Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess Clinical Effectiveness and Safety of Vedolizumab Intravenous in Real World Clinical Practice in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Korean Participants (NCT NCT03535649)

NCT ID: NCT03535649

Last Updated: 2019-12-23

Results Overview

Clinical response based on partial Mayo score was defined as a reduction of at least 3 points and a decrease of at least 30 percent (%) from the baseline Mayo score, with a decrease of at least 1 point on the rectal bleeding subscale, or an absolute rectal bleeding score of 0 or 1. Mayo score was an instrument designed to measure disease activity of UC. Partial Mayo score consisted of 3 sub-scores: stool frequency, most severe rectal bleeding of the day, and global assessment by physician, each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These scores were summed to give a total score range of 0 to 9; where higher score indicated more severe disease.

Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 13 investigative sites in South Korea from 17 August 2017 to 18 December 2018.

Participants with a diagnosis of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), having failed tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antagonist therapy and who have been prescribed vedolizumab intravenously under standard clinical practice were enrolled in this observational study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 6

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) consisted all enrolled participants who received at least one dose of study medication and had active disease at baseline. Here, overall number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Clinical response based on partial Mayo score was defined as a reduction of at least 3 points and a decrease of at least 30 percent (%) from the baseline Mayo score, with a decrease of at least 1 point on the rectal bleeding subscale, or an absolute rectal bleeding score of 0 or 1. Mayo score was an instrument designed to measure disease activity of UC. Partial Mayo score consisted of 3 sub-scores: stool frequency, most severe rectal bleeding of the day, and global assessment by physician, each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These scores were summed to give a total score range of 0 to 9; where higher score indicated more severe disease.

Clinical response was defined as a reduction of at least 3 points and a decrease of at least 30% from the baseline mayo score, with a decrease of at least 1 point on the rectal bleeding subscale, or an absolute rectal bleeding score of 0 or 1. Mayo score was an instrument designed to measure disease activity of UC. Partial Mayo score consisted of 3 sub-scores: stool frequency, most severe rectal bleeding of the day, endoscopic findings and global assessment by physician, each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These scores are summed to give a total score range of 0 to 9. Here, higher scores indicated more severe disease.
