What this trial studies

This multi-center clinical trial aims to evaluate the long-term safety of vedolizumab in pediatric patients who have previously participated in parent studies for ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). Up to 240 participants will be enrolled, with those in the Treatment Cohort receiving vedolizumab intravenously at specified dosages based on their weight. The study will monitor participants for safety and efficacy over an extended period, following their initial treatment in the parent studies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term safety and effectiveness of vedolizumab for treating children with UC or CD.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with vedolizumab in adult populations, but this specific pediatric application is being explored for the first time.

Main Inclusion Criteria:

For Treatment Cohort:

1. The participant should have completed Study MLN0002-3024 or Study MLN0002-3025 and achieved corticosteroid-free clinical response at Week 54 (and has tapered off of steroids, as applicable, at least 12 weeks before Week 54) as defined by a reduction of partial Mayo score of ≥2 points and ≥25% from baseline for participants with UC, or by a decrease of pediatric Crohn's disease activity index (PCDAI) of ≥15 points for participants with CD and with total PCDAI ≤30.
2. A male participant who is sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential agrees to use a barrier method of contraception (e.g., condom with or without spermicide) from signing of participant/parental informed consent and/or pediatric assent throughout the duration of the study and for 18 weeks after last dose. The female partner of a male participant should also be advised to use a highly effective method of contraception.
3. A female participant of childbearing potential who is sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner agrees to use a highly effective method of contraception from signing of participant/parental informed consent and/or pediatric assent throughout the duration of the study and 18 weeks after the last dose.

For Observational Cohort:

1\. The participant has received at least 1 dose of vedolizumab during Study MLN0002-3024 or Study MLN0002-3025 and early terminated OR completed the Week 54 visit of Study MLN0002-3024 or Study MLN0002-3025 but was not eligible to enroll in the treatment cohort of this study.

Main Exclusion Criteria:

2. The participant has developed any new unstable or uncontrolled cardiovascular, heart failure moderate to severe (New York Class Association III or IV), pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary, hematological, coagulation, immunological, endocrine/metabolic, neurological, or other medical disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would confound the study results or compromise participant safety.
3. The participant has other serious comorbidities that will limit their ability to complete the study.
4. The participant is unable to comply with all study assessments.
5. The participant has hypersensitivity or allergies to any of the vedolizumab excipients.
