This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study of DISC-0974 to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy in participants with IBD and anemia of inflammation.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Disc Medicine (IRON) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (53/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
