A Study of Vedolizumab in Children and Teenagers With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease (CD)
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe Crohn's disease will be treated with vedolizumab.
The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with the vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no signs of inflammation.
Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive either a high dose or low dose of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 54 Based on Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) Score ≤10 — Week 54
Clinical remission is defined by PCDAI score ≤10. The PCDAI was specifically designed for use in children. The PCDAI includes a child-specific item: the height velocity variable as well as three laboratory parameters: hematocrit (HCT) (adjusted for age and sex), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and albumin level. The PCDAI score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more active disease. A score of \<10 will be consistent with inactive disease, 11 to 30 will indicate mild disease, and \>30 will indicate moderate to severe disease. A decrease of 12.5 points is taken as evidence of improvement. - Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 54 Based on Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease [SES-CD] Score — Week 54
Endoscopic response is defined as at least a 50% reduction in SES-CD score from Baseline. The overall SES-CD score ranges from 0 to 56 and is the sum of 4 variables (ie, size of ulcers \[cm\], ulcerated surface, affected surface \[%\], and presence of narrowing) across 5 bowel segments (ie, rectum, descending and sigmoid colon, transverse colon, ascending colon, and ileum). Each variable is coded from 0 to 3 based on severity, where 0 is none or not severe and 3 is the most severe case, with the sum of the scores for each variable ranging from 0 to 15, except for presence of narrowing. Presence of narrowing ranges from 0 to 11 since a severity of 3 represents a narrowing which a colonoscope cannot be passed and, thus, can only be observed once among the bowel segments. The segmental SES-CD score is the sum of the 4 variables for each bowel segment and can range from 0 to 12, where each individual variable score ranges from 0 to 3.
