About This Trial

This research study is testing an investigational research product called TRX103 as a possible treatment for individuals suffering from Crohn's Disease (CD). The primary purpose of this study is to learn how safe and effective different doses of TRX103 are when administered to individuals with CD.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Crohns Disease, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

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.

With a target enrollment of 39 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Prior therapies may be inclusive of any combination of the following: - TNF-alpha inhibitors - IL-12/23 inhibitors - Anti-integrins - JAK inhibitors Failure of therapies are defined as either non-response (primary failure), complete loss of response (secondary failure) or intolerant to therapy at a dose indicated for CD. - Primary failure is defined as: - When a subject does not achieve a response after having received the induction doses of a CD approved drug per prescribing information. Induction period is defined as 12-weeks. - A response is defined as CDAI score that reduces by ≥ 100-point from Baseline or by Physician assessment. - Secondary failure, or relapse defined as: - Subjects who respond to the therapy or achieves remission after an induction regimen per prescribing information, but subsequently lose response or relapses during maintenance treatment. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
