55 / 94 trials open to patients25 countries

In short

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the digestive tract. Currently, there are 69 clinical trials investigating various treatments for this condition, including biological therapies, stem cell treatments, and new medications. These studies are taking place across multiple European countries and aim to improve treatment options for patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease.

Clinical trial locations

Summary

There are currently 69 clinical trials investigating treatments for Crohn's disease across Europe. These studies are examining a wide range of therapeutic approaches, from biological medications to innovative cell-based therapies.

The geographic distribution shows that trials are concentrated primarily in Western and Central European countries. Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands are hosting the largest number of studies. Poland and Italy also have significant trial activity, while countries such as Spain, Hungary, and the Czech Republic participate in multiple studies. This distribution reflects both the research infrastructure available in these countries and the prevalence of Crohn's disease in Europe.

The majority of trials focus on biological therapies, particularly monoclonal antibodies targeting specific inflammatory pathways. Several medications appear frequently across the trials, including vedolizumab, risankizumab, ustekinumab, adalimumab, and infliximab. Many studies are investigating new drugs such as guselkumab, ozanimod, tulisokibart, and various experimental compounds in early-phase trials.

Several trials are specifically designed for pediatric patients, recognising the importance of finding effective treatments for children with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. Studies are also investigating optimal dosing strategies, including comparison of intravenous versus subcutaneous administration routes.

Innovative approaches being tested include fecal microbiota transplantation, stem cell therapies using adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal cells, and novel small molecule inhibitors. Some trials focus on specific complications of Crohn's disease, such as intestinal strictures and perianal fistulas.

The trials employ various study designs, including placebo-controlled trials, active comparator trials, and long-term extension studies to evaluate safety and sustained efficacy. Many studies aim to achieve clinical remission without corticosteroids, which represents an important goal in Crohn's disease management.

These ongoing clinical trials demonstrate the active research effort to develop more effective and better-tolerated treatments for patients with Crohn's disease across all age groups.
