New composite outcomes data show patients treated with Lilly's Omvoh (mirikizumab-mrkz) achieved comprehensive corticosteroid-free disease control in ulcerative colitis and corticosteroid-free deep remission in Crohn's disease at one year

Among patients with prior biologic failure, composite outcomes were achieved by 23.4% in ulcerative colitis and 15.7% in Crohn's disease.

Rhea-AI Summary

Eli Lilly (LLY) reported new Omvoh analyses showing corticosteroid-free composite disease control in ulcerative colitis and deep remission in Crohn's disease.

The post hoc analyses, conducted after the original trials, assessed outcomes at one year. In LUCENT-2, 27.7% of Omvoh-treated ulcerative colitis patients achieved comprehensive disease control versus 14% receiving placebo. This combined symptom, endoscopic and tissue remission, an inflammation marker threshold and no corticosteroid use. Patients had first responded to Omvoh during induction. In VIVID-1, 20.4% achieved corticosteroid-free deep remission versus 2% receiving placebo, combining clinical and endoscopic remission with no corticosteroid use. Both endpoints required no corticosteroids for at least 12 weeks before Week 52. Benefits were also observed after prior biologic treatment failure; endpoint achievement was associated with better patient-reported quality of life.

4 terms

post-hoc analysis technical

"evaluated in a post hoc analysis at one year"

Post-hoc analysis is an examination of data carried out after an experiment, trial, or reporting period to look for patterns or explanations that were not specified beforehand. It matters to investors because such findings can suggest new opportunities or risks but are more likely to be chance results than preplanned conclusions, so they require independent confirmation before being treated as reliable — like noticing a pattern on a map after a trip and then testing it on the next journey.

fecal calprotectin medical

"fecal calprotectin ≤250 μg/g"

A fecal calprotectin test measures the level of a specific protein shed into stool when the intestines are inflamed; higher levels signal active inflammation in the gut. Investors watch this marker because it is used in clinical trials, diagnostic labs, and treatment decisions to show whether therapies for inflammatory bowel diseases are working or if patients need further care, making it a practical indicator of market demand for diagnostics and drugs.

inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (ibdq) medical

"the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), a validated patient-reported measure"

A standardized patient-reported questionnaire used in clinical care and trials to measure how inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) affects a person’s quality of life and daily functioning. The IBDQ asks about symptoms, emotional health, social function and systemic/physical well‑being over a recent recall period; answers are scored and summed so higher or lower totals indicate better or worse disease‑related quality of life depending on the version. It is a measure of patient experience and treatment effect, not a diagnostic test, and multiple validated versions and scoring ranges exist for adult and pediatric use.

crohn's disease activity index medical

"Corticosteroid-free Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI)-based deep remission"

A validated composite clinical score used in Crohn's disease research and trials to quantify symptom severity and treatment response. It combines eight weighted variables recorded over a one-week period—including number of liquid/soft stools, abdominal pain, general well‑being, presence of complications, use of antidiarrheal drugs, palpable abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight—into a single numeric value (higher scores indicate more active disease); common cutoffs are remission <150 and a clinical response often defined as a drop of 100 points or more. The index reflects patient symptoms and some laboratory/physical findings but is not a direct measure of intestinal inflammation by imaging or endoscopy, so it is often used alongside objective measures in trials.

In LUCENT-2, more than one in four (27.7%) Omvoh-treated patients with ulcerative colitis achieved comprehensive disease control, a novel composite outcome defined by simultaneous symptomatic, endoscopic and histologic remission, biomarker normalization and no corticosteroid use

In VIVID-1, one in five (20.4%) Omvoh-treated patients with Crohn's disease achieved corticosteroid-free deep remission, a composite outcome defined by simultaneous clinical remission, endoscopic remission and no corticosteroid use
 

Across both types of inflammatory bowel disease, including patients with prior biologic failure, achieving comprehensive disease control or corticosteroid-free deep remission was associated with improved patient-reported outcomes

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- New data analyses from Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) show patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease treated with Omvoh (mirikizumab-mrkz) achieved multiple treatment goals simultaneously at one year, as measured by comprehensive disease control in UC and corticosteroid-free deep remission in Crohn's disease. These multidimensional outcomes were observed even in patients with prior biologic failure, a population often facing greater treatment challenges. More than one-third of patients in the UC analysis and nearly half of patients in the Crohn's disease analysis had previously experienced biologic treatment failure. Furthermore, patients who achieved these endpoints were more likely to also achieve remission on the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), a validated patient-reported measure of health-related quality of life. Together, these findings reflect an evolution of treatment goals in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), looking across symptoms, inflammation and impact of disease on daily life to support a more holistic, patient-centered approach that goes beyond clinical remission. These post-hoc data from the LUCENT and VIVID programs will be presented at United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week 2026.^1,2

"Treatment in inflammatory bowel disease is often measured one endpoint at a time. These new data show that patients treated with Omvoh achieved multiple treatment goals simultaneously at one year, including those with prior biologic failure, and were more likely to report better quality of life," said Anabela Cardoso, senior vice president, Lilly Immunology Medical Affairs. "These findings reinforce the impact that Omvoh can have for people living with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease and show that a higher bar for disease control is achievable."

A comprehensive approach to IBD management considers multiple dimensions of disease, including the symptoms patients experience, what clinicians can objectively measure and how disease affects daily life.^3-4 In previously published real-world studies, improvements across multiple dimensions of disease have been associated with a lower risk of flares, steroid use, hospitalization and surgery over time.^4-7

"Inflammatory bowel disease is complex, and understanding treatment impact requires a broader view than any single endpoint can provide. These endpoints reflect a meaningful shift in how we define treatment success," said Stefan Schreiber, M.D., University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Christian-Albrecht University of Kiel. "Across the LUCENT and VIVID programs, Omvoh-treated patients achieved multidimensional treatment outcomes, including comprehensive disease control in ulcerative colitis and corticosteroid-free deep remission in Crohn's disease. Importantly, these outcomes were also observed in patients with prior biologic failure."

Comprehensive disease control with Omvoh in ulcerative colitis
Comprehensive disease control is a novel composite outcome, informed by an international expert consensus³, that combines clinical remission*, no corticosteroid use for at least 12 weeks before Week 52, histologic remission^† and fecal calprotectin ≤250 μg/g. Omvoh is the first IL-23p19 inhibitor evaluated for comprehensive disease control in UC, reflecting an evolving approach to treatment goals that goes beyond individual measures of disease activity for people living with UC. 

Comprehensive disease control was evaluated in a post hoc analysis at one year in patients with UC who responded to Omvoh at Week 12 in the LUCENT-1 induction study and were re-randomized in LUCENT-2 to continue Omvoh or receive placebo. More than one-third of patients (35.3%) had previously experienced biologic treatment failure.

At one year:¹ 

• 27.7% of patients treated with Omvoh achieved comprehensive disease control compared with 14% receiving placebo.^‡
• Among patients with prior biologic failure, 23.4% of those treated with Omvoh achieved comprehensive disease control compared with 9.4% receiving placebo.^‡
• Among Omvoh-treated patients, 91.1% of those who achieved comprehensive disease control also achieved IBDQ remission^§, compared with 65.2% of those who did not achieve comprehensive disease control.
• Omvoh-treated patients who achieved comprehensive disease control were also more likely to report no to minimal bowel urgency (bowel urgency remission) and greater improvements in work productivity than those who did not achieve comprehensive disease control.^∥ 

Corticosteroid-free deep remission with Omvoh in Crohn's disease
Corticosteroid-free deep remission was evaluated in a post hoc analysis at one year in patients with Crohn's disease in VIVID-1. Nearly half of patients (48.6%) had previously experienced biologic treatment failure. Corticosteroid-free deep remission is a composite outcome that combines clinical remission (as measured by the Crohn's Disease Activity Index), endoscopic remission and no corticosteroid use for at least 12 weeks before Week 52.^¶

At one year:² 

• 20.4% of patients receiving Omvoh achieved corticosteroid-free deep remission compared with 2% receiving placebo.^#
• Among patients with prior biologic failure, 15.7% of those treated with Omvoh achieved corticosteroid-free deep remission compared with none of those receiving placebo.^#
• Among Omvoh-treated patients, 88.1% of those who achieved corticosteroid-free deep remission also achieved IBDQ remission^§, compared with 51% of those who did not achieve corticosteroid-free deep remission.

The safety findings observed in the Phase 3 LUCENT and VIVID clinical trial programs have been reported previously. The most common adverse reactions associated with Omvoh treatment in LUCENT-1 and -2 (reported in at least 2% of subjects at a higher frequency than placebo) were upper respiratory tract infections, injection site reactions, arthralgia, rash, headache and herpes viral infection. In VIVID-1, the most common adverse reactions associated with Omvoh treatment (reported in at least 5% of subjects at a higher frequency than placebo) were upper respiratory tract infections, injection site reactions, headache, arthralgia and elevated liver tests.⁸

Omvoh has received regulatory approvals for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC and moderately to severely active Crohn's disease in adults and has been approved in 47 countries. Omvoh is also approved as a single-injection maintenance regimen for adults with UC in several countries around the world, including the U.S., EU, Canada and Japan.

Lilly continues to advance the standard of care in gastroenterology through the next wave of immunology innovation, including combination approaches, novel mechanisms and the potential of incretins. Lilly is pursuing combination studies of mirikizumab aimed at delivering breakthrough induction efficacy while maintaining long-term remission and safety. These include studies in UC with eltrekibart (NCT06598943), a monoclonal antibody that targets neutrophil-driven inflammation, and with zotemtegrast (NCT07186101), an oral α4β7 integrin inhibitor. In Crohn's disease, Lilly is studying mirikizumab in combination with an FXR agonist (NCT07483099). The COMMIT-UC (NCT06937086) and COMMIT-CD (NCT06937099) trials are investigating the concomitant use of mirikizumab and an incretin-based therapy in adults with UC or Crohn's disease and obesity or overweight with at least one additional weight-related comorbid condition. In addition, trials of mirikizumab in pediatric patients are ongoing, including a long-term extension study in UC and Crohn's disease (NCT04844606) and an ongoing Phase 3 study in pediatric Crohn's disease (NCT05509777).

About the LUCENT Clinical Trial Program
Omvoh was studied in two Phase 3 clinical trials which evaluated the efficacy and safety of Omvoh in adults with moderately to severely active UC, in both biologic-naïve patients and those who had previously failed a biologic or Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi).

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled LUCENT-1 (induction) study included patients with an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologic therapy, or JAKi, and LUCENT-2 (maintenance) evaluated continued treatment versus placebo in patients who achieved a clinical response to Omvoh in LUCENT-1.

About the VIVID Clinical Trial Program
VIVID-1 was a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 52-week study in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Patients randomized to Omvoh received Omvoh 900 mg by intravenous (IV) infusion at Week 0, Week 4 and Week 8, followed by a maintenance dose of 300 mg by subcutaneous injection (SC) at Week 12 and then every four weeks (Q4W) for 40 weeks.

About Omvoh
Omvoh (mirikizumab-mrkz) is an interleukin-23p19 (IL-23p19) antagonist indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in adults. Omvoh selectively targets the p19 subunit of IL-23 and inhibits the IL-23 pathway. Inflammation due to over-activation of the IL-23 pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.⁸

Indications and Usage for Omvoh^® (mirikizumab-mrkz) (in the United States)
Omvoh is an interleukin-23 antagonist indicated for adults with:

• Moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis
• Moderately to severely active Crohn's disease

Important Safety Information for Omvoh (mirikizumab-mrkz)

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Omvoh is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to mirikizumab-mrkz or any of the excipients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Hypersensitivity Reactions
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis during intravenous infusion, have been reported with Omvoh administration. Infusion-related hypersensitivity reactions, including mucocutaneous erythema and pruritus, were reported during induction. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue Omvoh immediately and initiate appropriate treatment.

Infections
Omvoh may increase the risk of infection. Do not initiate treatment with Omvoh in patients with a clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. In patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection, consider the risks and benefits prior to prescribing Omvoh. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important acute or chronic infection occur. If a serious infection develops or an infection is not responding to standard therapy, monitor the patient closely and do not administer Omvoh until the infection resolves.

Tuberculosis
Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with Omvoh. Do not administer Omvoh to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering Omvoh. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of Omvoh in patients with a history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after Omvoh treatment. In clinical trials, subjects were excluded if they had evidence of active TB, a history of active TB, or were diagnosed with latent TB at screening.

Hepatotoxicity
Drug-induced liver injury in conjunction with pruritus was reported in a clinical trial subject following a longer than recommended induction regimen. Omvoh was discontinued. Liver test abnormalities eventually returned to baseline. Evaluate liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and for at least 24 weeks of treatment. Monitor thereafter according to routine patient management. Consider other treatment options in patients with evidence of liver cirrhosis. Prompt investigation of the cause of liver enzyme elevation is recommended to identify potential cases of drug-induced liver injury. Interrupt treatment if drug-induced liver injury is suspected, until this diagnosis is excluded. Instruct patients to seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of hepatic dysfunction.

Immunizations
Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with Omvoh. Medications that interact with the immune system may increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to initiating therapy, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines. No data are available on the response to live or non-live vaccines in patients treated with Omvoh.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Most common adverse reactions associated with Omvoh (≥2% of subjects and at a higher frequency than placebo) in ulcerative colitis treatment are upper respiratory tract infections and arthralgia during the induction study (UC-1), and upper respiratory tract infections, injection site reactions, arthralgia, rash, headache, and herpes viral infection during the maintenance study (UC-2). Most common adverse reactions associated with Omvoh in the Crohn's disease study (CD-1) (≥5% of subjects and at a higher frequency than placebo) are upper respiratory tract infections, injection site reactions, headache, arthralgia, and elevated liver tests.

Omvoh injection is available as a 300 mg/15 mL solution in a single-dose vial for intravenous infusion, and as a 100 mg/mL solution or a 200 mg/2 mL solution in a single dose prefilled pen or prefilled syringe for subcutaneous injection. Refer to the Prescribing Information for dosing information.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What did Lilly's Omvoh analyses show at one year?

Omvoh patients achieved ulcerative colitis comprehensive disease control at 27.7% versus 14% with placebo and Crohn's corticosteroid-free deep remission at 20.4% versus 2% with placebo. These were post hoc analyses of LUCENT-2 and VIVID-1, respectively.

How were placebo patients handled in Lilly's Omvoh composite outcome analyses?

The placebo groups followed different trial designs. LUCENT-2 placebo patients had responded to Omvoh during induction before switching to placebo for maintenance. VIVID-1 placebo patients were randomized at baseline; those who did not respond by Week 12 switched to Omvoh and were counted as non-responders in this analysis.

What additional measures defined comprehensive disease control in Lilly's Omvoh ulcerative colitis analysis?

The endpoint required fecal calprotectin ≤250 μg/g, alongside clinical and tissue remission and no corticosteroid use for at least 12 weeks before Week 52. Clinical remission incorporated stool frequency, rectal bleeding and endoscopic scores; tissue remission used specified Geboes subscores assessing inflammation and tissue damage.

Who is eligible for Lilly's COMMIT studies of mirikizumab and incretin-based therapy?

COMMIT-UC and COMMIT-CD investigate adults with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who also have obesity, or overweight with at least one additional weight-related comorbid condition. The studies investigate concomitant use of mirikizumab and an incretin-based therapy.
