Ferrante et al. conducted a phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of mirikizumab in patients with moderately-to-severely active Crohn’s disease. The study demonstrated that mirikizumab significantly improved clinical and endoscopic outcomes compared with placebo at week 52, with a favourable safety profile and tolerable adverse events.

Interleukin-23 vs. interleukin-12/23 inhibitors on preventing incidental psoriatic arthritis in patients with psoriasis? A real-world comparison from the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network

Tsai et al. observed no significant difference in the incidence of psoriatic arthritis among psoriasis patients treated with IL-23 inhibitors compared to IL-12/23 inhibitors, although there was a numerically lower PsA risk with IL-23 inhibitors. Results indicate both therapies are similarly effective for PsO management.

Comparative early effectiveness across 14 PsA drugs and 5 classes of PsA treatment: 3-month results from the PRO-SPIRIT study

Kristensen et al. compared 14 PsA drugs across five treatment classes, evaluating their real-world effectiveness over three months. Ixekizumab showed rapid effectiveness on joint disease activity and skin outcomes, performing better than IL-12/23i and IL-23i, and comparable to TNFi and JAKi. More patients with active psoriasis achieved minimal disease activity with Ixekizumab than other therapies.

Magro et al. evaluated histologic outcomes for mirikizumab in Crohn's disease and found that early combined histologic-endoscopic response was associated with endoscopic remission after 1 year of treatment.
