NCT ID NCT06346288
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how much of the drug risankizumab (Skyrizi) passes into the breast milk of women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ten breastfeeding mothers who were already taking the drug provided milk samples over several weeks. The goal is to understand potential exposure to nursing infants and help guide safe breastfeeding recommendations.
