This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, clinical activity, and pharmacodynamic effects of R-3750 in adults with active Crohn's disease. Approximately 40 participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive R-3750 or matching placebo orally once daily for 12 weeks. Participants will be followed for safety, clinical response, and durability of response through approximately Day 168. Assessments will include adverse events, Crohn's disease activity, endoscopic response, patient-reported outcomes, inflammatory biomarkers, microbiome composition, and pharmacodynamic measures.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, clinical activity, and pharmacodynamic effects of R-3750 in adults with active Crohn's disease.

Approximately 40 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either R-3750 at a dose of 9E10 colony-forming units (CFU) per day or matching placebo administered orally once daily for 12 weeks. Participants, investigators, study site personnel involved in outcome assessments, and Sponsor personnel involved in study conduct and assessment will remain blinded to treatment assignment.

Eligible participants will be adults 18 to 80 years of age with active Crohn's disease, defined by a Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) score of 5 to 15 and objective evidence of active inflammatory disease based on C-reactive protein (CRP), fecal calprotectin, biopsy-verified inflammation, and/or endoscopic assessment.

The study consists of a screening period, a 12-week treatment period from Day 1 through Day 84, and a safety follow-up period through approximately Day 168.

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated through the assessment of adverse events and serious adverse events, clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, and physical examinations. Clinical activity will be evaluated using measures including the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and HBI. Additional assessments will evaluate clinical remission, endoscopic response, patient-reported outcomes, inflammatory biomarkers, microbiome composition, immune phenotypes, metabolomic profiles, and other pharmacodynamic measures.

An independent Medical Monitor will review available safety data on an ongoing basis, and a Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will review cumulative safety data during the study.

Stable doses of aminosalicylates, budesonide, or low-dose systemic are permitted if stable for at least 2 weeks prior to Day 1 and expected to remain stable during the treatment period. Low-dose systemic corticosteroids are defined as prednisone ≤20 mg/day or equivalent.
  • Use of probiotics or live biotherapeutic products within 2 weeks prior to Day 1.
  • Severe comorbidities, including uncontrolled diabetes, clinically significant cardiopulmonary failure, severe liver disease, severe renal disease, or other clinically significant condition that would place the subject at risk or confound study interpretation.

  • Any significant disease, disorder, laboratory abnormality, or circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the subject at risk, affect study results, or interfere with study participation.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(13)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Dec 2028, 25 months later.

Of 33 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Crohn Disease, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 28. This study's planned 25 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 61 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 41.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 28, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
