About this trial

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD) are long-term conditions in the gut that can cause diarrhea, swelling (inflammation), bleeding from the anus, and belly pain. The main aim of this study is to check for how many participants with UC and CD signs and symptoms disappear after 3.5 months (14 weeks) of treatment with Vedolizumab (this is called remission).

Participants will be treated with Vedolizumab for approximately 1 year (50 weeks). During the first 1.5 months (6 weeks), participants will receive Vedolizumab as an infusion in the vein (called intravenously). After this, participants will receive Vedolizumab as an injection under the skin (called subcutaneously) for the rest of the treatment. Participants for whom the treatment does not seem to work well after 3.5 months (14 weeks) will stop treatment with Vedolizumab and can change to another treatment and also there will be additional required visits at 6 months (26 weeks) and at 1 year (52 weeks). All participants will be checked again 4.5 months (18 weeks) after their last treatment with Vedolizumab.

During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

In the investigator's opinion, the participant can understand and comply with protocol requirements.

The participant signs and dates an electronic informed consent form (ICF) and any required privacy authorization prior to any study procedures.

The participant is 18 to 80 years of age at the time of signing the ICF.

The participant's immunization is up to date per vedolizumab US prescribing information (USPI).

Disqualifiers

Received approved or investigational anti-integrin antibodies (i.e., vedolizumab, natalizumab, efalizumab, etrolizumab, abrilumab [AMG 181]) at any time prior to screening.

Failed (primary or secondary nonresponse) on more than 2 prior advanced treatments.

Use of corticosteroid enemas/suppositories within 2 weeks prior to screening (for UC and CD).

In the investigator's opinion, the participant meets any contraindication, warnings and precautions, drug interactions, or special population considerations per the vedolizumab USPI, or has a medical history or known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to vedolizumab or its excipients.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percentage of CD Participants With 2-item Patient-reported Outcome Measure (PRO-2) Remission at Week 14

PRO-2 remission is defined as 7-day average of very soft or liquid stool frequency (SF) less than and equal to (\<=) 2.8, 7-day average of abdominal pain (AP) score \<= 1.0, and neither worse than baseline.

Time frame
At Week 14
2

Percentage of UC Participants With PRO-2 Remission at Week 14

PRO-2 remission is defined as Mayo rectal bleeding sub-score of 0 and stool frequency sub-score \<=1.

Time frame
At Week 14

Secondary outcomes

1

Percentage of CD and UC Participants With PRO-2 Remission at Weeks 6 and 52

PRO-2 remission for CD participants is defined as 7-day average of very soft or liquid SF \<= 2.8, 7-day average of AP score \<= 1.0, and neither worse than baseline. PRO-2 remission for UC participants is defined as Mayo rectal bleeding sub-score of 0 and stool frequency sub-score \<=1.

Time frame
At Weeks 6 and 52
2

Percentage of CD and UC Participants With Clinical Response at Weeks 6, 14, and 52

CD clinical response is defined as greater than and equal to (\>=) 100 points decrease from baseline in CDAI score. UC clinical response is defined as reduction in complete Mayo score of \>=3 points and \>=30 percent (%) from baseline with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding sub-score of \>=1 point or absolute rectal bleeding sub-score of \<=1 point or an absolute rectal bleeding sub-score of \<=1 point, or a reduction in partial Mayo score of \>=2 points and \>=25% from baseline, if complete Mayo score was not performed at visit.

Time frame
At Weeks 6, 14, and 52
3

Percentage of CD Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 52

Endoscopic response is defined as a \>=50% reduction from baseline in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score. SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables: the intestinal surface affected by ulcers, the intestinal surface affected by other inflammatory lesions, the presence of ulcers, and the presence of narrowing.

Time frame
At Week 52
4

Percentage of CD Participants Achieving Endoscopic Remission at Week 52

Endoscopic remission as per SES-CD is defined as a SES-CD score of 0 to 4, with no individual sub-score greater than 1. SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables: the intestinal surface affected by ulcers, the intestinal surface affected by other inflammatory lesions, the presence of ulcers, and the presence of narrowing.

Time frame
At Week 52
