Tests treatment safety and results for Crohn's Disease

Official title A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tulisokibart (MK-7240) in Participants With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease (MK-7240-008)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06430801

What this study is testing

What is IV Tulisokibart?

IV Tulisokibart is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for crohn's disease.

Also referred to as PRA023, MK-7240.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tulisokibart in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Study 1's primary hypotheses are that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or per stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 52 (US/FDA and EU/EMA), and that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or per stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 12 (US/FDA and EU/EMA).
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
