Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis of at least three months' duration who have had inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to conventional or advanced UC therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of extensive colonic resection or planned colectomy, a diagnosis of Crohn's disease or indeterminate colitis, or prior treatment targeting TL1A or with failed IL-12/23-targeted therapy are unlikely to benefit or are excluded from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase 2, randomized interventional trial compares RO7837195 with placebo during a 12-week induction period in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to prior therapies. The overall program includes up to a 5-week screening period, a 12-week placebo-controlled induction, and a 40-week active treatment extension during which all participants receive the study drug, followed by a safety follow-up after the last dose. Key outcomes include clinical efficacy measures, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiling of RO7837195. Participants are enrolled at several U.S. gastroenterology centers and must meet disease activity and prior-treatment failure criteria to qualify.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective, RO7837195 could offer a new treatment option to induce remission and reduce inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis who have not responded to existing therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Other biologic and small-molecule agents targeting inflammatory pathways have shown benefit in similar refractory UC populations, but TL1A-targeted approaches like RO7837195 are relatively new and have limited published clinical data to date.
