Can a new drug calm the Gut's overactive immune response in Crohn's?
NCT ID NCT07753850
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether an investigational drug called SL-325 can help adults with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. The study will compare SL-325 against a placebo to see if it reduces gut inflammation and improves symptoms. Participants will receive the treatment intravenously over a period of about a year, with follow-up monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SL-325, an investigational drug given intravenously
- What this could lead to
- If successful, SL-325 could offer a new treatment option to reduce gut inflammation and improve symptoms in people with Crohn's disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not work as hoped or may cause side effects. Results from this study will need confirmation in larger trials.
