Ulcerative Colitis Clinical Study - MK-7240-001
The primary objective of this Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Clinical Study is to study the efficacy and safety of Tulisokibart (MK-7240) in adults with moderate-to-severe active UC compared to a placebo.
People may qualify to take part in this study if they are 18-75 years old and:
Have had UC for at least 3 months and currently have moderate-to-severe active UC
Have at least 1 of the below:
Have not responded well or stopped responding to at least 1 UC treatment
Have not tolerated your dose of corticosteroids being reduced (such as prednisone, budesonide, or beclomethasone)
Have not been able to tolerate taking at least 1 UC treatment
Do not have Crohn’s disease or another type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
If you are eligible for this clinical study, you:
Will receive the study medicine or placebo (a placebo may look like the study medicine, but has no active ingredients) and study-related medical exams at no cost. You do not need to have health insurance to participate.
May be paid back for travel-related study costs, such as bus fare or gas for driving to and from the study site.
Please note, if the trial drug works and your Crohn’s disease gets better, you may receive a health benefit (this means it may help you).
If the trial drug does not work, or if you get the placebo, you may not receive a health benefit.
Ask your doctor if you may be eligible for this study.
