Mirikizumab in the Treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Conditions of the Pouch

Recruiting now · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Pouchitis, Pouches, Ileoanal, Pouch, Ileal

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if mirikizumab works to treat pouch disorders in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does mirikizumab reduce symptoms of pouch disorders Participants will: Take mirikizumab every 4 weeks for one year Visit the clinic once every month for two months and at the end of the study Keep a diary of their symptoms

Informed consent will be obtained before any study-related procedures
Age >/= 18 and </= 80 years
Diagnosis of Chronic Pouchitis or Crohn's-like disease of the pouch based on the following criteria:
Chronic Antibiotic-Dependent Pouchitis: Recurrent symptoms of pouchitis (frequency, urgency, bleeding, abdominal pain or cramping, or pelvic discomfort) that respond to antibiotic therapy but relapse shortly after stopping antibiotics, thus necessitating continuous antibiotic therapy to achieve symptom control.
Chronic Antibiotic Refractory Pouchitis: Lack of response to standard antibiotic therapy, requirement of a longer duration of antibiotic therapy than expected with minimal improvement in symptoms, in association with typical symptoms of pouchitis (frequency, urgency, bleeding, abdominal pain or cramping, or pelvic discomfort).
Crohn's-like disease of the pouch: Presence of a perianal or other fistula that developed at least 12 months after the final stage of Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis (IPAA) surgery, stricture of the pouch body or pre-pouch ileum, or the presence of pre-pouch ileitis. Pouch body inflammation (pouchitis) may often coexist in the setting of Crohn's-like disease of the pouch.
Participants with a proven history of ulcerative colitis and history of 1,2, modified -2 or 3 stage IPAA and ileostomy takedown
