New hope for kids with IBD: Long-Term drug trial launches
NCT ID NCT04844606
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
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.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
