New hope for Crohn's patients when first drug fails
NCT ID NCT07487480
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a drug called guselkumab can help people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who did not improve or could not tolerate another drug called ustekinumab. About 60 adults will receive guselkumab and be followed for 52 weeks. The main goal is to see how many achieve remission (fewer symptoms) by the end of the study.
