What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 12
Percentage of participants in clinical remission at Week 12 was reported. Clinical remission is defined as a Mayo stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, a Mayo rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.
Measured: Week 12
Secondary outcomes (8)
Percentage of Participants in Symptomatic Remission at Week 12
Percentage of participants in symptomatic remission at Week 12 was reported. Symptomatic remission is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Improvement at Week 12
Percentage of participants with endoscopic improvement at Week 12 was reported. Endoscopic improvement is defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants in Clinical Response at Week 12
Percentage of participants in clinical response at Week 12 was reported. Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=2 points, with either a >=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The modified Mayo scores consisted of 3 subscores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding and endoscopic subscore, each subscore graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe) with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These individual subscores were summed up to give a total modified Mayo score range of 0 (normal) to 9 (severe disease), where higher scores indicated more severe disease activity.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Histologic-endoscopic Mucosal Improvement at Week 12
Percentage of participants with histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement at Week 12 was reported. Histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement is defined as achieving a combination of histologic improvement and endoscopic improvement. Histologic improvement is defined as neutrophil infiltration in less than (<) 5% of crypts, no crypt destruction, and no erosions, ulcerations or granulation tissue according to the Geboes grading system. Endoscopic improvement is defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 24
Percentage of participants in clinical remission at Week 24 was reported. Clinical remission is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.
Measured: Week 24
Percentage of Participants in Symptomatic Remission at Week 24
Percentage of participants in symptomatic remission at Week 24 was reported. Symptomatic remission is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity.
Measured: Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Improvement at Week 24
Percentage of participants with endoscopic improvement at Week 24 was reported. Endoscopic improvement is defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.
Measured: Week 24
Percentage of Participants in Clinical Response at Week 24
Percentage of participants in clinical response at Week 24 was reported. Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by >= 30% and >=2 points, with either a >=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The modified Mayo scores consisted of 3 subscores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding and endoscopic subscore, each subscore graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe) with higher scores indicating more severe disease.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 12
Time frame: Week 12
Percentage of participants in clinical remission at Week 12 was reported. Clinical remission is defined as a Mayo stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, a Mayo rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 236 sites in United States, Japan, China, Poland, Brazil and 20 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Dec 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05528510, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Nov 2026.
