Vedolizumab for the Treatment of Collagenous Gastritis
- Registration Number
- NCT06317220
- Lead Sponsor
- Massachusetts General Hospital
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how vedolizumab may affect patients with collagenous gastritis (CG). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Whether vedolizumab can reduce CG symptoms
* Whether vedolizumab is safe to take for patients with CG
Participants in this study will:
* Receive vedolizumab through an IV ("infusion")
* Complete a survey at each infusion visit
* Have blood collected at each infusion visit
* Undergo an endoscopy with biopsy at 2 timepoints
- Detailed Description
Eligible participants will receive vedolizumab through an IV ("infusion") at week 0, then week 2, then week 6. Participants who respond well to the treatment after the first 3 infusions and are interested in continuing will receive vedolizumab every 8 weeks for about 1 year. At each visit, participants will be asked about their collagenous gastritis symptoms and any changes in their health or medications.
Blood samples will be collected from participants at every vedolizumab infusion. Some of these samples will be collected for safety purposes, some will be collected to monitor CG progression, and some will be collected for research purposes.
During the screening period and a few months after beginning treatment, the study doctor will perform an upper endoscopy to help determine whether vedolizumab has improved each participant's CG. An upper endoscopy is a procedure where the doctor inserts a small tube with a camera through the mouth and down the throat to look at the upper gastrointestinal tract (the esophagus, stomach, and part of the small intestine). During the procedure, biopsies will be collected to monitor CG and for research purposes. All participants will be given medication to make them comfortable throughout the duration of the procedure, which lasts approximately 10 to 30 minutes.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Vedolizumab 300mg Vedolizumab * Dose: 300mg * Administration: Intravenous (IV) * Frequency: Weeks 0, 2, 6, and then every 8 weeks * Duration: 54 weeks (1 year)
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in symtpoms 12 Weeks Change in symptoms associated with collagenous gastritis after 12 weeks of vedolizumab treatment, measured via patient-reported symptom questionnaire scores collected at each visit. Response is defined as a decrease of at least 1 Grade (DAIDS) in the most severe symptom reported at baseline. Surveys will be scored from 0 to 38, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms and lower outcomes indicating no symptoms or more mild symptoms.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Histologic response 12 weeks (+/- 4 weeks) Histologic response to vedolizumab will be assessed by comparing gastric histology from on-treatment biopsies and, if available, compared to baseline (within 1 year) gastric histology
Response durability 54 Weeks Durability of symptomatic response to vedolizumab over the first year of treatment will be measured via patient-reported symptom questionnaire scores collected at each visit. Surveys will be scored from 0 to 38, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms and lower outcomes indicating no symptoms or more mild symptoms.
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (safety) 54 Weeks Safety will be assessed by adverse event (AE) rates throughout the first year of treatment. Severity will be graded according to the DAIDS grading table (v2.1).
