About This Trial

This is a phase 2, multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SAR441566 in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease (CD). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of different doses of SAR441566 compared with placebo in participants with moderate to severe CD. This study will have an anticipated duration of up to 59 weeks which will include a screening period of 4 weeks (+7 calendar days if needed), followed by the Main Study (MS) treatment period, lasting 52 weeks, and a 2-week follow-up period after end of treatment for participants not enrolling in the Long Term Safety (LTS) study. The MS period includes a Double-Blind (DB) treatment period with 12 weeks of induction followed by 40 weeks of maintenance. Additionally, an Open Label (OL) period of up to 40 weeks will be offered to eligible participants. The combined duration of the DB maintenance and OL periods cannot exceed 40 weeks, depending on when participants switch.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Crohn's Disease and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 260 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Crohn's Disease subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.
