Vedolizumab in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis- Comparison With Infliximab
- Registration Number
- NCT06614387
- Lead Sponsor
- JAROSLAW KIERKUS
- Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study to compare the safety, effectiveness and immunogenicity (antibodies against drug) of two biological drugs administered intravenously - vedolizumab (a drug not registered in pediatric patients) and infliximab (used as standard therapy), in pediatric patients with UC aged 6-18 years.
Before enrollment to the study, informed consent must be obtained from the participant's legal guardian and, additionally, from the participant aged \>16 years before any procedures are performed.

Group Intervention Description Infliximab arm Infliximab Patients meeting the inclusion criteria and not having any of the exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to one of two study arms - intravenous administration of blinded active drug, infliximab or vedolizumab at weeks 0, 2, 6 and 14. Infliximab will be administered at a dose 5mg/kg body weight, and vedolizumab at a dose of 300 mg (body mass \> 40 kg) and 10 mg/kg (body mass \< 40kg). Vedolizumab arm Infliximab Patients meeting the inclusion criteria and not having any of the exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to one of two study arms - intravenous administration of blinded active drug, infliximab or vedolizumab at weeks 0, 2, 6 and 14. Infliximab will be administered at a dose 5mg/kg body weight, and vedolizumab at a dose of 300 mg (body mass \> 40 kg) and 10 mg/kg (body mass \< 40kg).
