Ventyx's VTX958 Shows Promising Endoscopic Response in Phase 2 Crohn's Disease Trial Despite Missing Primary Endpoint

• Phase 2 trial of VTX958, an oral TYK2 inhibitor, demonstrated significant endoscopic improvement in Crohn's disease patients, with up to 32.4% achieving endoscopic response at Week 12. • While the trial missed its primary CDAI endpoint due to high placebo response, VTX958 showed robust dose-dependent improvements in objective measures including endoscopic scores and inflammatory biomarkers. • The drug maintained a favorable safety profile, supporting its potential as a novel oral therapy option for Crohn's disease patients, with ongoing analysis of 52-week extension data to inform future development.
