Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

"As of right now, there is one ongoing clinical trial for Cobitolimod 250 mg that is in Phase 3. The primary research site is in Soeul, Florida, but there are 25 different locations conducting this trial."

Answered by AI

Have there been similar clinical trials to this one in the past?

"Cobitolimod 250 mg has been studied since early 2021 when InDex Pharmaceuticals ran an initial 440-person clinical trial. After the successful completion of Phase 3 drug approval, there is now a single active study being sponsored by the same company."

Answered by AI

Has Cobitolimod 250 mg met the FDA's requirements for safety and efficacy?

"There is some data to suggest that Cobitolimod 250mg is effective and multiple rounds of testing have shown that it is safe, so it received a score of 3."

Answered by AI

What is the main reason for conducting this research?

"The key metric that this study will use to measure success is the number of participants in clinical remission after approximately 6 weeks. Additionally, the study will also track participants' IBDQ total score (as defined by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire) and faecal calprotectin levels."

Answered by AI

Is there space for more volunteers in this research project?
