About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TQH3906 in Adults With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease

This phase will commence following dose escalation in the 24mg bid group during Phase I. Employing a 1:1:1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study design, it will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) characteristics of TQH3906 capsules in subjects with moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis. The study will include a maximum 4-week screening period, a 12-week treatment period, and a 4-week post-treatment follow-up period, enrolling a total of 105 subjects. Among these, subjects who failed conventional therapy and those who failed biologic therapy each constitute 35% of the cohort.

    Measured: Day 1: within 1 hour pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post dose; within 1 hour pre-dose on Day 15, 29, 57, Day 57: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post dose

  4. Clinical Response Rate: UC: A decrease of ≥2 points and ≥30% from the baseline in the Mayo score

    UC: A decrease of ≥2 points and ≥30% from the baseline in the Mayo score, as well as a decrease of ≥1 point in the rectal bleeding score (RBS) from the baseline or an absolute RBS value of ≤1.

    Measured: Week 8

  5. Clinical Response Rate: Crohn's disease: A reduction of at least 100 points in the Crohn's disease activity index

    Crohn's disease: A reduction of at least 100 points in the Crohn's disease activity index from the baseline.

    Measured: Week 8

  6. Endoscopic Remission: UC: The endoscopy subscore in the Mayo score

    UC: The endoscopy subscore in the Mayo score is 0 or 1 point.

    Measured: Week 12

  7. Endoscopic Remission: CD: The Simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) score

    CD: The SES-CD score is ≤4 and has decreased by at least 2 points from the baseline, with no subscore of any individual variable being >1.

    Measured: Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 24mg bid TQH3906 capsule and 32mg TQH3906 capsule in people with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Nanjing Shunxin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 30 sites in China.

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 8 inclusion and 35 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in China. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiaowei Liu, Postdoctoral researcher (13548762632, liuxw@csu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse event rate (time frame: Baseline up to week 16). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 May 2026.
