New Crohn's drug shows promise in major trial
NCT ID NCT07577843
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a new medicine, JNJ-78934804, against an existing drug (guselkumab) in 460 people with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if the new drug can reduce symptoms and heal the gut lining better at 48 weeks. Participants must have had Crohn's for at least 12 weeks and have active disease. This is a long-term treatment, not a cure.
