Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Relationship Between Vedolizumab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Biomarkers of Inflammation and Clinical Outcomes (NCT NCT04567628)

NCT ID: NCT04567628

Last Updated: 2024-03-15

Results Overview

The relationship between vedolizumab TDM at Week 6 and FCP levels at Week 30 were studied using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Multivariate analyses were performed to control for possible confounding factors such as age, sex, disease type (CD/UC), duration, prior immunomodulator/biologic therapy, vedolizumab start and end dates, vedolizumab dose, vedolizumab frequency, and albumin. FCP was used as a surrogate marker for disease severity, and by extension drug efficacy. The FCP level was detected in participant's stool 30 weeks after the participant's first dose of vedolizumab. FCP was treated as a continuous variable for correlation analysis to determine Spearman's correlation coefficient. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in participants enrolled in the TDM Cohort.

Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 1 investigative site in Canada from 05 October 2020 to 22 September 2021.

Data of participants diagnosed with moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)- Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) was analyzed retrospectively in this observational study. Total of 7873 participants entered the patient support program, out of which 5194 participants met study criteria, had non-missing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) Week 6 values, and were analyzed.

Population: Analyzed participants included all participants who were not screen failures, met all the inclusion criteria and had enough information about response to the biological treatment. Overall number analyzed are the number of participants with data available for analyses.

Disease activity scores of CD participants were based on HBI. It consists of clinical parameters: general well-being (0 = very well to 4 = terrible), abdominal pain (0 = none to 3 = severe), number of liquid or soft stools per day, abdominal mass (0 = none to 3 = definite and tender), and complications (8 items; 1 score per item). The total score is sum of sub scores, where score \<5 = remission, 5 to 7 = mild disease activity, 8 to 16 = moderate disease activity and \>16 = severe disease activity. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in participants with CD.

Population: Analyzed participants included all participants who were not screen failures, met all the inclusion criteria and had enough information about response to the biological treatment. Overall number analyzed are the number of participants with data available for analyses.

Disease activity scores of UC participants were based on Partial Mayo score. It consists of 3 sub-scores: stool pattern, 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 are summed to give a total score range of 0 to 9. Here, higher scores indicate more severe disease. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in participants with UC.
