Gilead Sciences, in collaboration with Eisai Korea Inc., is conducting a Phase 4 clinical study titled A Multi-center, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase 4 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Filgotinib 200 mg in Korean Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis Under Routine Clinical Practice. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of filgotinib in achieving clinical remission in patients by Week 10 or 22, highlighting its potential significance in treating ulcerative colitis.

The intervention being tested is Filgotinib Maleate, an oral tablet administered at 200 mg per day. This drug is designed to help patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis achieve clinical remission.

The study follows an interventional design with a single-group model, meaning all participants receive the same treatment without any masking. The primary purpose is to evaluate the treatment’s effectiveness.

The study began on May 2, 2025, with the latest update submitted on August 20, 2025. These dates are crucial as they indicate the study’s progress and the timeline for potential results.

This update could influence Gilead Sciences’ stock performance positively if the results show significant efficacy, potentially boosting investor confidence. With competitors also exploring treatments for ulcerative colitis, positive outcomes could enhance Gilead’s competitive edge in the market.

The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
