Kids with gut or joint inflammation get long-term safety check on biologic drug guselkumab
NCT ID NCT06663332
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study is checking the long-term safety of guselkumab, a biologic drug given as a shot, in children with moderate to severe Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or juvenile psoriatic arthritis. About 196 kids who already completed a prior guselkumab study and benefited from it will continue treatment. The main goal is to track any side effects over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- guselkumab (a biologic drug given as a shot under the skin)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show that guselkumab is safe for long-term use in children with these inflammatory conditions, offering a treatment option to control disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study, so participants already benefited from guselkumab. It is open-label (no placebo), which can bias results. Long-term side effects are still being monitored.
