E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Determine the optimal threshold of VDZ serum concentration measured at W6 capable to predict the clinical response at week 10 with VDZ. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Determine the optimal threshold of VDZ serum concentration measured at W14 capable to predict the clinical remission at week 52 Investigating whether the pharmacokinetic parameters of VDZ measured at W2 are predictive of a clinical response and clinical remission at W10 Investigating whether the pharmacokinetic parameters of VDZ measured at W14 are predictive of a clinical response and remission at W52 Analyzing the value of VDZ trough levels measured at W6 to predict mucosal healing at W10 under induction therapy Analyzing the value of VDZ trough levels measured at W14 to predict mucosal healing at W52 under maintenance therapy Investigating the intra and inter-individual heterogeneity of VDZ levels Assessing the relationships between the variation of serum VDZ trough levels pre- and post-optimization (delta) and the clinical response in primary non-responder patients requiring additional infusions of VDZ.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Aged over 18 years - Men or non-pregnant women - Patients with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis who requires to start VDZ - Moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis defined as a total mayo score ranging from 6 to 12 and endoscopic Mayo score above 1 - UC patients with previous failure with TNF antagonist agents and unacceptable side-effects from steroids, and/or immunosuppressive agents (i.e., azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate). In France, VDZ has to be prescribed only in patients in failure or intolerant to anti-TNF. - Stable doses of oral prednisone (≤30 mg per day) or budesonide (≤9 mg per day), are allowed at stable dose for at least 4 weeks-before inclusion. Concomitant immunosuppressive agents, mesalamine, are allowed at stable dose for at least three months before inclusion. Steroid tapering has to be set up at Week 6 after starting VDZ, according to the ECCO recommendations. - Informed written consent given
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Existing pregnancy, lactation, or intended pregnancy within the next 15 months - Minors or History of disease, including mental/emotional disorder that might interfere with their participation in the study - Serious secondary illnesses of an acute or chronic nature, which in the opinion of the investigator renders the patient unsuitable for inclusion into the study - Inability to comply with the protocol requirements - Inability to fill in the diary cards during the last 7 days before each visit - Severe Acute UC needed hospitalisation - Known previous or concurrent malignancy (other than that considered surgically cured, with no evidence for recurrence for 5 years) - Short bowel syndrome - Previous treatments with vedolizumab, natalizumab, efalizumab or rituximab. - Previous treatment with adalimumab within 30 days prior enrollment or infliximab and certolizumab pegol within 60 days before enrollment - Prior extensive colonic resection, obstructive (symptomatic) intestinal stricture, abdominal abscess, active or latent tuberculosis, - Clostridium difficile superinfection; - Indeterminate colitis - Concomitant leukocyte apheresis. - Any contraindication to vedolizumab therapy - Patients who denied the protocol, not ability to accept or sign consent of the protocol - Subject involved in another clinical trial

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
VDZ concentrations were measured using the Lisa-Tracker Premium Vedolizumab enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (Theradiag; Marne la Vallée France). This assay has been developed to reduce low affinity binding of immune complexes or interfering molecules such as the rheumatoid factor. The use of specific buffers for both binding and washing steps allows a very efficient capture of free molecules. VDZ was considered undetectable for a concentration< 0.1 μg/mL. The antibodies against Vedolizumab detection level reported by the manufacturer was > 10 ng/mL. Clinical response is defined by a decrease in the Mayo score for at least three points and a decrease for at least 30% from baseline, with an accompanying decrease in the rectal bleeding subscore for at least one point or an absolute rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Clinical remission : Mayo clinical score of two or lower and no subscore higher than 1, and mucosal healing defined by an endoscopic subscore of 0 or 1 Mucosal healing: endoscopic subscore of 0 or 1 CRP normalization: < 5 mg/L Dose intensification in patients with primary failure: absence of clinical response at W10: 300 mg VDZ at W10 and W14 and then every 8 weeks if subsequent response Dose intensification in patients with secondary loss of response: infusion VDZ 300 mg every 4 weeks. |
