Abstract
Introduction: Treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) aims to reduce symptoms and complications by decreasing intestinal inflammation. A proportion of patients do not respond to, do not tolerate, or are inappropriate candidates for current therapies. Interleukin (IL)-23 is a novel therapeutic target and mirikizumab is the first anti-IL-23 antibody approved for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC.
Areas covered: This review summarizes the pro-inflammatory effects of IL-23 and outlines the pharmacokinetics of mirikizumab. It provides a synopsis of the available phase II and phaseIII evidence for the efficacy and safety of mirikizumab in UC.
Expert opinion: The mirikizumab clinical development program demonstrated its superiority over placebo and its favorable safety profile in the treatment of UC. Its positioning in therapeutic algorithms remains to be fully understood but mirikizumab has proven efficacy in both advanced therapy (AT)-naïve and AT-experienced patients. The inclusion in the license of extended induction for non-responders as well as rescue intravenous dosing allows for flexibility in patient with limited primary response and secondary loss of response.
期刊介绍：
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy (1471-2598; 1744-7682) is a MEDLINE-indexed, international journal publishing peer-reviewed research across all aspects of biological therapy.
Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the impact of the topic on research and clinical practice and the scope for future development.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the healthcare and biopharmaceutical industries and others closely involved in the development and application of biological therapies for the treatment of human disease.
The journal welcomes:
Reviews covering therapeutic antibodies and vaccines, peptides and proteins, gene therapies and gene transfer technologies, cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine
Drug evaluations reviewing the clinical data on a particular biological agent
Original research papers reporting the results of clinical investigations on biological agents and biotherapeutic-based studies with a strong link to clinical practice
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Collection format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion – a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results;
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
