Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (typically 18–80 years; some sites may enroll 16–17 year-olds with Tanner Stage 5) with confirmed moderately to severely active Crohn's disease for at least 3 months who have had inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to conventional or advanced therapies are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis, prior exposure to anti-TL1A investigational therapy, certain missing bowel segments, prior high-grade GI dysplasia, unstable conventional therapy, or those taking prohibited medications are unlikely to be eligible or receive benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 induction program tests duvakitug in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease across three sub-studies: a single-arm open-label feeder induction, a pivotal randomized induction, and an extended induction for non-responders. Each sub-study involves up to 12 weeks of treatment within an overall study duration up to 35 weeks that includes screening and follow-up, and participants may continue into a separate maintenance study. Eligible participants are generally adults aged 18–80 (some sites may permit 16–17 year-olds with mature development) with at least 3 months of active disease and prior inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to conventional or advanced therapies. Participants are randomized to receive duvakitug or placebo and are monitored for clinical response and safety, with key exclusions such as prior anti-TL1A investigational therapy and certain gastrointestinal conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, duvakitug could offer a new induction option that brings symptom relief or remission for patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who have not benefited from other treatments.
How similar studies have gone: Early-phase studies of anti-TL1A approaches and other biologic agents have shown promising signals of symptom improvement in Crohn's disease, though large Phase 3 confirmation is still needed.
