A few days ago, Eli Lilly said it would abandon the regulatory application for mirikizumab to treat psoriasis, although this IgG4 monoclonal antibody performed better than Novartis’ Cosentyx in last year’s phase 3 trial.
According to Eli Lilly’s latest financial report for the first quarter of 2021, Eli Lilly’s sales increased by 17% and revenue increased by 16%.
However, the most noticeable announcement in this financial report is Eli Lilly's decision to abandon the submission of the psoriasis treatment drug mirikizumab to the regulatory application.
The results of the trial showed that compared with placebo, patients who received mirikizumab met the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints in the 16th week.
However, the latest news shows that Eli Lilly does not intend to submit a regulatory application for mirikizumab in the field of psoriasis in any country or region.
However, this decision does not mean that Eli Lilly has completely abandoned the development of mirikizumab, but will focus its attention on ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Although Stelara has been approved for use in ulcerative colitis, Eli Lilly believes that Stelara can only target IL-23 instead of attacking IL-12 and IL-23 at the same time, so mirikizumab has the potential to surpass the efficacy of Stelara.
