Humira shows promise for Long-Term control of Kids' colitis
NCT ID NCT02632175
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at the long-term safety and effectiveness of adalimumab (Humira) in 59 children with ulcerative colitis who had already completed a previous trial. The children received injections every other week or weekly. Researchers tracked side effects and how well the drug controlled disease symptoms using standard scoring tools. The goal was to see if adalimumab remains safe and effective over an extended period.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- adalimumab (Humira)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that adalimumab is a safe long-term option to control ulcerative colitis in children, reducing flare-ups and improving daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, open-label study (no placebo) with only 59 children, so results may not apply to all patients. Long-term use of adalimumab carries risks like serious infections and allergic reactions.
