P046 Real-world data on the treatment with Mirikizumab in a mostly biological-experienced Ulcerative colitis cohort

Abstract

Abstract Background Mirikizumab was approved for treating Ulcerative colitis (UC) in May 2023. However, real-world data, especially in biological-experienced patients, is scarce. We aimed to determine the treatment efficacy and persistence of Mirikizumab in mostly treatment-experienced UC patients. Methods All patients treated for UC in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) outpatient clinic of the University Hospital Frankfurt from 07/23-11/23 were analyzed retrospectively. Data on clinical (Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI)) and biochemical disease activity (fecal calprotectin (FC)), as well as patient history, were collected. Patients were followed up for at least 12 weeks. Results Seventeen patients with UC were included. Sixteen patients had already received at least one biological agent before starting Mirikizumab. Twelve patients were exposed to ≥ 2 biological agents, and four patients to ≥ 4 biological agents before starting Mirikizumab. One patient received Mirikizumab as a first-line treatment. 4 patients were treated with Ustekinumab before the therapy with Mirikizumab. Nine patients received oral steroids as a concomitant treatment. The median SCCAI at the time of the first infusion/start of induction was 7. We report a reduction in clinical disease activity from 7 to 5 based on the preliminary data of the SCCAI. Biochemical disease activity was assessed with FC levels. The median FC level at the start of the induction was 557.5. At week 8, the median FC level was 513 based on 7 out of 17 patients reached week eight until November 2023. Intravenous induction therapy was extended in 2 of 17 patients. There was no report of adverse events. Conclusion We report preliminary real-world data on the evidence and efficacy of Mirikizumab. In our interim analysis, Mirikizumab is an effective and safe treatment in biological-experienced UC patients.
