\n PHOENIX<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Oct. 27, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced Week 28 results from the Phase 2b<\/span> ANTHEM-UC study of icotrokinra, a first-in-class investigational targeted oral peptide that precisely blocks the IL-23 receptor, in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). These results underscore the potential of icotrokinra to deliver a combination of therapeutic benefit and a favorable safety profile with once-daily oral dosing and will be featured among Johnson & Johnson’s 23 accepted abstracts at the 2025 American College of Gastroenterology Annual Scientific Meeting (ACG).\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The ANTHEM-UC results show that targeting the IL-23 pathway with a once-daily oral therapy can provide meaningful, sustained benefit and a favorable safety profile, giving healthcare providers a potential new approach to managing this challenging disease,” said Vipul Jairath<\/span>, MBChB, DPhil, Professor of Medicine at Western University<\/span> in Ontario<\/span>, and study investigator.e<\/sup>\u00a0“For those living with ulcerative colitis, icotrokinra could represent an important step forward in how their disease is managed.”<\/p>\n

Similar proportions of participants reported adverse events and serious adverse events through Week 28 across all icotrokinra dose groups and the placebo group.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

“These exciting results show how we are harnessing our deep understanding of the IL-23 pathway to advance innovative treatments for inflammatory bowel disease that address the daily needs of patients,” said Esi Lamous\u00e9-Smith, M.D., Ph.D., Vice President, Gastroenterology Disease Area Lead, Immunology, Johnson & Johnson. “With Phase 3 development now underway in both adult and adolescent patients, our aim is to establish icotrokinra as a promising therapy that could transform the treatment paradigm in ulcerative colitis and bring patients a potential new option.”<\/p>\n

Based on results from the Phase 2b<\/span> ANTHEM-UC study, Johnson & Johnson has initiated the ICONIC-UC Phase 3 protocol in adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active UC as well as the ICONIC-CD Phase 2b<\/span>\/3 protocol in adults with moderate to severely active Crohn’s disease. Icotrokinra is also being studied in the pivotal Phase 3 ICONIC program in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and the ICONIC-PSA 1 and ICONIC-PSA 2 studies in active psoriatic arthritis. A New Drug Application (NDA) was submitted<\/a>\u00a0to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2025<\/span> seeking the first approval of icotrokinra for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.<\/p>\n

\n Editor’s notes:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

a.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=2 points, with either a >=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1.
b.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clinical remission\u00a0was defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.
c.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Endoscopic improvement was defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.
d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI)\u00a0was defined as histologic remission (absence of neutrophils from the mucosa in both lamina propria and epithelium, no crypt destruction, and no erosions, ulcerations, or granulation tissue according to the Geboes grading system) and endoscopic improvement (MES of 0 or 1).

\n About ANTHEM-UC
<\/b>ANTHEM-UC (NCT06049017<\/a>)\u00a0is a Phase 2b<\/span> multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113, JNJ-2113) in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who had an inadequate response or intolerance to conventional therapy (e.g., thiopurines or corticosteroids), prior biologics (TNF antagonists or vedolizumab) and\/or ozanimod or approved JAK inhibitors.\u00a0The study is evaluating three once-daily dosages of icotrokinra taken orally. Participants who complete the Week 28 assessments and have achieved clinical response at Week 28 and who, in the opinion of the investigator, will continue to benefit from treatment with study intervention will continue in the 48-week long term extension (LTE) period and receive the same treatment up to Week 76.3<\/sup><\/p>\n

\n About Ulcerative Colitis<\/b>
\n
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of the large intestine, also known as the colon, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce pus and mucus. It is the result of the immune system’s overactive response. Symptoms vary but may typically include loose and more urgent bowel movements, rectal bleeding or bloody stool, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue.4<\/sup><\/p>\n

\n About Icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113, JNJ-2113)<\/b>
\n
Investigational icotrokinra is the first targeted oral peptide designed to precisely block the IL-23 receptor,5<\/sup> which underpins the inflammatory response in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, ulcerative colitis and offers potential in other IL-23-mediated diseases.6<\/sup>,7 <\/sup>Icotrokinra binds to the IL-23 receptor with single-digit picomolar affinity and demonstrated potent, precise inhibition of IL-23 signalling in human T cells.8<\/sup>\u00a0The license and collaboration agreement established between Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. and Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, in 2017 enabled the companies to work together to discover and develop next-generation compounds that ultimately led to icotrokinra.9<\/sup>\u00a0Icotrokinra was jointly discovered and is being developed pursuant to the license and collaboration agreement between Protagonist and\u00a0Johnson & Johnson.\u00a0Johnson & Johnson\u00a0retains exclusive worldwide rights to develop icotrokinra in Phase 2 clinical trials and beyond, and to commercialize compounds derived from the research conducted pursuant to the agreement against a broad range of indications.10<\/sup>,11,12<\/sup><\/p>\n

Icotrokinra is being studied in the Phase 3 ICONIC clinical development program in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease.<\/p>\n
