Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Ulcerative Colitis
Registration Number
NCT03705117
Lead Sponsor
VHsquared Ltd.
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to confirm that V565 enters inflamed tissue, binds to TNF and reduces inflammation after oral dosing to patients with IBD.

Detailed Description

Single-site, open-label study in up to 6 patients treated for up to 7 days with sigmoidoscopy and biopsies before and after treatment period to determine biological activity.
