A Study of Vedolizumab in Adult Participants With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT05837897
- Lead Sponsor
- Takeda
- Brief Summary
This is a study to evaluate vedolizumab for injection (300 mg) as a safe and active treatment for Crohn's Disease in adults in China. Participants will receive an injection of Vedolizumab 300 mg at scheduled weeks 0, 2, and 6, and starting at week 14, every 8 weeks over 58 weeks or starting at week 18, every 4 weeks over 54 weeks. There will be up to 20 study visits over 58 weeks to complete assessments.
- Detailed Description
The drug being tested in this study is called vedolizumab. Vedolizumab will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion in Chinese participants. This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of vedolizumab IV in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease (CD).
The study will enroll approximately 408 patients. Participants will be randomized into 2:1 in the Induction Period to receive:
* Vedolizumab IV 300 mg
* Placebo
All participants completing the Week 14 visit, irrespective of their response status, will continue in the OLE without unblinding of their baseline treatment group and will receive 300 mg vedolizumab once every 8 weeks (Q8W) starting from Week 14. Starting at Week 18 and throughout the remainder of the OLE, participants who are nonresponders or who have disease worsening based on the assessment by visit every 4 weeks, are eligible to receive 300 mg vedolizumab once every 4 weeks (Q4W).
This multi-center trial will be conducted in China. The overall time participants will be in this study is approximately 58 weeks. Participants will make a final safety follow-up visit at 18 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Participants will also be followed-up for a long-term follow-up safety survey after completion of or early termination from study via telephone, 6 months after last dose of study drug.

Group Intervention Description Induction Period: Vedolizumab 300 mg Vedolizumab IV Participants will receive vedolizumab 300 mg IV infusion on Days 1,15, and 43 (Weeks 0, 2, and 6) in the 14-week Induction Period. Induction Period: Placebo Placebo Participants will receive vedolizumab placebo-matching IV, infusion on Days 1,15, and 43 (Weeks 0, 2, and 6) in the 14-week Induction Period. Open-label Extension (OLE) Period: Vedolizumab 300 mg Vedolizumab IV All participants completing the Week 14 visit, irrespective of their response status, will continue in the OLE without unblinding of their baseline treatment group and will receive vedolizumab 300 mg, IV infusion, Q8W, on Days 99, 155, 211, 267, 323, and 379 (Weeks 14, 22, 30, 38, 46 and 54).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 14 Up to Week 14 Clinical response is defined as ≥8 point decrease in 2-component patient-reported outcome (PRO2) score from baseline. The PRO2 is constituted by abdominal pain and number of liquid stools components of the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). The PRO-2 score is the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score. The average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2 for stool frequency and 5 for abdominal pain).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Week 14 Up to Week 14 Clinical remission is defined as PRO2 score \<8 from baseline. The PRO2 is comprised of the stool frequency and abdominal pain components of the CDAI. The PRO-2 score is the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score. The average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2 for stool frequency and 5 for abdominal pain).
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Response at Week 14 Up to Week 14 Endoscopic response is defined as Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) reduction by ≥50%. The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of the surface area that is ulcerated, percentage of the surface area affected, and presence and type of narrowings in 5 colonic segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum). The score for each endoscopic variable is sum of values obtained for each segment. The SES-CD total is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 60, where higher scores indicate more severe disease.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Both Clinical Response and Endoscopic Response at Week 14 Up to Week 14 Clinical response:≥8 point decrease in PRO2 score from baseline. Endoscopic response:SES-CD reduction by ≥50%.PRO2:number of liquid stools and abdominal pain components of the CDAI. PRO-2 score:sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score.Average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (0=no pain and 3=severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2= stool frequency;5= abdominal pain).Negative change indicates clinical response achieved.SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of the surface area that is ulcerated, percentage of the surface area affected, and presence of narrowings) in 5 colonic segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum).Score for each endoscopic variable=sum of values obtained for each segment.SES-CD total=sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 60, where higher scores=more severe disease.
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) and AEs Leading to Discontinuation From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks) AE:any untoward medical occurrence in clinical investigation participants administered a drug;it does not necessarily have to have causal relationship with treatment.SAE:any untoward medical occurrence that:1)results in death,2)is life-threatening,3)requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,4)results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity,5)leads to a congenital anomaly/birth defect in offspring of participant or6)is medically important event that satisfies any of following:a)May require intervention to prevent items 1 through 5 above.b)May expose participant to danger,even though event is not immediately life threatening or fatal or does not result in hospitalization.AESI:serious infections,opportunistic infections such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy(PML);liver injury;malignancies;infusion-related reactions,injection site reactions,systemic reactions,and hypersensitivity.
Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Change from Baseline in Vital Sign Values From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks) Vital signs assessment will include body temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and pulse (beats per minute). Abnormal values will be determined by the investigator.
Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Change from Baseline in Laboratory Values From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks) Laboratory parameter assessment will include hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis. Abnormal values will be determined by the central lab.
Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Change from Baseline in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Values From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks) The ECG results will be interpreted using 1 of the following categories: within normal limits, abnormal but not clinically significant, or abnormal and clinically significant. Abnormal values are determined by the investigator.
