Introduction: Mirikizumab (miri), a p19-directed IL-23 antibody, was efficacious in inducing clinical remission at Week (W)12 (LUCENT-1) and maintaining clinical remission at W52 (LUCENT-2) in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). We present results from the ongoing open-label LUCENT-3 study evaluating efficacy and safety of miri in patients who received extended induction therapy.
Methods: We investigated patients who at W12 of LUCENT-1 had not responded to initial induction with miri but then received extended induction treatment of 3 doses of 300 mg IV miri, and subsequently responded at W24 (LUCENT-2). These delayed responders entered LUCENT-3 at W40, receiving 200 mg miri Q4W SC. Following 104W of miri treatment, we report clinical response and remission, corticosteroid-free (CSF) remission, endoscopic remission, histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI) and histologic-endoscopic mucosal remission (HEMR), symptomatic remission, bowel urgency (BU) clinical meaningful improvement (CMI) and remission scores, and induction baseline biologic failure status. Week numbers are shown as cumulative, i.e., W12 of LUCENT-2 is defined as W24 overall. Discontinuations or missing data were handled using non-responder imputation. All data were summarized as descriptive. Biologic Failed was defined as prior inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to biologic therapy or tofacitinib; otherwise, patients were categorized as Not Biologic Failed. Safety data were assessed.
Results: Among delayed responders (N=81) with clinical response at W52, 67.9% were still in clinical response at W104. Remission rates were: 34.6% clinical, 32.1% CSF, 45.7% endoscopic, 33.3% HEMR, 63.0% symptomatic, and 45.7% BU. Patients achieving HEMI and BU CMI were 40.7% and 59.7%, respectively. Biologic Failed/Not Failed subgroup data were similar (Figure 1). Severe TEAEs were reported in 3.3% of patients (LUCENT-3 safety population, N=123); 4.9% had serious AEs, and 4.1% discontinued treatment due to an AE. Most common TEAEs (≥4%) were COVID-19 (13.8%), UC (13.0%), diarrhea, headache and pyrexia (both 4.9%), nasopharyngitis, and upper respiratory tract infections (both 4.1%). One reported death was unrelated to miri treatment.
Discussion: Extended induction of miri sustained efficacy and safety over 104 wks for patients with moderately to severely active UC and refractory to initial induction. There were no new safety concerns.
