Investigation of the Faecal Loss of Vedolizumab and Its Role in Influencing Serum Drug Levels, Outcomes and Response in Ulcerative Colitis

Summary

The purpose of this study is to study the loss of vedolizumab in stool in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC). Patients with moderate-to-severe UC who are commencing induction therapy with vedolizumab will be enrolled into a prospective study and stool will be collected for faecal vedolizumab measurement at days 1, 4 and 7; and again at weeks 2, 6 and 14. They will also be evaluated at three time-points (weeks 2, 6 and 14) for clinical and biochemical UC disease activity as well as serum vedolizumab concentrations and anti-vedolizumab antibodies.
