November 12, 2025 updated by: Takeda

Complete Remission in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease Treated With Vedolizumab - A Multicenter, Prospective Observational Cohort Study in Canada, Italy, and Israel

The main aim of this study is to see if adults with CD treated with vedolizumab have less symptoms and inflammation of the bowel assessed by ultrasonography.

Detailed Description

This is a non-interventional, prospective study of participants with moderately to severely active CD who are initiating treatment with vedolizumab according to the current summary of product characteristics (SmPC) in the real world setting.

The study will enroll approximately 100 participants. The data will be collected prospectively at the study sites and will be recorded into electronic case report forms (e-CRFs). All the participants will be assigned to a single observational cohort:

Participants with CD

This multi-center study will be conducted in Canada, Italy, and Israel at specialized gastroenterology centers. The overall duration of the study will be 18 months.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Complete Remission 12 Months After Initiation of Vedolizumab Therapy
Time Frame: Baseline up to 12 months
Complete remission will be measured by corticosteroid-free clinical, biochemical and transmural remission.Corticosteroid-free defined as no usage of any systemic or locally acting steroid.Corticosteroid-free clinical remission defined as Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) less than (<) 5 points and no concomitant corticosteroids.HBI score measures disease activity of CD. Clinical parameters:general well-being (0-4,higher score lower well being),abdominal pain(0-3,higher score more severe pain),number of liquid stools/day, abdominal mass (0-3),higher score presence of swelling in abdomen),complications (score 1/item).Total is sum of individual parameters.Score:minimum 0-no pre-specified maximum score,depends on number of liquid stools, higher scores indicating more severe disease.Biochemical remission defined as C-reactive protein(CRP) and fecal calprotectin (FCal) normalization.Transmural remission defined as bowel wall thickness(BWT) of <3 millimeter (mm) for all bowel segments upon IUS.
Baseline up to 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
