ABSTRACT

Background: Vedolizumab, an anti-α4ß7 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, Australia, and Canada. Our aim was to evaluate efficacy and safety of IV and SC vedolizumab in clinically relevant UC and CD scenarios. Methods: Post hoc data analyses from VISIBLE trials examined: (1) whether baseline characteristics predict clinical response to 2 vs 3 IV vedolizumab induction doses; (2) efficacy and safety of switching during maintenance vedolizumab IV to SC in patients with UC; (3) vedolizumab SC after treatment interruption of 1-46 weeks; (4) increasing dose frequency of vedolizumab SC from every 2 weeks (Q2W) to every week (QW) after disease worsening. Results: No baseline characteristics were identified as strong predictors of response to 2 vs 3 vedolizumab infusions. Most patients achieved clinical response after 2 or 3 doses of IV vedolizumab maintained with SC treatment. Clinical remission and response rates were maintained in patients transitioned from maintenance vedolizumab IV to SC treatment. Of patients with UC, ≥75% achieved response following resumption after dose interruption. Escalation to QW dosing resulted in ≥45% of patients regaining response after loss while receiving vedolizumab Q2W. Conclusions: Clinical real-world scenarios with vedolizumab SC were reviewed using VISIBLE studies data. Vedolizumab SC provides an additional dosing option for patients with UC and CD.
