A Long-term Extension Study of Mirikizumab (LY3074828) in Participants With Crohn's Disease
This study is designed to learn more about a medicine called mirikizumab for individuals living with Crohn's disease. Researchers want to understand if it continues to be helpful and safe over a longer period. Participants in this study have already taken part in an earlier study involving mirikizumab. By continuing to follow these individuals, the study aims to gather important information about the long-term benefits and any potential side effects of this treatment. This will help doctors and patients make informed decisions about managing Crohn's disease in the future. The study is open to adults of all genders.

What is this study about?
This study is about a medicine called mirikizumab, which is being investigated for treating Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is a long-term condition that causes inflammation in the digestive system. This can lead to symptoms like stomach pain, diarrhoea, weight loss, and tiredness. Finding effective treatments is very important for improving the quality of life for people with Crohn's.
The main goal of this particular study is to see how well mirikizumab works and how safe it is over a longer period. Many medicines are first tested in shorter studies, but it's also important to understand their effects when used for a longer time. This helps us get a full picture of what to expect from the treatment. The participants in this study have already received mirikizumab (or a placebo) in previous studies, so this is a chance to keep track of their progress.
By carefully observing participants and gathering information on their health and any side effects, researchers hope to learn more about the long-term benefits and risks of mirikizumab. This information is really important because it helps doctors decide if a medicine is a good option for people with Crohn's disease and how it can be used safely and effectively in the long run. It also helps to build a better understanding of Crohn's disease treatments in general.
Key takeaways
- This study focuses on the long-term effects of mirikizumab for Crohn's disease.
- Only people who were in a previous mirikizumab study can now join this one.
- The aim is to check if the medicine remains safe and effective over time.
- The study includes adults of all genders.
- Participants will have regular check-ups and monitoring.
- You can stop participating at any time.
Who may be eligible?
To join this study, you must have already taken part in one of two previous studies involving mirikizumab. These previous studies were I6T-MC-AMAG or I6T-MC-AMAM.
There are also some important health conditions that would prevent you from taking part. For example, if you developed a new serious health condition, like cancer, during your previous study, or if you currently have certain serious infections like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, or active tuberculosis, you wouldn't be able to join. However, if you had tuberculosis in the past and it was properly treated according to health guidelines, you might still be able to participate.
It's also important that you haven't had a severe allergic reaction to mirikizumab or any of its ingredients in the past. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study or shortly after would not be able to join.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Did you take part in the I6T-MC-AMAG or I6T-MC-AMAM study?
- Do you have any serious infections like hepatitis B, C, HIV/AIDS, or active TB?
- Have you developed any new serious health conditions, such as cancer, since your previous study?
- Have you had a severe allergic reaction to mirikizumab in the past?
- Are you pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant?
What does participation involve?
If you decide to take part in this study, you'll be continuing treatment with mirikizumab. The exact number and frequency of visits will depend on your individual circumstances and the study's protocol, but you can expect to have regular check-ups with the study team. These visits will involve assessments to see how you are responding to the medication and to monitor your general health. You'll likely have blood tests and other examinations to ensure the treatment is effective and safe for you. The study team will explain everything in detail, including how long your participation is expected to last, at your first visit.
