The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of LY4268989 when given with mirikizumab compared to mirikizumab alone in adult participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
Study participation will last approximately 118 weeks, including 104 weeks of treatment and may include up to 21 visits.
- Conditions
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Being tested
- LY4268989, Mirikizumab, LY4268989 Placebo
- Medical subject headings

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Clinical Remission with Modified Mayo Score (mMS)
The mMS is a composite score reported by participants and physician and is comprised of the following 3 subscores: Stool Frequency (SF); Rectal Bleeding (RB), and Endoscopic Subscore (ES).
Clinical remission (mMS) is defined as:
- SF subscore = 0 or 1 and no greater than baseline
- RB subscore = 0
- Centrally read ES = 0 or 1; score of 1 modified to exclude friability
Measured: Week 12

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of LY4268989 when given with mirikizumab compared to mirikizumab alone in adult participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
Study participation will last approximately 118 weeks, including 104 weeks of treatment and may include up to 21 visits.

- Sex
- All
- Healthy volunteers
- Not accepted
- Age groups
- Adult, Older adult
Key inclusion criteria (12 listed)
- Have had an established diagnosis of UC of ≥3 months in before baseline, which includes endoscopic evidence of UC and a histopathology report that supports a diagnosis of UC
- Have moderately to severely active UC as defined by a mMS of 5 to 9 with an ES ≥2 confirmed by central reader at screening endoscopy and RB ≥1.
- Participants with greater than 8 years of UC symptoms have documented evidence of having had a surveillance colonoscopy within 1 year, or according to local country or regional medical guidelines, to evaluate for polyps, dysplasia, or malignancy, prior to randomization
- Are up-to-date on colorectal cancer surveillance per local society guidelines
- Have an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least 1 of the medications:
Key exclusion criteria (9 listed)
- Have a current diagnosis of
- Have had or will need bowel resection or intestinal or intra-abdominal surgery
- Have evidence of toxic megacolon, intra-abdominal abscess, or stricture or stenosis within small bowel or colon that cannot be traversed by a colonoscope or that are symptomatic
- Have any adenomatous polyp occurring in areas of the colon not involved by colitis, that has not been removed
- Note: If such an adenomatous polyp has been completely removed and shows only low-grade dysplasia, this criterion would no longer apply
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Clinical Remission with Modified Mayo Score (mMS)
Time frame: Week 12
The mMS is a composite score reported by participants and physician and is comprised of the following 3 subscores: Stool Frequency (SF); Rectal Bleeding (RB), and Endoscopic Subscore (ES). Clinical remission (mMS) is defined as: * SF subscore = 0 or 1 and no greater than baseline * RB subscore = 0 * Centrally read ES = 0 or 1; score of 1 modified to exclude friability

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing LY4268989 and Mirikizumab in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 147 sites in 17 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 147 sites in United States, Brazil, China, Mexico, Poland and 12 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Trial questions or participation questions: 1-877-CTLILLY (1-877-285-4559) or (1-317-615-4559, LillyTrials@Lilly.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Clinical Remission with Modified Mayo Score (mMS) (time frame: Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
