Study Summary

The main aim of this study is to learn how the body of a child or teenager with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) processes vedolizumab (pharmacokinetics) given just under the skin subcutaneously (SC).

The participants will be treated with vedolizumab for up to 34 weeks.

During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The participant weighs ≥10 kg at the time of screening and enrollment into thestudy.

  2. Participants with UC or CD diagnosed at least 1 month before screening. Participantswith moderately to severely active disease defined as:

  • Participants with UC: a modified Mayo score of 5 to 9 (sum of Mayo endoscopicsubscore, stool frequency subscore, and rectal bleeding subscore) with a Mayoendoscopic subscore of ≥2 (with the presence of mucosal friability excluding anendoscopic subscore of 1 and mandating a score of at least 2). (The results ofscreening endoscopy should be applied.)

  • Participants with CD: a pediatric Crohn's disease activity index (PCDAI) >30and a simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) >6 (or an SES-CD ≥4if disease is confined to terminal ileum) at screening endoscopy.

  1. Participants who have failed, lost response to, or been intolerant to treatment withat least 1 of the following agents: corticosteroids, immunomodulators (for example,azathioprine [AZA], 6-mercaptopurine [6-MP], methotrexate [MTX]), and/or tumornecrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonist therapy (for example, infliximab, adalimumab).

  2. Participants with evidence of UC extending proximal to the rectum (that is, notlimited to proctitis), at a minimum.

  3. Participants with extensive colitis or pancolitis of >8 years' duration orleft-sided colitis of >12 years' duration must have documented evidence of anegative surveillance colonoscopy within 12 months before screening.

  4. Participants with vaccinations that are up-to-date based on the countrywide acceptedschedule of childhood vaccines.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants who have had previous exposure to approved or investigationalanti-integrins, including but not limited to, natalizumab, efalizumab, etrolizumab,or abrilumab (AMG 181); or mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1)antagonists (ontamalimab), or rituximab.

  2. Participants who have had prior exposure to vedolizumab.

  3. Participants with hypersensitivity or allergies to vedolizumab or any of itsexcipients.

  4. Participants with active cerebral/meningeal disease, signs/symptoms or history ofprogressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) or any other major neurologicaldisorders.

  5. The participant has received any live vaccinations within 30 days before first doseof study drug.

  6. Participants who currently require surgical intervention or are anticipated torequire surgical intervention for UC or CD during this study.

  7. Participants who have had subtotal or total colectomy or have a jejunostomy,ileostomy, colostomy, ileo-anal pouch, known fixed stenosis of the intestine, shortbowel syndrome, or >3 small intestine resections.

  8. Participants with a current diagnosis of indeterminate colitis.

  9. Participants with clinical features suggesting monogenic very early-onsetinflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

  10. Participants with active or latent tuberculosis (TB).

  11. Participants with evidence of positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) orhepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb). Hepatitis B virus (HBV) immune subjects (that is,HBsAg negative and hepatitis B surface antibody [anti-HBs]-positive) may, however,be included.

  12. The participant has any identified congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (forexample, common variable immunodeficiency, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]infection, organ transplantation).

  13. Participants with positive stool studies for ova and/or parasites or stool cultureat screening visit.

  14. Participants with positive Clostridioides difficile (C difficile) stool test atscreening visit.

Study Description

The drug being tested in this study is vedolizumab. Vedolizumab is being tested to treat pediatric participants with moderate to severe active UC or CD who achieved clinical response following open-label vedolizumab intravenous (IV) therapy. The study will look at the pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of vedolizumab.

The study will enroll approximately 70 patients. During the Induction Period participants will receive 3 doses of vedolizumab IV infusion at Day 1, Week 2, and Week 6 based on their weight at Baseline as:

  • Participants ≥30 kilograms (kg), Vedolizumab (High Dose)

  • Participants >15 to <30 kg, Vedolizumab (Medium Dose)

  • Participants ≥10 to ≤15 kg, Vedolizumab (Low Dose)

At Week 14, participants who achieve clinical response will be assigned to one of the following groups, stratified by weight to receive vedolizumab 108 mg SC injection during the 20-week Maintenance Period:

  • Participants ≥30 kg, Vedolizumab 108 mg once every 2 weeks (Q2W)

  • Participants ≥10 to <30 kg, Vedolizumab 108 mg once every 4 weeks (Q4W)

This multi-center trial will be conducted globally. After the Week 34 end of treatment (EOT) visit assessments have been completed, participants may be eligible to receive continued treatment with vedolizumab SC in an extension study, whereas participants who do not qualify to receive continued treatment in the extension study or participants who discontinue from the study for any reason will complete the EOT visit, and the follow-up safety visit (18 weeks after last dose).
