Association Between Effectiveness of Mirikizumab and UC Patients with High Neutrophilic Infiltration in Epithelium of the Colonic Mucosa

Phase 4
Recruiting
Conditions
Ulcerative Colitis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06626165
Lead Sponsor
Showa Inan General Hospital
Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to confirm that Mirikizumab therapy may provide clinical, endoscopic, and histopathologic improvements in patients with moderate to severe UC refractory to maintenance therapy when high neutrophilic infiltration in epithelium of the colonic mucosa (Geboes score Grade ≥3.2) on endoscopic biopsy is found.

MirikizumabMirikizumabWhen the patients were endoscopically active and pathologically high neutrophil infiltration in epithelium of the colonic mucosa (Geboes score Grade ≥3.2), using Geboes biopsy histology scores they will be administered by mirikizumab.
VedolizumabVedolizumabWhen the patients are endoscopically active and pathologically low neutrophil infiltration in epithelium of the colonic mucosa (Geboes score Grade 3.1), using Geboes biopsy histology scores, they will be administered by vedolizumab.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in clinical activities before and after mirikizumab or vedolizumab treatment.2 weeks

Clinical activity is graded using the clinical activity index (0, best - 15, worst).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in endoscopic activities before and after mirikizumab or vedolizumab administration.2 months

Mayo endoscopic subscore (0, best - 3, worst) and ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity (UCEIS) score are assessed at the site with the maximum endoscopic activity, (0, best - 8, worst).

Changes in pathological activity2 months

Pathological activity was graded using Geboes biopsy histology scores, which were classified on a scale from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating more severe histologic inflammation.
