NCT ID NCT06450197
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called AZD7798 in 120 people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve the appearance of the gut lining. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors know which they get. The trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. 18 to 80 years of age. 2. Diagnosis of Crohn's disease established with verifiable clinical, AND at least one of imaging, endoscopic and/or histopathologic evidence. 3. Moderate to severe active Crohn's disease. 4. Ileal/ileocecal (L1), colonic (L2), or ileocolonic (L3) disease, as classified based on the localisation of active inflammation. 5. Capable of giving signed informed consent. 6. A history of at least one of: 1. Intolerance or inadequate response to conventional treatment (oral corticosteroid, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate), biologics, or other approved advanced therapy (eg, JAK inhibitors) OR 2. Corticosteroid dependency (defined as inability to taper below budesonide 6 mg/day or prednisolone 10 mg/day equivalent dosing without recurrent active disease) for the treatment of Crohn's disease. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Evidence, or clinical suspicion, of other forms of IBD or concomitant additional active gastrointestinal luminal inflammatory diseases. 2. Symptomatic strictures or bowel stenoses, or strictures preventing passage of endoscope throughout the colon (including at screening endoscopy). 3. Any complications of Crohn's disease where surgery is anticipated or planned prior to end of study treatment. 4. Evidence of extensive prior gastrointestinal surgical interventions. 5. Within 3 months prior to screening endoscopy visit: 1. History of toxic megacolon 2. Diagnosis of peritonitis or need for treatment of peritonitis 3. Bowel perforation or evidence of obstruction. 6. All intrabdominal abscesses are excluded. Cutaneous and perianal/perirectal abscesses and fistulae are excluded unless adequately drained at least 4 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit with no anticipation for surgery prior to end of study treatment. 7. Ongoing or expected nutritional dependency on total enteral or parenteral nutrition during study. 8. Evidence of an increased risk of colorectal cancer. 9. Symptomatic oral Crohn's disease within one year. 10. Any of the following treatments within the specified time period prior to screening endoscopy visit 1. An anti-TNF biologic within 8 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit 2. Any biologic targeting immune response other than an anti-TNF within 12 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit 3. Other advanced small molecule treatments for Crohn's disease within 4 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit 4. Cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, sirolimus (rapamycin), thalidomide, or tacrolimus (FK-506) within 4 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit 5. Treatment with apheresis within 4 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit 6. Administration of any live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit to end of study 7. Faecal microbiota transplantation within 4 weeks prior to screening endoscopy visit 8. Lymphocyte-depleting treatment within 12 months prior to screening endoscopy visit 9. Any previous exposure to AZD7798. 11. Any initiation or changes in dosing of the following medications prior to screening endoscopy visit as outlined: (a) 5-aminosalicylates within 2 weeks (b) Oral corticosteroids within 2 weeks or stable doses of steroids exceeding the following dose equivalents: (i) Systemic steroids \> 20 mg/day or prednisolone equivalent (ii) Steroids with limited systemic effects (eg, budesonide and beclomethasone), exceeding maximum budesonide dose equivalent (9 mg/day) (c) Immunomodulators within 4 weeks (d) Antibiotic therapy for the treatment of Crohn's disease (e) Probiotics within 2 weeks. 12. Chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. 13. Evidence of recent or currently active infection, including use of IV or oral antibiotics for documented infection within 30 days prior to screening endoscopy visit. 14. Evidence of chronic HBV or HCV. 15. History of TB (active or latent) unless an appropriate course of treatment has been completed. 16. Positive diagnostic TB test at screening. 17. History of serious opportunistic infection within 12 months prior to screening endoscopy visit. 18. CMV colitis within previous 12 months prior to screening endoscopy visit. 19. Positive C. difficile toxin stool test at screening. 20. Symptomatic herpes zoster infection within 3 months prior to screening endoscopy. 21. Any identified immunodeficiency. 22. Abnormal laboratory results at screening suggesting participation may be unsafe, which will prevent the patient from completing the study, or will interfere with the interpretation of the study results. 23. Reproduction: 1. Pregnant and breastfeeding patients, or those planning to breastfeed during the study 2. FOCBP unless completely abstinent or using a highly effective contraception and barrier method of contraception. 24. Prolonged QTcF interval. 25. Clinically significant cardiovascular conditions. 26.
