Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine whether vedolizumab is present in significant quantities in the stool of patients receiving induction therapy with vedolizumab for active UC.;Primary end point(s): Our primary endpoint is the identification and quantification of vedolizumab loss in faecal samples of patients with active UC. Following this, the correlation between faecal and serum vedolizumab concentrations will be evaluated; Secondary Objective: 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. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, week 2, week 6 and week 14. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Assessment of the impact of faecal vedolizumab concentrations on rates of clinical and endoscopic response to induction therapy with vedolizumab. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, weeks 2, 6 and 14 | — |
