Duvakitug to induce remission in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
Official title: A Multicenter, Multinational, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3, Induction Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Duvakitug in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis.
Run by Sanofi · NCT07184996 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This 12-week treatment will test whether duvakitug helps adults (and some older teens) with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis get into remission and feel better.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–80 (and some 16–17 year olds where allowed) with a confirmed history of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis for at least 3 months who have had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to conventional or advanced therapies are the intended candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with Crohn's disease, indeterminate colitis, ulcerative proctitis, recent major bowel surgery, prior high-grade GI dysplasia, prior anti-TL1A investigational therapy exposure, unstable background treatments, or those taking prohibited medications are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 induction program testing duvakitug in people with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Participants may enter a 12-week pivotal induction (duvakitug or placebo), a single-arm open-label feeder induction, and a 12-week extended induction for non-responders, with total participation lasting up to 35 weeks including screening and follow-up. Efficacy and safety will be measured by clinical response and adverse event monitoring across multiple international sites, with Sanofi as the lead sponsor and Teva as a collaborator. Participants who respond may be eligible to continue into a maintenance study, while others will complete a 45-day follow-up.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, duvakitug could help more patients achieve clinical remission and reduce symptoms, providing a new option for those who have not benefited from existing therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Early-phase work on anti‑TL1A approaches has shown promising signals, but definitive benefit and safety must be confirmed in Phase 3 randomized trials like this one.
