Merck Reports Positive Phase 3 Results for Tulisokibart
Twelve weeks into a pivotal clinical trial, Merck & Co.’s experimental drug tulisokibart successfully induced clinical remission in patients suffering from moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. The Rahway-based pharmaceutical giant confirmed the study met both its primary objective and critical secondary endpoints for the autoimmune treatment.
Following these results, the company is accelerating its broader research program for the drug. Tulisokibart is currently undergoing evaluation across seven distinct disease indications, reflecting Merck’s strategy to leverage the compound’s mechanism of action beyond bowel inflammation.
