Trial overview
The available trial data describe one study of Mbf-118 in people with Crohn’s disease and stenosis, which means narrowing of the bowel.[1] The study was designed to assess initial antifibrotic efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic information.[1]
This was an interventional trial, meaning participants received the study treatment so researchers could observe its effects.[1] The brief summary says Mbf-118 was studied on top of standard of care for 28 days, with follow-up to Day 56.[1]
Who was studied
The trial focused on participants with Crohn’s disease.[1] More specifically, it included patients with stenosis, which is a narrowing that can happen in the bowel and may make symptoms harder to manage.[1]
The study enrolled 10 participants, so this was a small early-stage trial.[1] The study took place at a single centre, meaning one research site was used.[1]
Study design and phase
This was a Phase 2 study.[1] Phase 2 trials usually look for early signs that a treatment may help, while still paying close attention to safety.[1]
The study was open label, which means everyone in the study knew the treatment being given.[1] It was also single-centre, so the research was carried out in one place rather than at multiple sites.[1]
The intervention listed in the trial record was Mbf-118 at 80 mg taken orally.[1] The trial record does not provide more detailed dosing schedules beyond this description.[1]
What was measured
The main endpoint, or main result the study wanted to measure, was safety and tolerability over 28 days from baseline to the end of follow-up at Day 56.[1] Tolerability means how well participants can take the treatment without major problems.[1]
Researchers looked at the number and severity of adverse events, which are unwanted medical problems that happen during a study.[1] They also checked for clinically significant changes in vital signs, physical examination findings, laboratory measurements, and ECGs.[1]
The study also aimed to assess the initial antifibrotic efficacy of Mbf-118.[1] Antifibrotic means related to reducing fibrosis, or scarring and thickening of tissue.[1] In addition, the trial planned to collect pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data.[1]
Study status and enrollment
The trial status is Completed.[1] That means the planned study activities have finished and the data collection period is over.[1]
Only 10 participants were enrolled, which suggests this was a small early study meant to gather initial information rather than final proof of benefit.[1]
What these trial terms mean for patients
Stenosis is important because narrowing of the bowel can affect how food and fluid move through the digestive system.[1] Trials in this group often focus on whether a treatment is safe and whether it may help with the narrowing process.[1]
Vital signs are basic body measurements such as pulse and blood pressure, and they help researchers see if a treatment is causing changes in the body.[1] Laboratory measurements are blood or other test results, while an ECG is a heart test that records electrical activity.[1]
Pharmacokinetic data show how the body handles a treatment, and pharmacodynamic data show what the treatment does in the body.[1] In this study, those data were collected as part of the early research picture for Mbf-118.[1]
