P1103Mirikizumab demonstrated high treatment persistence and effectiveness in a real-world retrospective study in Canadian adult patients with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract Background Mirikizumab is approved for adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) based on evidence from randomised clinical trials.1 However, real-world evidence on treatment persistence and clinical outcomes in routine practice is limited. This analysis evaluated treatment persistence and effectiveness among patients with UC receiving mirikizumab in a Canadian real-world setting. Methods Adults (≥18 years) with moderate-to-severe UC enrolled in the LillyPlus® Patient Support Program in Canada who received at least 1 dose of mirikizumab (index date) between 26 October 2023 and 28 April 2025 were included. Persistence was defined as continuous mirikizumab treatment until reported discontinuation.2 Clinical outcomes assessed included bowel urgency (BU; scored 0-10), rectal bleeding (RB; scored 0-3), and stool frequency (SF; scored 0-3), with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms/higher symptom severity. Scores were collected at baseline and at weeks 4, 12, and 24 (+4-week window after each touchpoint). Persistence and clinical outcomes were evaluated up to 24 weeks post-index by prior advanced therapy (AT) subgroup (AT-naïve and AT-experienced) using descriptive statistics. Results The cohort (N = 774) was 51.9% female with a mean (standard deviation SD) age of 46.5 (17.4) years, and 87.0% of participants were AT-experienced. Treatment persistence rates were 98.0%, 92.6%, and 80.9% at 4, 12, and 24 weeks, respectively (Figure 1). Persistence rates trended higher in AT-naïve than in AT-experienced patients at week 24. At baseline, the overall mean (SD) BU, RB, and SF scores were 6.83 (2.90), 1.41 (1.08), and 2.22 (1.05), respectively (Figure 2). Changes to outcome scores were observed as early as week 4. By week 24, the overall mean (SD) BU, RB, and SF scores had decreased to 2.98 (2.67), 0.44 (0.72), and 0.86 (0.92), respectively. Conclusion In this real-world setting, which included a high proportion of AT-experienced participants (87.0%), mirikizumab demonstrated treatment persistence through 24 weeks of initial treatment. Improvements in BU, RB, and SF scores were observed as early as 4 weeks and continued over 24 weeks in both AT-naïve and AT-experienced patients. References: 1.
