New drug shows promise for healing Crohn's fistulas
NCT ID NCT05347095
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called guselkumab in people with Crohn's disease who have abnormal tunnels (fistulas) near the anus. The goal is to see if the drug can close these fistulas and prevent new ones, using MRI scans to confirm healing. About 288 adults who have not responded to other treatments will receive either guselkumab or a placebo, and their progress will be tracked for up to 48 weeks.
