To Know

This was a Phase 2, open-label induction study with a 12-week induction period of IV tulisokibart (1000 mg at Week 0, then 500 mg at Weeks 2, 6, and 10).

Eligible participants could enter an open-label extension (up to 170 weeks) randomized to IV 100 mg or 250 mg every 4 weeks, with investigator-directed titration from 100 mg to 250 mg if disease control was inadequate.

The study’s primary safety outcomes include treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and adverse events leading to discontinuation. A key efficacy outcome listed is endoscopic improvement at Week 12 (SES-CD ≥ 50% decrease from baseline).
