P068 mirikizumab treatment improves bowel movement urgency in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis

Mirikizumab (miri; LY3074828) is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the p19 subunit of IL-23, which demonstrated efficacy and was well-tolerated in a phase 2 randomized clinical trial (NCT02589665) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Bowel movement urgency is one of the most bothersome symptoms experienced by patients with UC with an often-overlooked impact of their quality of life (QoL). Here we show the effect of miri on patient-reported urgency.
