According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT04173273) tested a medicine called etrasimod, given at two different doses (2 mg and 3 mg), compared to a placebo (a dummy treatment with no active ingredient). The trial was conducted across several sub-studies, involving different groups of participants at different stages — an initial treatment period, an extended treatment period, and a longer-term maintenance phase. In total, across all sub-studies and groups, several hundred participants took part. The largest single sub-study (SS1) began with 100 people on placebo, 98 on etrasimod 2 mg, and 97 on etrasimod 3 mg during the induction (initial) period. A smaller sub-study (SSA) started with 1 person on placebo, 42 on etrasimod 2 mg, and 41 on etrasimod 3 mg. Additional groups continued into extended and maintenance phases, with numbers ranging from small groups of around 12–47 participants depending on the sub-study. The reported data shows that in the main induction period (SS1), 87 of the 100 placebo participants, 89 of the 98 on etrasimod 2 mg, and 81 of the 97 on etrasimod 3 mg completed that phase. In the smaller SSA sub-study, 1 of 1 placebo, 32 of 42 on etrasimod 2 mg, and 36 of 41 on etrasimod 3 mg completed the induction period. In the longer-term maintenance phase (SS3), the reported data shows that of those who had responded to treatment and continued, completion numbers varied by group — for example, 29 of 38 completed in one etrasimod 2 mg group, and 17 of 28 in one etrasimod 3 mg group. The reported data shows that outcome measure numbers for the primary and secondary endpoints themselves were not included in the structured data provided, and therefore those specific results cannot be described here.

Other options

Expanded access pathways

This trial is not enrolling. Other access pathways exist in general: in Australia, the TGA Special Access Scheme allows access to unapproved therapeutic goods for individual patients. Whether it applies to any treatment studied here is a question for your doctor — nothing on this page says it does.
