OPUS-Pouch Study

Overview

This Phase 2 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CLF065 in the treatment of chronic pouchitis. The OPUS-Pouch Study is randomized and placebo-controlled, meaning some participants receive CLF065 while others receive a placebo.

This J-pouch surgery clinical trial is enrolling individuals who continue to experience pouchitis symptoms despite prior treatments and may benefit from a new investigational product.

Participants May Qualify If They Are:

  • 18 to 80 years old
  • Had ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), also known as J-pouch surgery at least 1 year ago
  • Had 3+ pouchitis episodes in the past year, or are taking long-term antibiotics
  • Able to stop antibiotics on Day 1 of the clinical trial
  • Willing to taper off steroids under supervision

What to Expect in the OPUS-Pouch Study

  • Weekly injections (CLF065 or placebo*) for 13 weeks
  • Two follow-up visits: Week 14 and Week 24
  • Lab tests, a bowel symptom diary, and regular safety monitoring
  • Dedicated support from the clinical trial team

*A placebo looks like the investigational product but doesn’t contain any active ingredients.

Benefits of Participation

  • May have access to an investigational product
  • Study-related care provided at no cost
  • Opportunity to support future chronic pouchitis research
  • Opportunity to help future patients with pouchitis
