NCT ID NCT07697547

First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether combining two drugs—upadacitinib and ustekinumab—at lower doses can help people with Crohn's disease that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Participants are adults aged 18 to 65 who have already tried and failed other therapies. The goal is to see if the combination can bring the disease under control and reduce gut inflammation.
