Approvedregulatory verdict

Evidence outlook

Approved: Asthma, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis

Regulatory approval supersedes design-level evidence grading; the trials behind approval are preserved below as the drug's evidence history.

This drug's registrational program predates the public trial registry, so its Featured trials section is empty by necessity, not by omission.
