Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with moderately to severely active UC (mMS-defined) who have adequate contraception if applicable and have not responded to at least one prior UC therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not respond to afimkibart induction or who experience adverse effects may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase 3 interventional trial compares subcutaneous afimkibart to placebo in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Eligible participants have failed or intolerated at least one standard UC therapy and meet weight and screening criteria. The study aims to determine efficacy and safety during induction, with ongoing monitoring for adverse events. The trial is led by Hoffmann-La Roche with collaborators and is conducted at Gastro One in Cordova, Tennessee. Participants will be randomized to receive afimkibart or placebo and will be evaluated for changes in disease activity and safety outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved UC symptoms and disease control during induction therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of similar biologic or targeted therapies in UC have shown promising reductions in disease activity, though results can vary by agent and population.
