New combo pill aims to tame stubborn ulcerative colitis
NCT ID NCT07186101
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a new oral drug, LY4268989, to the existing treatment mirikizumab works better than mirikizumab alone for adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. About 252 participants will receive either the combination or mirikizumab plus a placebo for up to 104 weeks. The main goal is to see if more people achieve remission with the combination.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LY4268989 (also called MORF-057 or zotemtegrast) and mirikizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a more effective treatment option for people with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, potentially improving remission rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial, so it is still early. The combination may not work better than mirikizumab alone, and side effects are possible. Results may not apply to all patients.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
