Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following topics are also discussed in detail in the Warnings and Precautions section: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Tuberculosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Most common adverse reactions are: Ulcerative colitis (≥2%) : Induction : upper respiratory tract infections and arthralgia. ( 6.1 ) Maintenance: upper respiratory tract infections, injection site reactions, arthralgia, rash, headache, and herpes viral infection. ( 6.1 ) Crohn's disease (≥5%) : upper respiratory tract infections, injection site reactions, headache, arthralgia, and elevated liver tests ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Eli Lilly and Company at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Ulcerative Colitis OMVOH was studied up to 12 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled induction study (UC-1). In subjects who responded to induction therapy in UC-1, long term safety up to 52 weeks was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance study (UC-2) and a long-term extension study [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . In the induction study (UC-1), 1279 subjects were enrolled of whom 958 received OMVOH 300 mg administered as an intravenous infusion at Weeks 0, 4, and 8. In the maintenance study (UC-2), 581 subjects were enrolled of whom 389 received OMVOH 200 mg administered as a subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks. Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of subjects and at a higher frequency than placebo during UC-1. Table 2: Adverse Reactions a in Subjects with Ulcerative Colitis through Week 12 in a Placebo-Controlled Induction Study (UC-1) a Reported in at least 2% of subjects and at a higher frequency than placebo. b OMVOH 300 mg as an intravenous infusion at Weeks 0, 4, and 8. c Upper respiratory tract infections includes related terms (e.g., COVID-19, nasopharyngitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, and upper respiratory tract infection).

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 CYP450 Substrates Increased concentrations of cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNFα, IFN) during chronic inflammation associated with certain diseases including Crohn's disease may suppress the formation of CYP450 enzymes. Therapeutic proteins, including mirikizumab-mrkz, that decrease the concentrations of these pro-inflammatory cytokines may increase the formation of CYP450 enzymes resulting in decreased CYP450 substrate exposure. Upon initiation or discontinuation of OMVOH in patients treated with concomitant CYP450 substrates, monitor drug concentrations or other therapeutic parameters, and adjust the dosage of the CYP450 substrate as needed. See the prescribing information of specific CYP450 substrates.

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS OMVOH is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to mirikizumab-mrkz or any of the excipients [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . History of serious hypersensitivity reaction to mirikizumab-mrkz or any of the excipients. ( 4 , 5.1 ).

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There will be a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to OMVOH during pregnancy. Pregnant women exposed to OMVOH and healthcare providers are encouraged to call Eli Lilly and Company at 1-800-Lilly-Rx (1-800-545-5979). Risk Summary Available data from case reports of mirikizumab-mrkz use in pregnant women are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Although there are no data on mirikizumab-mrkz, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta, and mirikizumab-mrkz may cause immunosuppression in the in utero-exposed infant. An enhanced pre- and post-natal development study conducted in pregnant monkeys at a dose 20 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) revealed no adverse developmental effects to the developing fetus, or harm to infant monkeys from birth through 6 months of age. There are risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with increased disease activity in women with inflammatory bowel disease (see Clinical Considerations) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with increased disease activity. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks gestation), low birth weight (less than 2500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth.
