Study of Vedolizumab Following Multiple Intravenous Doses in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis

Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.47 enrolled

Overview

The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of vedolizumab in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).

At the end of the study, eligible participants could enroll and receive treatment and follow-up in Study C13004 (NCT00619489). Participants who did not proceed into Study C13004 were followed by telephone contact at 6-month intervals for 2 years after the last administration of study treatment to collect reports of adverse events, including colectomy, severe infections \[including progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)\], and dysplasia/cancer.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Adverse Events

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. The investigator systematically collected information adequate to determine both the outcome and severity of the AE, and whether or not it was drug-related or met the criteria for classification as a serious adverse event (SAE). An SAE was defined as an AE that resulted in (or posed risk for) death, inpatient hospitalization (or prolonging hospitalization), or congenital, persistent or significant disability/incapacity. The intensity for each AE was defined according to the following criteria: Mild: Awareness of sign or symptom, but easily tolerated Moderate: Discomfort enough to cause interference with normal daily activities Severe: Inability to perform normal daily activities.

Time frame: From the first date of study drug administration through Day 253

Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of Vedolizumab on Days 1 and 85

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) is the peak plasma concentration of a drug after administration, obtained directly from the plasma concentration-time curve.

Time frame: Days 1 and 85, prior to and 2, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing.

Cmin: Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration of Vedolizumab

Minimum observed plasma concentration (Cmin) is the lowest plasma concentration of a drug after administration, obtained directly from the plasma concentration-time curve.

Time frame: Day 85, prior to and 2, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) for Vedolizumab

AUC was calculated for 3 time intervals during the study: 1. AUC (Day 0-14): from administration on Day 0 to last quantifiable concentration on Day 14, selected to capture the AUC following the first dose of vedolizumab until administration of the second dose 2. AUC(Day 85-99): from administration on Day 85 to last quantifiable concentration on Day 99, selected to assess the amount of drug accumulation with the planned loading regimen by comparing it to AUC(Day 0-14) 3. AUC(Day 85-141): from the first quantifiable concentration on Day 85 to the last quantifiable concentration on Day 141, selected to assess the drug exposure over an 8-week period
