Core Tip Dual biologic therapy (DBT) is a promising treatment option for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) who have limited therapeutic alternatives. We presented the first case of a patient with extensive UC treated with mirikizumab and vedolizumab due to contraindications to tumor necrosis factor and Janus kinase inhibitors. The combination of mirikizumab and vedolizumab led to sustained clinical and biochemical remission without adverse events. Our case highlighted the therapeutic potential and safety of DBT in selected patients, reinforcing the need for individualized treatment strategies in complex clinical scenarios.
