What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests the effectiveness of the drug TEV-48574 for individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study examines two different dosing plans to determine which is most effective and safe when administered every four weeks. Participants should have already shown some improvement or require another round of treatment after a previous related study. Those struggling with UC or CD who have not found relief with current treatments may find this trial suitable. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to contact the study investigator for more details.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research shows that TEV-48574, a treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), holds promise for safety. Studies have found that patients generally tolerate this medication well. TEV-48574 targets a protein called TL1A, which causes inflammation. This method appears effective and safe.

Specifically, research suggests that TEV-48574 is safe for initial treatment in adults with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, two types of IBD. Previous studies with positive outcomes support the medication's safety. Patients mostly experienced mild to moderate side effects, which were manageable.

Overall, studies have shown that TEV-48574 is well-tolerated, and its safety profile is encouraging for those considering joining clinical trials. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about TEV-48574 for inflammatory bowel disease because it offers a potentially novel approach to treating both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Unlike most current treatments like anti-TNF medications or corticosteroids, which broadly suppress the immune system, TEV-48574 is administered via subcutaneous infusion and may target specific pathways involved in inflammation. This targeted approach could lead to fewer side effects while effectively managing symptoms. The ability to tailor treatment through different dosing regimens for UC and CD further distinguishes TEV-48574 from existing therapies.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for inflammatory bowel disease?

Research has shown that TEV-48574 may help treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). In earlier studies, TEV-48574, which targets a protein called TL1A involved in inflammation, showed positive results. This trial will test different dose regimens of TEV-48574 for both UC and CD. Specifically, for UC, the treatment proved effective and well-tolerated, reducing inflammation and symptoms without significant side effects. For CD, more patients who took TEV-48574 went into remission compared to those on a placebo. The data also indicate that the treatment safely and effectively targets the intended protein. These findings are promising for managing IBD. ^{1 3 5 6 7}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease who showed improvement in a previous 14-week study. Women must not be pregnant, should test negative for pregnancy, and use effective birth control. Men with partners of childbearing potential must use condoms.

Inclusion Criteria

Re-induction- Participants who did not achieve clinical response and/or clinical remission at week 14 of the TV48574-IMM-20036 DRF study

I showed improvement or remission at week 14 of my previous study.

Exclusion Criteria

Participant is currently pregnant or lactating or is planning to become pregnant or to lactate during the study or for at least 50 days after administration of the last dose of IMP in case of early termination. Any woman becoming pregnant during the study will be withdrawn from the study

Participant has any concomitant conditions or treatments that could interfere with study conduct, influence the interpretation of study observations/results, or put the participant at increased risk during the study as judged by the investigator and/or the clinical study physician

I expect to need major surgery during the study.

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a clinical trial involving 36 patients with active ulcerative colitis, the anti-TNF antibody AVX-470 demonstrated significant reductions in inflammatory biomarkers, including over a 10-fold decrease in TNF levels after 4 weeks of treatment at the highest dose (3.5g/day).

The presence of bovine immunoglobulin in colon tissue confirmed the local activity of AVX-470, supporting its mechanism of action in targeting inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
