About this study
Official title: A Phase 2, Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized, Doubleblind, Placebocontrolled, Dose-ranging Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SAR441566 in Adults With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease.
This is a phase 2, multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SAR441566 in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease (CD). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of different doses of SAR441566 compared with placebo in participants with moderate to severe CD.
This study will have an anticipated duration of up to 59 weeks which will include a screening period of 4 weeks (+7 calendar days if needed), followed by the Main Study (MS) treatment period, lasting 52 weeks, and a 2-week follow-up period after end of treatment for participants not enrolling in the Long Term Safety (LTS) study. The MS period includes a Double-Blind (DB) treatment period with 12 weeks of induction followed by 40 weeks of maintenance.
Additionally, an Open Label (OL) period of up to 40 weeks will be offered to eligible participants. The combined duration of the DB maintenance and OL periods cannot exceed 40 weeks, depending on when participants switch.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response
Endoscopic response is defined as ≥50% reduction from baseline in centrally read Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD).
The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and narrowing, each on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 in 5 segments assessed during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum). The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and ranges from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Secondary outcomes (12)
Proportion of participants achieving clinical remission based on Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI)
CDAI clinical remission is defined as CDAI score <150. CDAI is a composite instrument that includes participant symptoms evaluated over 7 days (abdominal pain, stool frequency and general well-being), as well as presence of complications (arthritis/arthralgia, iritis/uveitis, erythema nodosum/pyoderma gangrenosum/aphthous stomatitis, anal fissure/fistula/abscess, other fistula, and fever), the use of antidiarrheal medicines, presence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight. These items are scored individually, weighted, and do not contribute equally to the overall score. The CDAI is derived from summing up the weighted individual scores of eight items. CDAI approximately ranges from 0 to 600 with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO-2) remission
PRO 2 remission is defined as the unweighted CDAI component of daily abdominal pain (AP) score ≤1, and the unweighted CDAI component of daily average stool frequency (SF) score ≤3 (ie, AP ≤1 and SF ≤3 and no worsening from baseline).
Measured: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving both clinical remission and endoscopic response
Clinical remission and endoscopic response based on CDAI <150 and ≥50% reduction from baseline in centrally read Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD)
Measured: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic remission based on centrally read SES-CD
Endoscopic remission is defined as a centrally read SES-CD ≤4 points (SES-CD ≤2 points for isolated ileal disease) and a SES-CD decrease from baseline ≥2 points with no SES-CD sub score >1 point
Measured: From Baseline to Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving CDAI clinical response
CDAI clinical response is defined as a CDAI reduction from baseline ≥100 points.
Measured: From Baseline to Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) remission
IBDQ remission is defined as IBDQ total score ≥170 points. The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) is used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. It consists of 32 questions evaluating bowel and systemic symptoms, as well as emotional and social functions. Each question is answered on a scale from 1 (worst) to 7 (best). The total score ranges from 32 to 224 with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life.
Measured: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving IBDQ response
IBDQ response defined as an improvement of IBDQ scores by 27 points or more at Week 12 compared with baseline
Measured: From baseline to Week 12
Change from baseline in the IBDQ scores
The total IBDQ score ranges from 32 to 224 which indicates better quality of life. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: From Baseline to week 12
Plasma pre-dose concentrations of SAR441566 at selected visits
Measured: Up to week 52
Plasma post-dose concentrations of SAR441566 at selected visits
Measured: Up to week 52
Number of participants experiencing any TEAEs
Any TEAEs, including any serious opportunistic infections, psoriasiform skin lesions or other immune mediated phenomena during double-blind (DB) induction and maintenance treatment period
Measured: Up to week 52
Number of participants experiencing any TEAEs
Any TEAEs, including any serious opportunistic infections, psoriasiform skin lesions or other immune mediated phenomena during open-label treatment period
Measured: From week 12 to week 52

The MS period includes a Double-Blind (DB) treatment period with 12 weeks of induction followed by 40 weeks of maintenance.
Additionally, an Open Label (OL) period of up to 40 weeks will be offered to eligible participants. The combined duration of the DB maintenance and OL periods cannot exceed 40 weeks, depending on when participants switch.

Primary outcome
Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response
Time frame: Week 12
Endoscopic response is defined as ≥50% reduction from baseline in centrally read Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD). The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and narrowing, each on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 in 5 segments assessed during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum). The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and ranges from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease.
12 secondary outcomes
Proportion of participants achieving clinical remission based on Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI)
Time frame: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO-2) remission
Time frame: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving both clinical remission and endoscopic response
Time frame: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic remission based on centrally read SES-CD

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 141 sites in United States, Japan, China, Hungary, India and 19 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Business decision.). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response (time frame: Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Oct 2026.
