Summary Background Vedolizumab, a gut‐selective α 4 β 7 integrin antibody, is approved for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Aim To report the final results from vedolizumab GEMINI long‐term safety (LTS) study. Methods The phase 3, open‐label LTS study (initiated May 2009) enrolled patients with UC or CD four prior clinical trials vedolizumab‐naïve patients. Vedolizumab was evaluated; efficacy patient‐reported outcomes were exploratory endpoints....

To date, there are no systematic pharmacokinetic [PK] data on vedolizumab in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. We report results from HUBBLE, a dose-ranging, phase 2 trial evaluating the PK, safety and efficacy of intravenous for IBD.Enrolled patients [aged 2-17 years] with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis [UC] or Crohn's [CD] body weight ≥10 kg were randomized by receive low- high-dose [≥30 kg, 150 300 mg; <30 100 200 mg] Day 1 Weeks 2, 6 14.

Wireless capsule endoscopy (CE) was introduced in 2000 as a less invasive method to visualize the distal small bowel adults. Because this technology has advanced it been adapted for use pediatric gastroenterology. Several studies have described its clinical use, utility, and various training methods but literature regarding CE is limited. This report developed by Endoscopic Procedures Committee of North American Society Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology Nutrition outlines current...

Despite a growing number of new therapeutic options for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), no clinical studies to date have directly compared two biologic agents. We performed head-to-head study the efficacy and safety vedolizumab (VDZ) adalimumab (ADA) treatment over 52 weeks in adults with moderately severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). This was phase 3b, double-blind, double-dummy, multi-centre, active-controlled trial enrolling patients UC (Mayo score 6 12 endoscopic sub-score ≥2) who...

Abstract Patients in the GEMINI 1 or 2 study (NCT00790933; Eudra CT2008‐002784‐14) with ulcerative colitis Crohn disease had low immunogenicity rates after vedolizumab treatment for up to 52 weeks. We report from long‐term safety (LTS) using a new drug‐tolerant electrochemiluminescence assay, including analyses patients who received continuous induction and maintenance long term safety, placebo followed by re‐treatment (treatment interruption). were enrolled 1, 2, 3, as de novo...

Missing data is common in clinical trials. Depending on the volume and nature of missing data, it may reduce statistical power for detecting treatment difference, introduce potential bias invalidate conclusions. Non-responder imputation (NRI), where patients with information to determine endpoint status are considered as failures, widely used handle dichotomous efficacy endpoints inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) However, does not consider mechanisms leading can potentially underestimate...

With recent advances in machine learning, we demonstrated the use of supervised learning to optimize prediction treatment outcomes vedolizumab through iterative optimization using VARSITY and VISIBLE 1 data patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. The analysis was carried out elastic net regularized regression following a 2-stage training process. model performance assessed AUROC, specificity, sensitivity, accuracy. generalizable predictive patterns suggest that easily obtained...

Abstract Background In VARSITY, the first head-to-head randomized controlled trial of biologics, vedolizumab (VDZ) was superior vs adalimumab (ADA) in achieving clinical remission (CR) at Week 52 patients (pts) with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).1 Current treatment goals UC are based on symptoms and endoscopy, histologic improvement considered an aspirational goal.2-4 pts CR greater differences between VDZ ADA were seen endoscopic response. Here, data from VARSITY used define...

BACKGROUND: Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a gut-selective, humanized monoclonal antibody approved for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Although VDZ efficacy safety are well established, there limited publications on longer-term (&gt;3 years) treatment persistence. This study evaluated persistence up 5 years in GEMINI long-term (LTS) de novo cohort. METHODS: All patients LTS (NCT00790933) were treated with every 4 weeks. A post hoc analysis of data from...

Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a safe and effective treatment for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) Crohn’s disease (CD); however, effects on surgical rates have not yet been evaluated. This study aimed (1) compare the incidence of VDZ placebo (PLA) in GEMINI I (UC; NCT00783718) II (CD; NCT00783692); (2) describe through year 5 from LTS trial (UC CD; NCT00790933). Data were pooled Week 6 induction responders who randomised or PLA maintenance (intent-to-treat [ITT] populations) I1...
