Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Mothers 18 years or older who are on maintenance mirikizumab for an approved diagnosis and exclusively breastfeeding an infant who is at least 3 weeks old at study start.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants who are not on mirikizumab maintenance therapy or whose infant cannot be breastfed or bottle-fed with stored milk may not benefit from the study results.

What this trial studies
This Phase 4, interventional study measures the concentration of mirikizumab in the breast milk of lactating participants who are receiving maintenance mirikizumab for an approved indication. Participants will be monitored for up to 94 days, including screening and follow-up. Eligible mothers must be at least 18 years old, exclusively breastfeeding, and have a breastfed infant who can feed from a bottle with stored milk or formula; infants must be at least 3 weeks old at Study Day 0. The study involves a single intervention of mirikizumab and is conducted at sites in Illinois, Iowa, and Maryland.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Results could inform safety guidelines for breastfeeding while on mirikizumab by clarifying infant exposure.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have evaluated drug levels in breast milk for biologics, suggesting feasibility of measuring infant exposure with this approach.

Inclusion Criteria: Study Participants: * Mothers who are at minimum 18 years of age and their infants who are at least 36 weeks gestation age at birth and at least 3 weeks old by Study Day 0 * Multiple births may be allowed following discussion with the medical monitor. Note: in the opinion of the healthcare practitioner (HCP), there are no infant or maternal issues that would preclude the mother participant or the infant from participation * Lactation history is well established, with the mother exclusively breastfeeding her infant * Mother participant is receiving mirikizumab therapeutically for an approved diagnosis (having received at least 2 doses of mirikizumab SC maintenance therapy every 4 weeks prior to study Day 0) * Have a breastfed infant who can feed from a bottle with previously stored breast milk or formula Exclusion Criteria: * Have a history of inadequate lactation, for multiparous participants who have previously breastfed * Have a significant previous or current history of comorbidities capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs, or of constituting a risk when taking mirikizumab, or of interfering with the interpretation of data * Have any condition that fulfills any contraindication stated in the label. All warnings and precautions stated in the label need to be considered * Have a history of breast augmentation procedures judged to have a clinical impact on breast milk expression such as breast reduction surgery and some breast implants, or current evidence of acute or chronic conditions affecting breasts and potentially interfering with breast milk collection * Have received any live vaccine (that is, live attenuated) within less than 4 weeks or inactivated vaccine within less than 2 weeks before enrollment or intend to receive a live vaccine during the study or an inactivated vaccine 2 weeks postdose, the mother participant must be given the vaccine at an injection site remote from mirikizumab administration
