Summary

This study tests whether mirikizumab, an injected drug that blocks IL-23, can reduce inflammatory strictures (narrowed areas) in the small bowel caused by Crohn's disease. About 60 adults with at least one stricture will receive the drug and be monitored with MRI and symptom scores. The goal is to see if the strictures shrink and symptoms improve.

Active substance
mirikizumab (Omvoh)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that mirikizumab helps shrink inflammatory strictures in Crohn's disease, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase, open-label study with no placebo group, so results may be less reliable. It is not designed to prove a cure, and not all patients may respond.
