Marla C. Dubinsky, DDW 2022: LUCENT-2 Study – Mirikizumab Maintenance Therapy in Moderate-to-Severe Ulcerative Colitis (Part 1)

The LUCENT-2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03524092) is a maintenance study of mirikizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). We were delighted to speak to Prof. Marla C. Dubinsky (Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA) around the rationale for the use of mirikizumab as a treatment for UC and the exciting clinical endpoints of this study.
