Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced data demonstrating more patients with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease treated with mirikizumab achieved histologic response at Week 52 compared to ustekinumab, regardless of prior biologic experience. VIVID-1 is the first Phase 3 study for any approved or investigational treatment in Crohn’s disease to report histologic and combined histologic-endoscopic outcomes that were evaluated using a systematic assessment of five bowel segments (four colonic and one ileal) and strict definitions consistent with the recently published European Crohn’s and Colitis (ECCO) position statement on mucosal histopathology.
These results are being presented as an oral presentation at United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week, held in Vienna, Austria from October 12-15.
