NCT ID NCT07487311

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether combining guselkumab with JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib or tofacitinib) can help people with inflammatory bowel disease that hasn't improved with other treatments. About 80 participants will receive the drug combination and be monitored for 12 and 52 weeks to see if their symptoms and gut inflammation improve. The goal is to find a new option for those with limited choices.

Active substance

guselkumab and JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib or tofacitinib)

What this could lead to

If it works, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with inflammatory bowel disease that hasn't responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Combining two strong drugs also raises the risk of side effects like infections.
