Study 108: Three-Year Interim Analysis of Long-Term Obefazimod Treatment and Dose De-Escalation in Patients with Moderately to Severely Active UC
In this open-label maintenance ("OLM") trial, patients who had completed the four-year Phase 2a or two-year Phase 2b OLM trials, where they had received 50 mg of once-daily obefazimod, were given the opportunity to continue receiving obefazimod at a reduced dose of 25 mg daily for up to five additional years (provided they met the eligibility criteria of Mayo Endoscopic Subscore = 0 or 1). A total of 130 patients entered the trial and as of the January 5, 2026 cutoff date, 80% (104/130) were still enrolled and completed the full 144-week evaluation.
At study baseline, 89% (116/130) of patients were in clinical remission. At weeks 48, 96 and 144 of treatment, 73% (95/130), 69% (90/130), and 68% (88/130) of patients evaluated were in clinical remission, respectively. Clinical remission, inclusive of endoscopic subscore, was evaluated in the ITT population using non-responder imputation. Similar trends were observed with other efficacy analyses, and no new safety signals were observed.
