Summary description of the study

Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are two forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a serious, long-term condition of the intestines that can cause pain and swelling (inflammation) in the gut. CD is a severe condition that can affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus and typically causes inflammation of the intestines. UC causes inflammation of the inner lining of certain parts of the intestines, such as the colon and the rectum. Zasocitinib, also known as TAK-279, is an orally administered medication that inhibits inflammation. This study is an extension of the parent studies, TAK-279-CD-2001 and TAK-279-UC-2001. This means that participants who responded to treatment with Zasocitinib in either of the two parent studies can continue to benefit from treatment in this study. The main objective is to determine how safe Zasocitinib is and to assess whether it reduces intestinal inflammation and symptoms with prolonged use.

Intervention under investigation

This is an open-label continuation study, meaning that participants are aware that they will be receiving Zasocitinib. Adults who have responded to treatment and completed week 52 in either of the two main studies can participate in this continuation study. Participants will receive Zasocitinib daily for up to 2 years (from week 0 to week 108). The maximum study duration for an individual participant is just over 2 years (112 weeks), which includes a 4-week safety follow-up period.
