Official title: An Adaptive Two-Stage Bioequivalence Study of Subcutaneous Injections of Mirikizumab Solution in Healthy Participants

Run by Eli Lilly and Company · NCT07446101 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test if a single injection of mirikizumab solution is as safe and well-tolerated as two subcutaneous injections in healthy adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy adults who pass medical screening, have a BMI of 18.0–34.0 kg/m2, normal laboratory and ECG results, and no significant allergies to monoclonal antibodies or immunocompromise are eligible.

Probably not a fit

People who are immunocompromised, have significant allergies to monoclonal antibodies, abnormal screening labs, major comorbidities affecting drug handling, or who seek direct therapeutic benefit for a medical condition are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 interventional trial compares a single subcutaneous injection of mirikizumab solution with two subcutaneous injections in healthy adult volunteers over about 15 weeks per participant. The primary focus is on safety and tolerability, with blood tests to measure how the body processes the drug (pharmacokinetics). Participants will undergo medical screening including labs, ECG, and vital signs before dosing and will return for scheduled follow-up visits. The work is being conducted at three US clinical research units under Eli Lilly sponsorship.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could allow a single injection instead of two, simplifying administration and improving convenience for future patients.

How similar studies have gone: Previous phase 1 work with mirikizumab and other monoclonal antibodies has generally shown predictable pharmacokinetics and acceptable safety, so formulation and injection-number comparisons are a common development step.
