Summary

This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of mirikizumab in 150 children and adolescents with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Participants who completed earlier mirikizumab studies can join. The trial lasts about 172 weeks and aims to see if the drug can keep the disease under control.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mirikizumab
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a long-term treatment option to control moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease in children and adolescents.
What could go wrong
This is an extension study, so participants already benefited from mirikizumab in prior trials. It is open-label (no placebo), which can bias results. Long-term safety and effectiveness are still being confirmed.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants from originating studies (I6T-MC-AMBA \[NCT05784246\], I6T-MC-AMBU \[NCT04004611\], I6T-MC-AMAM \[NCT03926130\]) , I6T-MC-AMAY \[NCT05509777\]) who would, in the opinion of the investigator, derive clinical benefit from further treatment with mirikizumab * Participants from prior studies who have completed assessments and procedures at last visit of originating study and remain on study drug treatment. * Female participants must agree to contraception requirements.
