Trial overview
These studies are investigating Sar442970 in adults with three different diseases: ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and hidradenitis suppurativa.[1][2][3]
All three are Phase 2 interventional trials, which means the treatment is being tested in people to learn more about whether it may help and how safe it is in the study setting.[1][2][3]
The studies compare Sar442970 with a placebo, which is a look-alike treatment with no active study drug.[1][2][3]
Ulcerative colitis study
The ulcerative colitis trial is titled as a study to investigate the efficacy and safety of brivekimig in adult participants with ulcerative colitis, and the intervention listed is Sar442970.[1]
This study is authorised, is in Phase 2, and plans to enroll 165 participants.[1]
The brief summary says the study is assessing different dose regimens of brivekimig to induce clinical remission in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.[1]
The main endpoint is the proportion of participants who achieve clinical remission at Week 16 by mMS, which is a study score based on symptoms and endoscopy findings.[1]
In this study, clinical remission means an mMS score of 0 to 2, with specific limits for stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and endoscopic appearance, and the result must be confirmed by a central reader.[1]
Crohn’s disease study
The Crohn’s disease trial is titled as a study to investigate efficacy and safety of brivekimig in participants with Crohn’s disease, and the intervention listed is Sar442970.[2]
This study is also authorised, is in Phase 2, and plans to enroll 99 participants.[2]
The brief summary says the study is testing different doses of brivekimig on endoscopic response at the end of the induction period.[2]
The main endpoint is the percentage of participants who achieve endoscopic response at Week 16, based on central reading.[2]
Endoscopic response means the score on SES-CD drops by more than 50% from the start, or by at least 2 points in some participants with isolated ileal disease and a higher starting score.[2]
Hidradenitis suppurativa study
The hidradenitis suppurativa trial is a Phase 2 study testing Sar442970 in adults with this skin disease.[3]
This study is completed and planned to enroll 84 participants.[3]
The brief summary says the study evaluated Sar442970 during the double-blind, placebo-controlled period in the biologic and small molecule immunosuppressive-naïve subgroup of participants with hidradenitis suppurativa.[3]
The main endpoint is the percentage of biologic and small molecule immunosuppressive-naïve participants who achieve HiSCR50, a clinical response measure used in hidradenitis suppurativa research.[3]
Biologic and small molecule immunosuppressive-naïve means participants had not previously used those types of immune-targeting treatments in the study subgroup description.[3]
Main endpoints and what they mean
Each trial uses a different main endpoint, which is the main result the researchers want to measure.[1][2][3]
- Clinical remission in ulcerative colitis means the disease signs are low enough to meet the study’s score-based definition at Week 16.[1]
- Endoscopic response in Crohn’s disease means the inside of the bowel looks better on camera-based scoring at Week 16.[2]
- HiSCR50 in hidradenitis suppurativa means the participant reaches a defined level of clinical improvement.[3]
The ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease studies both measure results at Week 16, which is the end of the induction period described in the trial summaries.[1][2]
Participants, status, and study design
These trials are designed for adults with the listed conditions.[1][2][3]
All three studies are interventional, meaning the researchers give a study treatment or placebo and then measure outcomes.[1][2][3]
The ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease studies are currently authorised, while the hidradenitis suppurativa study is completed.[1][2][3]
The listed enrollment numbers are 165 for ulcerative colitis, 99 for Crohn’s disease, and 84 for hidradenitis suppurativa.[1][2][3]
In the source data, the ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease studies use the name brivekimig in the titles and summaries, while the intervention is listed as Sar442970.[1][2]
