Safety and efficacy of mirikizumab as induction and maintenance for inflammatory bowel disease in adult patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
摘要
Mirikizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-23 (IL-23), was studied for adult patients with moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, conflicting evidence exists on its safety, efficacy and optimal dosing strategy.
AimTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of mirikizumab in treating IBD and understand a dose–response relationship based on clinical, endoscopic, and histological outcomes.
MethodologyA systematic search of six electronic databases, i.e. PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, Cochrane CENTRAL, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and EBSCO, was conducted (PROSPERO: CRD42024570804). Relevant data were extracted from selected studies. Primary endpoints included safety, efficacy, adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and mortality. Dose–response relationship was assessed as a secondary endpoint.
ResultsSix trials were eligible from 415 screened records, pooling 3,990 participants (3,073 of whom received mirikizumab). Mirikizumab significantly improved clinical remission (relative risk [RR] [95% CI] = 1.87 [1.57–2.22]) and histological outcomes (RR [95% CI] = 1.63 [1.35–1.97]) with minimal heterogeneity across subgroups, i.e. intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) routes. The drug significantly improved endoscopic remission (RR [95% CI] = 1.66 [1.28–2.16]), particularly with IV route (RR = 2.09). The risk for AEs was similar between groups, with low heterogeneity (I2 = 2.0%).
ConclusionMirikizumab improves clinical, histological, and endoscopic outcomes in IBD with a favorable safety profile. There was no significant difference with different injection routes and with incrementing dose beyond 200 mg.
