Study Summary

The main aim of the study is to learn if 4-weekly vedolizumab improves symptoms of Japanese participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). Vedolizumab is commercially available in Japan for 8-weekly treatment but not for 4-weekly treatment.

The study doctors will also monitor side effects from the study treatment.

This study will take place in Japan.

At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. For those who can take part, participants will receive vedolizumab intravenously once every 4 weeks. After 3 infusions of vedolizumab (which will be 12 weeks of treatment), the study doctor will assess if symptoms of the participants have improved.

Participants who do not have improved symptoms after 12 weeks of treatment with vedolizumab will stop this treatment. Then, they will visit the study clinic 16 weeks after their last infusion of vedolizumab for a final check-up.

Participants who have improved symptoms after 12 weeks of treatment with vedolizumab will continue to receive vedolizumab every 4 weeks. Then, after their last infusion of vedolizumab, the participants will visit the study clinic 16 weeks later for a final check-up. Finally, the study clinic will make a phone call to each participant 6 months after their last infusion to check if they have any health problems.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

UC cohort

  1. The participant has moderate to severe UC, who had previously shown clinicalresponse in initial treatment with commercially available vedolizumab IV, thenexperienced secondary loss of response during maintenance therapy with commerciallyavailable vedolizumab IV Q8W. Previous "clinical response" is to be judged by the investigators referring to oneof the following criteria.
  • Reduction of >=2 points and >=25% in modified Mayo score, and a decrease of >=1point in rectal bleeding subscore or rectal bleeding subscore of =<1, from thestart of initial treatment with commercially available vedolizumab IV.

  • Reduction of >=2 points and >=25% in partial Mayo score, and a decrease of >=1point in rectal bleeding subscore or rectal bleeding subscore of =<1, from thestart of initial treatment with commercially available vedolizumab IV.

  • Significant improvement on endoscopy (i.e., a decrease of >=2 points in Mayoendoscopic subscore).

"Secondary loss of response" is to be judged by the investigators referring to oneof the following criteria.

  • Increase of >=2 points in modified Mayo score, and an increase of >=1 point inrectal bleeding subscore or rectal bleeding subscore >=2, from the start ofmaintenance therapy with commercially available vedolizumab IV.

  • Increase of >=2 points in partial Mayo score, and an increase of >=1 point inrectal bleeding subscore or rectal bleeding subscore >=2, from the start ofmaintenance therapy with commercially available vedolizumab IV.

  • Significant deterioration on endoscopy (i.e., an increase of >=2 points in Mayoendoscopic subscore).

  1. The participant has active UC as determined by a modified Mayo score of >=5 atbaseline (within 10 days prior to the start of treatment phase), with a Mayo rectalbleeding subscore of >=1 at baseline (within 10 days prior to the start of treatmentphase) and a Mayo endoscopic subscore of >=1 as assessed by the central reader.

CD cohort

  1. The participant has moderate to severe CD, who had previously shown clinicalresponse in initial treatment with commercially available vedolizumab IV, thenexperienced secondary loss of response during maintenance therapy with commerciallyavailable vedolizumab IV Q8W. Previous "clinical response" is to be judged by the investigators referring to oneof the following criteria.
  • Reduction of >=70 points in CDAI score from the start of initial treatment withcommercially available vedolizumab IV.

  • Reduction of >=3 points in HBI score from the start of initial treatment withcommercially available vedolizumab IV.

"Secondary loss of response" is to be judged by the investigators referring to oneof the following criteria.

  • Increase of >=70 points in CDAI score from the start of maintenance therapywith commercially available vedolizumab IV.

  • Increase of >=3 points in HBI score from the start of maintenance therapy withcommercially available vedolizumab IV.

  1. The participant has active CD as determined by a CDAI score of >=220 at baseline (within 10 days prior to the start of treatment phase).

  2. The participant has a C-reactive protein (CRP) level >3.0 mg/L during the screeningphase.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The participant has had extensive colonic resection, subtotal or total colectomy.

  2. The participant has received any of the investigational or approved non-biologictherapies (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus or tofacitinib, except for thosespecifically listed as permitted medications) for the treatment of underlyingdisease within 30 days or 5 half-lives of screening (whichever is longer).

  3. The participant has received any investigational or approved biologic or biosimilaragent other than vedolizumab within 60 days or 5 half-lives of screening (whicheveris longer).

  4. The participant has a clinically significant active infection (e.g., pneumonia,pyelonephritis or coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]) within 30 days prior toscreening or during screening, or has an ongoing chronic infection.

  5. The participant has known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity tovedolizumab or closely related compounds, or any of the vedolizumab IV excipients.

  6. The participant has active cerebral/meningeal disease, or signs/symptoms ofprogressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) or any history of PML at screening.
