ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new medication called Upatinib to see how effective it is in treating active anal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease. An anal fistula is a painful condition that can occur in people with Crohn's disease, which is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition. The trial aims to gather more evidence about how well Upatinib works for this issue, especially since most previous studies have focused on Western populations and not enough on patients in China.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 70 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease with moderate to severe symptoms. You should also have an active anal fistula, confirmed by a doctor. However, some people may not qualify, such as those with a history of certain blood clots or severe infections. If you join the trial, you can expect to take Upatinib and be monitored by healthcare professionals to assess how well it works and if it's safe. This study is important because it could help improve treatment options for people in China dealing with this challenging condition.
