| Statistical evaluation a. the proportion of Crohn's disease patients with a reduction in bowel wall thickness of = 25% at week 14 compared to baseline at baseline of the induction phase (yes / no) with b. the proportion of Crohn's disease patients without a reduction in bowel wall thickness of = 25% at week 14 compared to the baseline baseline of the induction phase (yes / no), who responded to vedolizumab after 14 weeks (end of induction therapy) compared to those who did not respond. Statistical evaluation a. of the proportion of ulcerative colitis patients with a reduction in iliac wall thickness of = 25% at week 14 compared to baseline in induction baseline (yes / no) with b. the proportion of ulcerative colitis patients without a reduction in bowel wall thickness of = 25% at week 14 compared to the baseline baseline of the induction phase (yes / no), who have responded clinically to vedolizumab after 14 weeks (end of induction therapy) compared to those who did not respond. Statistical evaluation a. the proportion of Crohn's disease patients with an increase in bowel wall thickness of = 25% within any time point in the maintenance phase compared to baseline at baseline of remission (yes / no) with b. Crohn's disease Patients with no increase in bowel wall thickness of = 25% within any stage in the maintenance phase compared to baseline baseline (yes / no). who responded to vedolizumab after 14 weeks (end of induction therapy) and relapsed later in the remission compared to those who did not relapse. Statistical evaluation a. of the proportion of ulcerative colitis patients with an increase in bowel wall thickness of = 25% within any time point in the maintenance phase compared to baseline in the baseline of remission (yes / no) with b. the proportion of ulcerative colitis patients with no increase in bowel wall thickness of = 25% within any stage of maintenance compared to baseline baseline (yes / no). who responded to vedolizumab after 14 weeks (end of inducti | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analogous to the formulation of the primary target criterion, all parameters of the intestinal sonography should be investigated: 1. Separated for mucosa and submucosa 2. Separated for the individual intestinal sections Furthermore, it will be investigated: 1. Correlation between parameters of the intestinal sonography and the clinical parameters; 2. Correlation between parameters of colon ultrasonography and the endoscopic parameters; 3. Correlation between calprotectin and clinical relapse in the maintenance phase; 4. Correlation between CRP and clinical relapse in the maintenance phase; 5. Frequencies of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). | — |
