Who may be able to join

  • Adults aged 18 to 75 years, of any gender.
  • People who have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) for at least 12 weeks before the screening visit, confirmed by camera examination of the bowel (endoscopy) and tissue samples (biopsy).
  • People with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, shown by a specific disease activity score (CDAI between 220 and 450) and confirmed active inflammation in the small intestine and/or large bowel on a camera examination done during screening, meeting specific scoring thresholds set by the trial.
  • People who have not responded well to, lost response to, or could not tolerate one or more standard Crohn's disease treatments — such as steroids, certain immune-suppressing medicines, or advanced therapies including anti-TNF, anti-integrin, anti-IL-23, anti-IL-12/23, or JAK inhibitor medicines (note: not responding to 5-ASA alone does not meet this requirement).
  • People already taking certain Crohn's disease medicines at the time of screening may be eligible, provided those medicines have been at a stable dose for the required period before the screening endoscopy and remain stable during the study — this applies to oral 5-ASA (stable for at least 2 weeks), oral steroids at low doses (stable for at least 2 weeks), and oral immune-suppressing medicines such as azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate (stable for at least 4 weeks); people taking methotrexate are advised to also take folic acid unless there is a medical reason not to (confirm with trial site).
  • Female participants must meet one of the following conditions: have gone through menopause (no periods for at least 12 consecutive months with no other medical explanation); have had a permanent procedure that means they cannot become pregnant (such as removal of the uterus, both fallopian tubes, or both ovaries); or be of childbearing potential and agree, along with their non-sterilised male partner, to use highly effective contraception from the time of signing the consent form until at least 30 days after the last dose of the study treatment (women on hormone replacement therapy whose menopausal status is uncertain must use a highly effective non-oestrogen-containing hormonal contraceptive if they wish to continue HRT during the study — confirm with trial site).
  • Female participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding from the screening period until at least 30 days after the last dose (or longer if local regulations require), and must have no plans to become pregnant or donate eggs during this time.
  • Male participants who have not had a vasectomy and whose sexual partner could become pregnant must agree to use acceptable contraception from the first dose until at least 90 days after the last dose, and must have no plans to father a child or donate sperm during the study or for 90 days after the last dose.
  • People who are willing and able to attend all planned visits, follow the study plan, complete daily diaries, undergo endoscopy, provide laboratory samples, and follow all other study procedures, and who have signed the consent form voluntarily.

Who may not be able to join

Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.

  • People with a known allergy to any ingredient in the study drug or placebo.
  • People who have previously received a treatment that increases a substance called microRNA-124 (miR-124), such as a drug called ABX464.
  • People who have previously not responded to more than three advanced therapies for Crohn's disease, or who have not responded to two advanced therapies that work in different ways.
  • People who have taken certain immune-suppressing medicines (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, or thalidomide) within 4 weeks before the screening endoscopy.
  • People who have received biologic medicines (such as anti-TNF, anti-integrin, anti-IL-23, or anti-IL-12/23 treatments) within 8 weeks before the screening endoscopy, or within 5 half-lives of the drug — whichever is longer.
  • People who have ever previously received natalizumab or any other medicine in the same class (α4β1 integrin antagonists).
  • People who have taken small-molecule targeted medicines (such as upadacitinib) within 4 weeks before the screening endoscopy, or within 5 half-lives of the drug — whichever is longer.
  • People who have received high-dose intravenous (IV) steroids (such as methylprednisolone 60 mg/day or hydrocortisone 300 mg/day) within 2 weeks before the screening endoscopy.
  • People who stopped taking oral immune-suppressing medicines (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) within 4 weeks before the screening endoscopy, or who stopped oral 5-ASA or oral steroids within 2 weeks before the screening endoscopy.
  • People who have used rectal aminosalicylate or steroid preparations, enemas, or suppositories (other than those needed for the endoscopy procedure) within 2 weeks before the screening endoscopy.
  • People who have had total tube feeding (enteral nutrition), intravenous feeding (parenteral nutrition), or a faecal microbiota transplant within 4 weeks before the screening endoscopy.
  • People with known narrowing of the bowel causing symptoms, or where the endoscope cannot pass due to such narrowing.
  • People with evidence or clinical suspicion of another form of inflammatory bowel disease (such as ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis), or another active inflammatory bowel condition such as infectious colitis, ischemic colitis, radiation colitis, microscopic colitis, or uncontrolled coeliac disease.
  • People with an untreated active external fistula, perianal fistula, or abscess at screening (people with stable fistulas that have no abscess and minimal or no drainage may be considered; people who have had a skin or perianal abscess that was fully drained and treated at least 3 weeks before the screening colonoscopy — or at least 8 weeks for abscesses inside the abdomen — and who do not need further surgery may also be considered — confirm with trial site).
  • People with a current stoma (ostomy) or an internal bowel pouch (ileal pouch).
  • People who are missing more than two of the following five bowel sections: the end of the small intestine (terminal ileum), the right colon, the transverse colon, the left colon, and the sigmoid colon and rectum.
  • People who have had more than 100 cm of small bowel removed, or who have short bowel syndrome.
  • People who have had bowel resection surgery within 3 months before the start of the study (baseline).

  • People who have had an organ transplant and are still taking immune-suppressing medicines because of it.
  • People who have received a live vaccine within 3 months before being assigned to a treatment group, or who plan to receive a live vaccine during the study.
