After twelve weeks of induction treatment, 24% of participants on mirikizumab achieved clinical remission, which compared with 15% for those on a placebo. During the maintenance phase, 66% of mirikizumab takers who had achieved remission at twelve weeks stayed in remission through one year of treatment. Among those who achieved clinical response at twelve weeks, 51% of all mirikizumab-treated participants remained in clinical remission at one year, compared to 27% of those on placebo. Additionally, 99% who achieved clinical remission at one year were steroid-free, and 39% had achieved resolution or near resolution of bowel urgency, which is reported by UC participants as one of the most disruptive symptoms of the condition.

The primary endpoint of UC-1 and UC-2 was clinical remission at Week 12 and Week 52, respectively. The secondary endpoints of UC-1 were clinical response, endoscopic improvement, and histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI) at 12 weeks. The secondary endpoints of UC-2 were endoscopic improvement, maintenance of clinical remission in subjects who achieved clinical remission at 12 weeks, corticosteroid-free clinical remission, HEMI and bowel urgency improvement (defined as patients achieving a weekly average urgency NRS of 0 to 1) at 40 weeks (a total of 52 weeks of treatment). OMVOH is a clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow to slightly brown solution available as:
Learning Zones
Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with Omvoh. Medications that interact with the immune system may increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to initiating therapy, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines. No data are available on the response to live or non-live vaccines in patients treated with Omvoh. Rapid improvement of symptoms, such as rectal bleeding and stool frequency, were observed as early as three weeks in patients treated with Omvoh. Notably, the LUCENT trials were the first and only to use the patient-centric, Urgency Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of 0-10, with zero being no bowel urgency and 10 being worst possible bowel urgency. At baseline, patients had a median Urgency NRS weekly average score of 7. Among patients who had an Urgency NRS weekly average score ≥3 at baseline and responded to induction therapy with Omvoh, a significantly greater proportion of patients (39%) treated with Omvoh achieved a weekly average score of 0 to 1 at one year, compared to placebo (23%).
Animal studies have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential of mirikizumab-mrkz.Omvoh (mirikizumab-mrkz) is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of human IL-23 cytokine and inhibits its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. IL-23 is involved in mucosal inflammation and affects the differentiation, expansion, and survival of T cell subsets, and innate immune cell subsets, which represent sources of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Research in animal models has shown that pharmacologic inhibition of IL-23p19 can ameliorate intestinal inflammation. Mirikizumab-mrkz inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Side Effects
