Background Vedolizumab, an anti-α4β7 integrin approved for intravenous (IV) treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), was evaluated as a subcutaneous (SC) formulation in maintenance therapy for UC and CD in phase 3 VISIBLE 1, 2, and open-label extension studies, and recently approved in Europe, Aus...

Context 1
... patients included in VISIBLE 1 or 2 were adults aged 18-80 years with moderately to severely active UC or CD who previously had an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to corticosteroid, immunomodulator, or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. 10,16 In both trials, after a 28-day screening period, patients received open-label vedolizumab 300 mg IV at weeks 0 and 2, and were evaluated for clinical response at week 6 ( Figure S1, VISIBLE 1 and VISIBLE 2 study designs). Inclusion and exclusion criteria for VISIBLE 1 and 2 are shown in Table S1, study inclusion and exclusion criteria for VISIBLE 1, and Table S2, study inclusion and exclusion criteria for VISIBLE 2. ...

... higher percentage of nonresponders had extensive colitis, especially at week 14. Partial Mayo scores in UC ( Figure 1A), mean CDAI total scores (Figure 2A), mean daily abdominal pain scores in CD ( Figure 2B), and daily average liquid or soft stool scores ( Figure 2C) were similar in both groups of responders at baseline, and were substantially different at week 6 before becoming similar again at week 14, suggesting there may not be long-term differences between the 2 groups of responders. Similar patterns were observed for rectal bleeding and stool frequency in UC (Figures 1B and 1C). ...

Similar patterns were observed for rectal bleeding and stool frequency in UC (Figures 1B and 1C). Mean (SD) fecal calprotectin concentrations at both baseline and week 6 were lower among patients who responded after 2 IV doses (2608.7 [3354.8] ...
