Introduction: Results from the phase 3 VIVID-1 study (NCT03926130) showed the efficacy of mirikizumab (miri), an anti-IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody, versus (vs) placebo (PBO), and ustekinumab (uste) in moderately-to-severely active Crohn’s disease (CD)1. Here, we present miri efficacy vs PBO across ileal, colonic, and ileocolonic baseline (BL) disease locations assessed by endoscopy in VIVID-1.
Methods: Patients were randomized 6:3:2 to miri (N=579), uste (N=287), or PBO (N=199). Miri was administered at week (W) 0, W4 and W8 (induction), then every 4 weeks from W12 to W52 (maintenance). At W12, PBO responders continued PBO to W52. PBO non-responders received blinded miri as described above. Endpoints in this subgroup analysis, based on the primary analysis set population, included the co-primary composite endpoints (A) clinical remission-composite: Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) clinical response at W12 and Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) clinical remission at W52, and (B) endoscopic response-composite: PRO clinical response at W12 and endoscopic response at W52. Other endpoints were: 1) CDAI clinical remission at W12, 2) endoscopic response at W12, and 3) endoscopic remission-composite: PRO clinical response at W12 and endoscopic remission at W52. Non-responder imputation was used.
Results: Of miri and PBO patients, 11.2% (n=65) and 9.5% (n=19) had ileal, 38.9% (n=225) and 38.7% (n=77) had colonic, and 49.9% (n=289) and 51.8% (n=103) had ileocolonic BL CD location. Figure shows miri met both co-primary endpoints vs PBO in the colonic and ileocolonic subgroups (all nominal p< 0.0001). Greater proportions of miri-treated patients vs PBO in the colonic and ileocolonic subgroups achieved W12 CDAI clinical remission, W12 endoscopic response, and endoscopic remission-composite (all nominally statistically significant). For ileal CD, miri response rates were numerically greater vs PBO for all reported endpoints except W12 CDAI clinical remission.
Discussion: These results by BL CD location are consistent with the VIVID-1 primary results, which demonstrated effectiveness of miri in achieving and maintaining symptomatic and endoscopic improvements up to 1 year. Analyses of patients with ileal-only disease were limited by the small sample size. 1Jairath et al.

Figure: Figure: Co-primary endpoints by baseline disease location. Co-primary endpoints were: A) clinical remission-composite: PRO clinical response at W12 and CDAI clinical remission at W52, and B) endoscopic response-composite: PRO clinical response at W12 and endoscopic response at W52. Efficacy analyses, based on the primary analysis set population, included all randomized participants who had BL SES-CD≥ 7 (or ≥4 for isolated ileal disease) and received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Δ = difference versus placebo. The 95% confidence intervals are constructed using the asymptotic method, without continuity correction. P-value is from the Fisher’s exact test. Reported p-values are unadjusted for multiple testing.
