Abstract
Introduction: The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) is a measure of health-related quality of life (QoL). This analysis evaluated effect of mirikizumab (miri) vs placebo (PBO) on IBDQ scores in patients (pts) with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who had failed prior conventional or biologic therapy in a Phase 3, double-blind, 12-week (W) induction study (LUCENT-1) followed by a 40W maintenance study (LUCENT-2) for a total of 52W continuous therapy. Methods: Pts (N=1162) in LUCENT-1 were randomized 3:1 to receive 300mg miri or PBO intravenously once every four weeks (Q4W). 544 pts who achieved Modified Mayo Score Clinical Response to miri by W12 of induction were rerandomized 2:1 in LUCENT-2 to subcutaneous miri 200mg or PBO Q4W in maintenance period. Randomization was stratified by previous biologic therapy failure, baseline corticosteroid use, and region. LUCENT-1 stratification included baseline (BL) disease activity, and LUCENT-2 included LUCENT-1 clinical remission status. The least squares mean change from BL in IBDQ scores at W12 of induction and W40 of maintenance was determined using analysis of covariance models. BL was W0 of therapy and stratification factors and BL scores were used as covariates. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) was defined as an improvement of ≥16 points in total IBDQ score (IBDQ response) and IBDQ remission as a total score ≥170 points. IBDQ response and remission were calculated using non-responder imputations. Treatments were compared using the common risk difference (risk diff). Results: Miri treatment resulted in significantly greater improvement from BL in IBDQ total and domain scores vs PBO at both W12 of induction and W40 of maintenance (52W treatment) (Table). The proportions of pts who achieved an IBDQ response was significantly greater for miri treated pts vs PBO at W12 (risk diff =17.1[95%CI:10.7, 23.5]) and W40 (29.5 [21.0, 37.9]). Significantly greater proportions of pts receiving miri achieved IBDQ remission at W12 (18.1 [11.8, 24.4]) and W40 (28.5 [20.1, 37.0]) vs PBO (all evaluations and timepoints: p< 0.001). Conclusion: Pts reported significantly greater improvements in IBDQ scores at induction and maintenance with miri compared to PBO. Over 75% of pts achieved a clinically meaningful improvement in QoL, as measured by IBDQ response, at the end of the 52 weeks of miri treatment.

The common risk difference was the stratification-adjusted difference in the proportion of participants receiving mirikizumab minus the proportion of participants receiving placebo.*p< 0.001.
