Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
A new Phase 2 trial is testing SL-325 given IV for moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease with endoscopic response as the primary outcome. The study targets people who have not responded to or cannot tolerate several approved IBD therapies, so it could offer another option if later proven safe and effective.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease (including those with prior biologic or JAK treatment failure), IBD clinicians, and researchers following new drug trials.
Study Snapshot
What To Know
The trial (not yet recruiting) plans to enroll about 232 adults and includes induction, maintenance, and long-term extension periods. The primary endpoint is endoscopic response at 12 weeks defined as ≥50% decrease in SES-CD.
Key inclusion and exclusion criteria focus on endoscopically confirmed moderate-to-severe ileal/colonic disease and prior treatment failures; important exclusions include active abscess, symptomatic strictures not passable by colonoscopy, certain prior surgeries, active TB, and prior exposure to anti-DR3/anti-TL1A agents.
Keep In Mind
This is a trial-record summary from ClinicalTrials.gov (not yet recruiting) and does not provide efficacy or safety results. SL-325 is described in the registry as an investigational IV agent; the record excludes participants with active TB, certain surgical histories, or specific complications.
