NCT ID NCT07071519

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 3 study tests the drug risankizumab in about 120 children aged 2 to 18 with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. The trial has three parts: an initial 12-week IV treatment period, a 52-week maintenance phase where patients get one of two doses by injection, and a long-term extension.
