Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
A new pediatric Phase 3 trial of filgotinib could broaden approved treatment choices for children and teens with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, especially for those who have not responded to or cannot tolerate existing therapies.
Who Should Pay Attention
Pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, parents and caregivers of children with UC, pediatric gastroenterologists, and clinical researchers focused on IBD therapies.
Study Snapshot
What To Know
This ClinicalTrials.gov record describes a randomized interventional Phase 3 study enrolling about 80 pediatric subjects to assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of filgotinib for ulcerative colitis.
Eligible participants have moderate-to-severe UC and prior inadequate response or intolerance to corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or biologics; prior exposure to other JAK inhibitors is excluded. The record lists multiple European pediatric sites.
The study is recruiting and is sponsored by Alfasigma S.p.A.; the ClinicalTrials.gov entry provides full trial design details, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and site information.
Keep In Mind
This is a trial record (Phase 3, recruiting) describing planned research — it does not report study results. Filgotinib is in the JAK-inhibitor class; the entry excludes patients with prior exposure to JAK inhibitors. Consult clinical teams or the trial sponsor/registry for enrollment and up-to-date protocol details.
