Run by Sanofi · NCT06958536 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people diagnosed with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease for at least three months who have had inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to at least one standard or advanced therapy and are on stable background medication prior to screening.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis, certain unexcised colonic polyps or colonic mucosal dysplasia, those with conditions excluded by the protocol (such as short bowel syndrome), or those who do not meet the moderate-to-severe disease criteria are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a randomized, double-blind, phase 2b, three-arm trial comparing two doses of the experimental drug SAR442970 to placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. Participants must have had a diagnosis for at least three months and prior exposure with inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to at least one standard or advanced therapy; background standard treatments may be continued if stable. The randomized treatment period lasts up to 158 weeks, followed by eligibility for an open-label long-term extension of up to 104 weeks, for a total study duration of up to 168 weeks. The trial is sponsored by Sanofi and conducted at specified investigational sites in the United States.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, SAR442970 could provide a new treatment option that improves symptoms and disease control for people with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease who have limited benefit from current therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Other biologic and small-molecule therapies targeting inflammatory pathways have produced benefits in Crohn's disease, but SAR442970's safety and efficacy remain to be shown in this phase 2b program.
