NCT ID NCT06029972
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental oral drug called GS-5290 (tilpisertib fosmecarbil) in 176 adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms like diarrhea, bleeding, and inflammation better than placebo.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GS-5290 (tilpisertib fosmecarbil) tablets taken by mouth
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new oral treatment option for people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, helping control symptoms and reduce disease activity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 176 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals assigned male at birth, or nonpregnant, nonlactating individuals assigned female at birth, 18 to 75 years of age based on the date of the screening visit. * Ulcerative colitis (UC) of at least 90-day duration before randomization confirmed by endoscopy and histology at any time in the past AND a minimum disease extent of 15 cm from the anal verge. Documentation of endoscopy and histology consistent with the diagnosis of UC must be available in the source documents prior to the initiation of screening. * Moderately to severely active UC as determined during screening with a modified Mayo Clinic Score based on the sum of Stool Frequency, Rectal Bleeding, and Endoscopic Finding of 5 to 9 points and an endoscopic subscore of 2 to 3 (determined by central reader). * Previous treatment history of approved UC therapy with at least one advanced therapy mechanisms of action but failure (ie, loss of response or lack of response) of no more than 3 different advanced therapy mechanisms of action. * A surveillance colonoscopy for dysplasia is required prior to randomization if indicated by regional guidelines for individuals with UC. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Current diagnosis of Crohn's Disease (CD) or diagnosis of indeterminate colitis due to an enteric pathogen, lymphocytic or collagenous colitis. * Individuals with disease limited to the rectum (ulcerative proctitis) during screening endoscopy. * Requirement for ongoing therapy with or prior use of any prohibited medications. * Active clinically significant infection, or any infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with intravenous anti-infectives within 8 weeks. of randomization; or any infection requiring oral anti-infective therapy within 6 weeks of randomization. * History of opportunistic infection. * Current diagnosis of acute severe colitis, fulminant colitis, or toxic megacolon. Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
