Filgotinib, an oral JAK inhibitor, met only one of four primary endpoints in a phase III Crohn's disease trial, possibly due to study design issues. Clinical remission was achieved by more patients previously treated with biologics, but endoscopic response was not met. Maintenance phase showed better results, with clinical and endoscopic remission rates improving. Study limitations included early endoscopic assessment and high placebo response rates.

The SafeBoosC-III trial group includes medical professionals from various hospitals across Europe, Turkey, China, India, and the United States.
