About this trial

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, sequential cohort, ascending dose clinical trial to evaluate the safety and determine the efficacy of ascending doses of DB-3Q for the treatment of Perianal Fistulizing Crohn's Disease.

Failed at least one medical therapy within the last year including, but not limited to, antibiotics, immunomodulators (6-MP, methotrexate, azathioprine), monoclonal antibodies (adalimumab, certolizumab, golimumab, guselkumab, infliximab, risankizumab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab), or small molecule inhibitors (tofacitinib, upadacitinib)

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Combined Remission

Clinically confirmed 100% closure of all treated external openings, without development of new fistulas or abscesses and drainage \> 1 cm by the external openings, occurring spontaneously or after gentle finger compression; and on blinded central review of the MRI results, combined imaging endpoint of \>50% reduction in MAGNIFI-CD score and \>20% increase in perianal fistula fibrosis-to-fluid ratio.

Time frame
24 Weeks
