The purpose of this study is to assess the concentration of vedolizumab in breast milk of lactating women with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who are receiving vedolizumab therapeutically.
The drug being tested in this study is called vedolizumab. This post-marketing milk-only lactation study will assess concentrations of vedolizumab in breast milk of lactating women with active UC or CD who are receiving vedolizumab therapeutically. The study will enroll approximately 12 participants. All participants who received an established vedolizumab maintenance regimen or has completed induction therapy for the treatment of active UC or CD. 30-minute IV infusion of 300 mg vedolizumab. This multi-center trial will be conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is 3 months. Participants will make visits to clinic, study site or HCP office at Screening, Check-in (Day -1). Visits on Days 4, 8, 15, or 29 may be completed at the participant's home setting in the presence of a qualified nurse, or at a clinic, study site or other HCP office. The study exit/follow-up safety assessment will occur on Day 57(±3).

Concentration of Vedolizumab in Breast Milk at Predose on Day 1
Milk from each breast was completely emptied using an electric milk pump at the specified time point for the determination of vedolizumab concentrations in the milk. Analysis of vedolizumab concentration from the pooled milk sample was done by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Participants were categorized as per their past vedolizumab regimens, received prior to Day 1: vedolizumab every 4 weeks (Q4W), vedolizumab every 6 weeks (Q6W), vedolizumab every 8 weeks (Q8W).
Time frame: Day 1 (60 minutes prior to the start of infusion)
Concentration of Vedolizumab in Breast Milk at 1 Hour After the End of Infusion on Day 1
Milk from each breast was completely emptied using an electric milk pump at the specified time point for the determination of vedolizumab concentrations in the milk. Analysis of vedolizumab concentration from the pooled milk sample was done by ELISA. Participants were categorized as per their past vedolizumab regimens, received prior to Day 1: vedolizumab every 4 weeks (Q4W), vedolizumab every 6 weeks (Q6W), vedolizumab every 8 weeks (Q8W).
Time frame: Day 1 (approximately 60 minutes after the end of infusion)
Concentration of Vedolizumab in Breast Milk on Day 4
Milk from each breast was completely emptied using an electric milk pump at the specified time point for the determination of vedolizumab concentrations in the milk. Analysis of vedolizumab concentration from the pooled milk sample was done by ELISA. Participants unable to return to the clinic could have their milk samples collected at home by a qualified and trained homecare nurse. Participants were categorized as per their past vedolizumab regimens, received prior to Day 1: vedolizumab every 4 weeks (Q4W), vedolizumab every 6 weeks (Q6W), vedolizumab every 8 weeks (Q8W).
Time frame: Day 4
Concentration of Vedolizumab in Breast Milk on Day 8
Milk from each breast was completely emptied using an electric milk pump at the specified time point for the determination of vedolizumab concentrations in the milk. Analysis of vedolizumab concentration from the pooled milk sample was done by ELISA. Participants unable to return to the clinic could have their milk samples collected at home by a qualified and trained homecare nurse. Participants were categorized as per their past vedolizumab regimens, received prior to Day 1: vedolizumab every 4 weeks (Q4W), vedolizumab every 6 weeks (Q6W), vedolizumab every 8 weeks (Q8W).

Concentration of Vedolizumab in Breast Milk on Day 29
Milk from each breast was completely emptied using an electric milk pump at the specified time point for the determination of vedolizumab concentrations in the milk. Analysis of vedolizumab concentration from the pooled milk sample was done by ELISA. Participants unable to return to the clinic could have their milk samples collected at home by a qualified and trained homecare nurse. Participants were categorized as per their past vedolizumab regimens, received prior to Day 1: vedolizumab every 4 weeks (Q4W), vedolizumab every 6 weeks (Q6W), vedolizumab every 8 weeks (Q8W).
Time frame: Day 29
Concentration of Vedolizumab in Breast Milk on Day 57
Milk from each breast was completely emptied using an electric milk pump at the specified time point for the determination of vedolizumab concentrations in the milk in participants with analysis of vedolizumab concentration from the pooled milk sample was done by ELISA.
Time frame: Day 57
