Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
This Phase 2 trial is testing a new oral drug (ATH-063) for adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have not responded to prior biologic or advanced therapies, a group that often needs additional treatment options.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adults with treatment-refractory UC, clinicians treating UC, and researchers interested in new oral therapies for inflammatory bowel disease.
Study Snapshot
What To Know
This trial randomizes participants to ATH-063 150 mg once daily or matching placebo for a 12-week double-blind period, with an open-label extension offered afterward. The primary outcome is clinical remission at Week 12 measured by a specified UC disease severity score (UCDSS) including centrally read endoscopy.
Eligibility targets adults (18–75) with endoscopy- and histology-confirmed moderately to severely active UC who have failed 1–2 prior biologic/advanced therapies (one must have been an anti-TNF). The study includes screening labs and contraception requirements typical for Phase 2 interventional trials.
