Abstract

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Histologic evaluation of mucosal healing in Crohn's ` s disease is an evolving treatment target. We evaluated histologic outcomes for mirikizumab efficacy fi cacy and associations with endoscopic and 1-year outcomes. METHODS: Biopsy specimens from 1 ileal and 4 colonic segments were evaluated at weeks 0, 12, and 52 from each of the 170 SERENITY participants. Criteria for the weeks 12 and 52 histologic response were no epithelial neutrophils or epithelial damage, or > 50% decrease in either the Robarts Histopathology Index or the active Global Histologic Disease Activity Score, and remission (no mucosal neutrophils and no epithelial damage) had to be met in all biopsy specimens. Agreement was evaluated between histologic and endoscopic end points. Associations between 1-year outcomes and week 12 histologic and endoscopic response were evaluated.<br /> RESULTS: At week 12, 1000 mg mirikizumab resulted in greater rates of histologic response (66% vs 27%; P < .001) and remission (26% vs 6%; P < .01) than placebo. Rates were numerically similar at 1 year (mirikizumab pooled response, 46%-69%; - 69%; remission, 13%-31%). - 31%). Agreement between week 12 histologic and endoscopic response was 69% (Cohen's ` s kappa coefficient fi cient [K] K ] = 0.40) and remission was 83% (K K = 0.38) in all pooled arms, including placebo. At 1 year, the percentage of participants who received any dose of mirikizumab and achieved endoscopic remission differed by their week 12 response: histologic (20%), endoscopic (25%), combined histology-endoscopy (45%), or neither (4%) (P P = .003). CONCLUSIONS: In a post hoc analysis of phase 2 data, mirikizumab induced and sustained histologic response and remission in Crohn's ` s disease over 52 weeks. Early combined histologic-endoscopic - endoscopic response was associated with endoscopic remission after 1 year of treatment with mirikizumab
