Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the drugs eltrekibart and mirikizumab in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This Phase 2 study aims to find out how these treatments work alone or in combination to improve UC symptoms and health. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and will last about 4 to 5 years, including screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments eltrekibart with a placebo, mirikizumab with a placebo, both drugs together, or placebo alone. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment is given to ensure unbiased results. The treatment period includes dosing with the study drugs or placebo, and participants will be monitored for safety and response. Participants will be involved in the trial for around 69 weeks, including a screening period of up to 35 days before starting treatment. Throughout the study, they will undergo assessments to measure clinical remission, response, endoscopic improvement, and quality of life using questionnaires. Blood samples will be taken to study drug levels, and researchers will monitor safety and disease activity regularly. The main outcome is the percentage of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12, with additional measures assessed up to Week 52.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of LY4268989 compared to a placebo in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC. The study focuses on participants with a diagnosis of UC for at least 3 months, confirmed by specific clinical and endoscopic criteria. This Phase 2 trial aims to better understand how LY4268989 may impact clinical remission and response in this patient group over a long-term period. Participants will receive either one of two doses of LY4268989 or a placebo, all administered orally. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts up to approximately 108 weeks, excluding the screening phase, allowing for assessment of the drug over an extended time. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including clinical assessments using the Modified Mayo Score to measure remission and response at multiple time points, including weeks 10 and 52. Researchers will also monitor symptomatic response and measure plasma concentrations of LY4268989. Safety and effectiveness will be tracked through these clinical and laboratory tests to understand the drugs impact on UC over the study duration.
