Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Apr 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Carotegrast methyl, an oral α4-integrin inhibitor, was recently approved in Japan for the treatment of active ulcerative colitis (UC). However, real-world data regarding its efficacy and safety remain scarce. This study aimed to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety profile of carotegrast methyl in patients with active UC.
