A Master Protocol (AMAZ): A Study of Mirikizumab (LY3074828) in Pediatric Participants With Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease (SHINE-ON)
This study, called SHINE-ON, is for children and teenagers between 2 and 19 years old who have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease. It's looking at a drug called Mirikizumab (pronounced Meer-ih-KIZ-uh-mab). The main goal is to see how effective this medicine is over a long period, helping young people with these bowel conditions. Participants in this study will have already been taking Mirikizumab in a previous study. The whole study will last about 172 weeks, which is over three years, and will involve around 44 visits to the clinic. If you take part, you might also have the option to keep getting the treatment afterwards.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This research is focused on helping children and teenagers who have conditions called Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease. Both of these are types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which means there's ongoing inflammation in the gut that can cause symptoms like tummy pain, diarrhoea, and tiredness. Dealing with these conditions can be tough for young people and their families.
The study involves a medicine called Mirikizumab. This medicine has already been studied in previous trials, and this particular study, called SHINE-ON, is designed to see how well Mirikizumab continues to work over a longer period. It's about understanding its long-term benefits and safety when used in young people.
By taking part, you or your child would be contributing valuable information that could help doctors understand how best to treat Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease in young people in the future. This kind of research is very important for improving care and finding more effective ways to manage these conditions.
Key takeaways
- This study is for children and teenagers with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease.
- It tests the long-term effects of a drug called Mirikizumab.
- Participants must have already been enrolled and benefiting from Mirikizumab in a previous study.
- The study lasts over three years and involves about 44 clinic visits.
- It aims to provide important information to help future patients with these conditions.
Who may be eligible?
This study is for young people who have already been taking Mirikizumab in one of the previous related studies for Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease. You would need to have been getting a benefit from that treatment and still be taking the medicine when this new study starts.
To join, your doctor must think that continuing with Mirikizumab would be good for your health. Female participants who can have children will need to agree to use effective contraception during the study. The study is open to both boys and girls aged between 2 and 19 years old.
You wouldn't be able to join if you had a serious health problem during the previous study that would make it risky to continue with Mirikizumab. Also, if you had to stop the medicine permanently or for a long time in the old study, restarting it might not be safe. People with unstable health conditions or certain unremoved growths (polyps) in their bowel, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding, also cannot take part.
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.
- Are you between 2 and 19 years old?
- Do you have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease?
- Have you been taking part in a previous Mirikizumab study and found it helpful?
- Are you currently still taking Mirikizumab medication from that previous study?
- If you are a girl or young woman, are you able to use contraception during the study?
- Do you have any serious, unstable health conditions?
What does participation involve?
If you join this study, you will continue to receive Mirikizumab, the same medicine you were taking in the previous study. The study is designed to last for about 172 weeks, which is approximately three and a half years. During this time, you would have around 44 visits to the clinic.
These visits will involve checks to see how you are doing, track the progress of your condition, and ensure the medicine is working well and safely. This might include physical exams, blood tests, and other assessments. After the main study finishes, there might be a chance to continue receiving the medicine if it's helping you, through something called a Continued Access Period.
