Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial is testing a new oral medication called etrasimod for adults with severe Crohn's disease who haven't had success with other treatments. The medication aims to reduce gut inflammation by calming the immune system. The study will last several years and includes different stages to determine the best dosage and long-term effects. Etrasimod is also being tested for ulcerative colitis and may avoid issues that can lead to treatment failure with other therapies.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-80 with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease, who haven't responded well to or can't tolerate steroids, immunosuppressants, or biologics. They must be able to follow the study plan and use contraception if they can have children.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Etrasimod, an oral medication for Crohn's Disease. It compares Etrasimod against a placebo over several years to check its effectiveness and safety in those not helped by standard treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of Etrasimod include headache, nausea, respiratory infections, high blood pressure, and potential impacts on liver function. The exact side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.

Other Research
Common treatments for Crohn's Disease include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, biologics, and newer agents like Etrasimod. Corticosteroids reduce inflammation by suppressing the immune response, providing rapid relief of symptoms.
Immunosuppressants such as thiopurines and methotrexate inhibit the proliferation of immune cells, helping to maintain remission. Biologics, including anti-TNF agents, target specific molecules involved in the inflammatory process, offering targeted therapy for moderate to severe cases.
Etrasimod, a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, works by preventing lymphocytes from migrating to the gut, thereby reducing inflammation. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for Crohn's Disease patients as it helps tailor treatment plans to effectively manage symptoms and maintain long-term remission.
