New hope for Crohn's patients: second-line drugs tested in real-world study

NCT ID NCT07073079

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

Summary

This study tracks 250 people with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease who are switching to either upadacitinib or risankizumab after a first treatment didn't work well enough. Researchers will see if these drugs help patients achieve remission without needing steroids over 18 months. The goal is to understand how well these approved drugs work in everyday medical practice.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

upadacitinib and risankizumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could show that switching to these drugs helps more people with Crohn's disease achieve remission without needing steroids.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It only follows people for 18 months, so long-term effects are unknown.
