Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
This trial is testing a new investigational antibody (XmAb942) specifically in people with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have not responded to prior therapies. Early‑phase studies determine safety, dosing, and whether a drug shows enough effect to justify larger trials.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (especially those with prior inadequate response or intolerance to UC therapies); clinicians who treat IBD; researchers and patients interested in emerging biologic treatments.
Study Snapshot
What To Know
XmAb942 is being tested in a standard early-phase dose-escalation design for safety and dosing in healthy volunteers, followed by a Phase 2 induction/maintenance evaluation in people with moderately to severely active UC who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to prior UC therapies.
The UC part uses modified Mayo score and endoscopic assessment for key efficacy endpoints and includes a 12‑week induction period, a 40‑week maintenance period, and a 24‑week follow‑up. Eligibility excludes other colitis diagnoses and common infectious or immunocompromising conditions.
If you are considering participation, the registry record lists inclusion/exclusion criteria, dose routes (subcutaneous and IV in healthy-participant parts), and trial locations; contact the listed study sites or sponsor for up-to-date enrollment information and risks.
Keep In Mind
This is a registered Phase 1/2 study (recruiting) on ClinicalTrials.gov funded by Xencor, Inc.; as a trial record it describes planned study design and endpoints rather than reporting results. Participation involves standard trial screening and exclusion of other colitis causes; investigational status means safety and efficacy are not yet established.
