研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to study the loss of vedolizumab in stool in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC).
Patients with moderate-to-severe UC who are commencing induction therapy with vedolizumab will be enrolled into a prospective study and stool will be collected for faecal vedolizumab measurement at days 1, 4 and 7; and again at weeks 2, 6 and 14. They will also be evaluated at three time-points (weeks 2, 6 and 14) for clinical and biochemical UC disease activity as well as serum vedolizumab concentrations and anti-vedolizumab antibodies.
详细描述
Primary objective
- To determine whether vedolizumab is present in significant quantities in the stool of patients receiving induction therapy with vedolizumab for active UC.
Secondary objective (s)
- To evaluate whether the presence and quantity of vedolizumab in stool can be used to predict primary non-response to vedolizumab.
- To explore whether a correlation exists between stool vedolizumab concentrations, serum vedolizumab concentrations and UC disease activity and extent.
- To determine whether there is a correlation between stool and serum vedolizumab levels and trafficking of Th1/Th17 effector memory CD4+ T-cells (the key pathogenic subset in IBD) to the colon in UC.
