A Phase 3 Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Tulisokibart in Participants With Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis

🟢 Recruiting Phase3 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Researchers want to learn more about tulisokibart (also known as MK-7240) in an extension study. Tulisokibart is a medicine designed to treat active, moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). An extension study is a type of study where people who received tulisokibart in certain other studies for CD or UC (called a parent study) may be able to join this study. The goals of this study are to learn about the safety of tulisokibart over time in people with CD or UC, and if people tolerate it.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (5 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (4 items).
