What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of oral icotrokinra in treating adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC, a chronic condition where the large intestine lining becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This Phase 3 clinical trial aims to compare icotrokinra with a placebo to better understand its impact on UC symptoms and remission rates. Participants will be divided into study groups receiving either icotrokinra or a placebo orally each day starting from Week 0 of the induction phase. After 12 weeks, responses will be assessed and participants who respond to icotrokinra or placebo enter a maintenance phase lasting up to Week 40. Adolescents receive open-label icotrokinra throughout the study, with an option for a long-term extension after completing the maintenance phase. During the trial, participants will undergo regular evaluations including clinical response, endoscopic assessments, and symptom monitoring at key points such as Weeks 12 and 40. Researchers will track remission rates, symptom improvements, quality of life, and safety outcomes. The study involves both double-blind and open-label phases and continues until January 2032, with close monitoring to understand how participants respond over time.
