mirikizumab
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 2 clinical candidate for active CD- see NCT02891226.
Clinical Use: Mirikizumab (LY3074828) was advanced to Phase 3 evaluation in autoimmune conditions, including psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease. It was granted first approval in Japan in 2023, as an induction and maintenance treatment for ulcerative colitis [19]. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Mirikizumab (Antibody I) binds monkey IL-23 with a Kd of 0.056nM, and rabbit IL-23 with a Kd of 53nM, but does not bind rat or mouse IL-23 or human IL-12, IL-27 or IL-35 [2]. Antibody I blocks binding of IL-23 to the IL-23R in vitro, but does not inhibit IL-23 binding to IL-12Rβ1 (the other subunit of the functional IL-23R heterodimer). Effects of Antibody I in vivo are described in the associated patent documentation [2]. | View biological activity
natalizumab
Immuno Disease Comments: Approved drug for CD.
Clinical Use: Used in the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, and in the management of Crohn's disease. However, natalizumab is not widely prescribed due to safety concerns around induction of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: We have been unable to find affinity data for this antibody from an open access article. | View biological activity
fontolizumab 15,30
Immuno Disease Comments: Fontolizumab has completed Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease- see NCT00072943
Clinical Use: Fontolizumab (HuZAF) has completed Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (NCT00072943). Results showed that fontolizumab was well tolerated by these patients, and effected increased rates of clinical response and remission compared with placebo [15,30]. A Phase 2 trial in rheumatoid arthritis (NCT00281294) was terminated early because the first phase failed to meet the endpoint. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Fontolizumab neutralises the proinflammatory activity of IFNγ, as measured by antibody-mediated reduction in IFNγ-induced upregulation of MHC II expression by Hs294T melanoma cells [45]. | View biological activity
prednisolone
Immuno Disease Comments: Glucocorticoid drug used to treat many inflammatory condtions including CD.
Clinical Use: This drug used as an antiinflammatory or immunosuppressive agent and is indicated for the treatment of various inflammatory pathologies, including acute asthma, suppression of inflammatory and allergic disorders, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, systemic lupus erythematosus and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). | View clinical data
adalimumab
Immuno Disease Comments: Anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody therapy approved for Crohn's disease.
Clinical Use: Used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease and plaque psoriasis.
In 2015 both the EMA and the FDA approved the use of adalimumab as a treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic skin disease that causes abscesses and scarring on the skin.
In July 2016, the FDA expanded adalimumab approval as the first non-corticosteroid drug available for use as a treatment for non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis (forms of autoimmune-driven inflammation of the uvea)- results from Phase 3 clinical trial NCT01138657 are published in [16]. The EMA marketing authorisation for adalimumab Trudexa® was withdrawn at the request of the marketing authorisation holder. | View clinical data
infliximab
Immuno Disease Comments: Approved monoclonal antibody therapy for Crohn's disease.
Clinical Use: Used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (in combination with ), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis, Crohn's disease [44] and ulcerative colitis. A subcutaneous formulation is available for use as maintenance option for patients with Crohn's disease/ulcerative colitis following intravenously infliximab therapy. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Infliximab has been reported to induce an anti-chimeric antibody response in almost 15% of Crohn's disease patients (47 tested) [32]. This indicates that as predicited, humans can mount an immune response to whole murine variable domains, and is the underlying rationale promoting the development of clinical antibodies with variable domains with more human character (i.e. humanised or fully human monoclonal developments). | View biological activity
certolizumab pegol
Immuno Disease Comments: An anti-TNFα therapy approved for CD.
Clinical Use: Used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease [4]. May also have some effect in related conditions such as axial spondyloarthritis [36]. The EMA granted Europe-wide approval for the use of this drug in patients with RA (moderate to severe, active disease and severe, active and progressive disease), axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis in 2009. FDA approval was expanded to include treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, in June 2018. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Certolizumab pegol neutralises soluble TNFα in vitro, with an IC90 of 3ng/ml [28], neutralises the effects mediated by membrane bound TNFα, and inhibits production of IL-1β in monocytes stimulated with LPS. | View biological activity
azathioprine
Immuno Disease Comments: Approved drug for CD.
Clinical Use: Used to reduce organ rejection in transplant patients and to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, lupus erythematosus and ulcerative colitis. The EMA approved azathioprine to prevent graft rejection in July 2021. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Azathioprine is reported to inhibit peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PADI4), albeit with very low in vitro affinity [23]. PADI enzymes catalyze the hydrolytic deimination of protein arginine to produce protein citrulline and ammonia [18] and cause chromatin decondensation. Dysregulated PADI4 activity may be involved in cancer progression as it is overexpressed in many malignant tumours, where enhanced chromatin decondensation is involved in promoting pluripotency and stem cell maintenance. | View biological activity

Bioactivity Comments: The NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) record for AZD9056 provides bioactivity data as follows: The IC50 for AZD9056-induced inhibition of pro-inflammatory IL-1β and IL-18 release from human peripheral monocytes is 10-13nM. | View biological activity
filgotinib
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 2 clinical candidate for both perianal fistulizing (NCT03077412) and small bowel (NCT03046056) CD.
Clinical Use: Filgotinib was advanced to evaluation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Click here to link to ClinicalTrials.gov's complete listing of filgotinib studies. In October 2019 Gliead Sciences and Galapagos issued a press release which announced sustained efficacy, safety and tolerability of filgotinib from 12-52 weeks in RA patients in the Phase 3 FINCH1 (NCT02889796) & FINCH3 (NCT02886728) trials [12].

In August 2020, Gilead announed that the FDA had rejected their filing for approval of filgotinib in RA in a complete response letter, that expressed concerns about toxicity (on sperm concentrations) of the 200mg dose. The FDA want to review results from the ongoing MANTA and MANTA-RAy trials that are expected in the first half of 2021. However, late September 2020 saw EMA and Japanese PMDA approvals granted to filgotinib for the treatment of moderate to severe RA.
Publication of results from ulcerative colitis trials is pending, although positive indications (particulary in relation to response rates and safety) were presented at the United European Gastroenterology Week virtual meeting (October 11-13, 2020). | View clinical data
mongersen
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 3 clinical candidate for CD (see NCT02641392).
Clinical Use: A Phase 2 clinical trial detetcted promising efficacy in Crohn's disease, with higher rates of remission being reported in patients receiving mongersen compared to those in the placebo group [3,27]. However this did not convert to efficacy in Phase 3 evaluations [43]. Subsequently, the developer Clegene, terminated further development of this agent. | View clinical data
etrolizumab
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 3 clinical candidate for CD.
Clinical Use: Etrolizumab was progressed to Phase 3 clinical trials as a potential treatment for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) [46]. All four of the UC trials have completed (as of August 2020), with mixed and somewhat dissapointing results, although nothing has yet been published (see Fierce Biotech summary here). At this time etrolizumab trials in Crohn's are still proceeding. | View clinical data

As of May 2017, there are no active dectrekumab studies. | View clinical data
risankizumab
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 3 clinical candidate for CD (see NCT03105102).
Clinical Use: Results from the first-in-human proof-of-concept trial in patients with psoriasis were reported by Krueger et al. in 2015 [24]. Phase 3 trial results in psoriasis patients were published in 2018 [13]. FDA and EMA approvals were granted in 2019 and it is also approved in Japan and Canada. Risankizumab therapy is indicated for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy (Japan's authorisation additionally includes treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis). Investigations are ongoing in other autoinflammatory conditions. Click here to link to ClinicalTrials.gov's full list of risankizumab trials.

In May 2022, two studies reported results from phase 3 RCTs of risankizumab for Crohn's disease [5,8]. The NCT04524611 (SEQUENCE) study is directly comparing risankizumab and ustekinumab in participants with moderate to severe Crohn's disease and for whom anti-TNF therapy has failed. | View clinical data
vercirnon
Immuno Disease Comments: Failed to show clinical efficiency in Phase 3 trials.
Clinical Use: Three out of four Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating vercirnon (using research code GSK1605786A) in Crohn's disease were terminated due to lack of efficacy. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Vercirnon (CCX282-B) inhibits CCL25-directed chemotaxis of CCR9 expressing cells and markers of disease are normalised in a mouse Crohn's disease model treated with vercirnon [49]. | View biological activity
briakinumab
