Afimkibart for Children with Ulcerative Colitis

This study is testing a drug called Afimkibart (RO7790121) in children aged 2 to 17 years old who have moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The study aims to see how safe and effective Afimkibart is when given as an intravenous (IV) infusion or a subcutaneous (SC) injection. To join, children must weigh at least 10 kg, have a confirmed UC diagnosis, and have not responded well to other UC treatments. The main goals are to see what percentage of participants achieve clinical remission (a period where symptoms are reduced or absent) at 12 weeks and again at 52 weeks. The study plans to enroll 100 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
