ULCERATIVE COLITIS
The NLRP3 inflammasome drives release of pro‐inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)‐1β and IL‐18 and is a potential target for ulcerative colitis (UC). Selnoflast (RO7486967) is an orally active, potent, selective and reversible small molecule NLRP3 inhibitor. We conducted a randomized, placebo‐controlled Phase 1b study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of selnoflast.
