What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for Crohn's Disease, particularly biologics like Mirikizumab (IL-23 inhibitor), Ustekinumab (IL-12/23 inhibitor), and anti-TNF agents (e.g., Infliximab, Adalimumab), have several known side effects. These can include increased risk of infections, nasopharyngitis, and injection site reactions. Anti-TNF agents may also cause infusion reactions, lupus-like syndrome, and increased risk of certain cancers. Ustekinumab is generally well-tolerated but can cause infections and nasopharyngitis. Long-term safety data for Mirikizumab is still being studied, but it is expected to have a similar side effect profile to other IL-23 inhibitors.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several biologic agents for the treatment of Crohn's Disease. Anti-TNF agents such as infliximab, adalimumab, and certolizumab pegol are commonly used. Ustekinumab, an IL-12/23 inhibitor, is another option for patients who have failed other biologics. Vedolizumab, a gut-selective integrin inhibitor, is also approved for moderate to severe cases. These treatments aim to reduce inflammation and induce remission in patients with Crohn's Disease.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to Mirikizumab for Crohn's Disease patients include Ustekinumab (IL-12/23 inhibitor) and Brodalumab (IL-17 inhibitor). Ustekinumab has shown effectiveness in Crohn's Disease, and Brodalumab has been studied for its efficacy in Crohn's Disease, although primarily used for psoriasis.

Summary

This trial is testing mirikizumab to see if it can help people with Crohn's disease feel better over a long time and ensure it is safe. The drug works by reducing gut inflammation.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people who have Crohn's disease and completed previous studies (NCT02891226 or NCT03926130). Women must follow contraception rules. People with new risks like cancer, known allergies to mirikizumab, severe reactions in past trials, pregnancy, certain infections like hepatitis or HIV/AIDS can't join.

What is being tested?

The study tests the long-term effects and safety of a drug called Mirikizumab on individuals with Crohn's disease. It aims to see how well it works over an extended period following earlier trials.

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed here, participants will be monitored for any adverse reactions due to long-term use of Mirikizumab as part of assessing its safety profile.

Other Research

The most common treatments for Crohn's Disease include biologic therapies that target specific components of the immune system to reduce inflammation. Mirikizumab, an IL-23 inhibitor, works by blocking the action of interleukin-23, a cytokine involved in the inflammatory process of Crohn's Disease. This helps to reduce inflammation and maintain remission. Other common treatments include anti-TNF agents like infliximab and adalimumab, which inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), another key cytokine in inflammation, and integrin inhibitors like vedolizumab, which prevent immune cells from migrating to the gut. These treatments are crucial for Crohn's Disease patients as they help manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life by targeting the underlying inflammatory pathways.
