Information from the label - liver-associated side effects of mirikizumab

Cases of drug-induced liver injury (including one case meeting Hy’s Law criteria) occurred in patients receiving mirikizumab in clinical trials.1

  • Liver enzymes and bilirubin should be evaluated at baseline and monthly during induction (including extended induction period, if applicable).
    Thereafter, liver enzymes and bilirubin should be monitored (every 1 ‑ 4 months) according to standard practice for patient management and as clinically indicated.

If increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are observed and drug‑induced liver injury is suspected, mirikizumab must be discontinued until this diagnosis is excluded.1

Mirikizumab has not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment. No dose adjustments are considered necessary. More information can be found in the Omvoh Summary of Product Characteristics in the sections1

  • 4.2 Posology and Method of Administration
  • 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
  • 4.8 Undesirable effects
  • 5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Please find below more information about the liver-related adverse events observed in the pivotal studies. A complete description of these studies is available in section 5.1 in the Summary of Product Characteristics.1

A total of 20 hepatic-related events occurred in the mirikizumab group. Five of the 15 patients who received mirikizumab had more than one event. As such,

  • 3 patients had both mild aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased
  • 1 patient had both moderate AST and ALT increased, and
  • 1 patient had both mild gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) increased and mild hypertransaminasemia.5

Additional Information for Hepatic-Related Events in Patients Who Received Mirikizumab in LUCENT-1 in the Appendix lists additional information on the events.

All of the hepatic-related events in the mirikizumab group were mild except for one moderate case of AST increased and one moderate case of ALT increased in a single patient, and one moderate case of hyperbilirubinemia. None of the events were classified as serious adverse events (Additional Information for Hepatic-Related Events in Patients Who Received Mirikizumab in LUCENT-1 in Appendix).5

Clinically Significant Hepatic-Related Adverse Events

Elevated Hepatic Enzymes and Hepatic Steatosis in a Mirikizumab Induction Responder Rerandomized to Placebo

One mirikizumab induction responder who was rerandomized to placebo for LUCENT-2 experienced a mild increase in hepatic enzymes 63 days after their final dose of intravenous mirikizumab and mild hepatic steatosis 132 days into LUCENT-2.5

The patient's liver function tests were within normal limits when entered into LUCENT-2. At the time of the initial event, the patient had laboratory values

  • 1.2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for ALT
  • 3.5 times the ULN for AST
  • 1.3 times the ULN for total bilirubin, and
  • 12.9 times the ULN for GGT.5

The patient was taking the relevant concomitant medication sulfasalazine and was a concurrent alcohol user. The patient did not interrupt treatment with mirikizumab. At the time of study completion, the increased hepatic enzymes had recovered, and the hepatic steatosis was ongoing. Given the time since the last dose of mirikizumab and ongoing alcohol use, the hepatic enzyme elevations were assessed by the investigator as consistent with alcohol intake.5

This patient is listed in Additional Information for Hepatic-Related Events in Mirikizumab Induction Responders Who Received Placebo in LUCENT-2 in the Appendix.

Autoimmune Hepatitis in a Mirikizumab Induction Responder Rerandomized to Mirikizumab

A mirikizumab induction responder who was re-randomized to mirikizumab in LUCENT-2 experienced a moderate treatment-emergent adverse event of autoimmune hepatitis on study day 123, approximately 10 days after the last dose of subcutaneous mirikizumab 200 mg.5

The patient's relevant concomitant medications were azathioprine, prednisolone, propofol, remifentanil, and acetaminophen. Azathioprine had been previously discontinued due to suspected hepatotoxicity and prednisolone was being tapered per LUCENT-2 protocol requirements. Azathioprine and prednisolone were reinitiated for the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis and study drug was discontinued.5

The investigator concluded the autoimmune hepatitis was not related to mirikizumab.5

This patient is listed in Additional Information for Hepatic-Related Events in Mirikizumab Induction Responders Who Received Mirikizumab in LUCENT-2 in the Appendix.

Mirikizumab Induction Nonresponders

Open-label Extended Induction

Patients who did not achieve a clinical response to either mirikizumab or placebo during the 12-week induction phase of LUCENT-1 received open-label extended induction treatment with an additional 3 doses of mirikizumab 300 mg infused intravenously every 4 weeks for the first 12 weeks of LUCENT-2.3

Of the 6 patients who experienced a hepatic-related adverse event,

  • 1 patient experienced both moderate hepatic enzyme increased and mild cholestatic pruritus, and
  • 1 patient experienced moderate GGT increased.3,5 

The other adverse events were mild, and none of the adverse events were serious.3,5

Open-label Maintenance of Delayed Responders

Patients who achieved a clinical response with extended induction therapy compared with LUCENT-1 baseline received open-label maintenance dosing with mirikizumab 200 mg injected subcutaneously every 4 weeks through week 40 of LUCENT-2.3

Additional Background Information on Ulcerative Colitis and Hepatic Disorders

A retrospective case series analysis of 141 patients detected the prevalence of hepatic laboratory test increases among patients with ulcerative colitis as 19.9%, including increases in serum

  • ALT
  • AST
  • alkaline phosphatase
  • GGT, and
  • total bilirubin.5,6

Common hepatobiliary manifestations of ulcerative colitis include

  • primary sclerosing cholangitis (prevalence in ulcerative colitis 0.76%-5.4%)
  • cholelithiasis (incidence in ulcerative colitis 0.75 per 100 patient years and the prevalence in ulcerative colitis 4.6%-36.4%), and
  • non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (prevalence in ulcerative colitis 1.5%-55%).5,7

Additionally, autoimmune hepatitis has been found to be more prevalent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease with up to 16% of patients with autoimmune hepatitis also having ulcerative colitis.5,8
