Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who have not adequately responded to previous treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with other forms of colitis or significant bowel complications may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters
