Vedolizumab in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: An Evidence-Based Review of Safety, Efficacy, and Place of Therapy.


ABSTRACT: Introduction:Selective blockade of the integrins and mucosal adhesion molecules is a promising therapeutic strategy for ulcerative colitis (UC). Vedolizumab (VDZ), a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody against ?4?7 integrin, selectively blocks the trafficking of the leukocytes into the gastrointestinal tract through its binding with the ?4?7 integrin. Aim:In this review, we provide an overview of the unique mechanism of VDZ, along with its efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data obtained from clinical trials, observational studies, and meta-analyses. Evidence Review:A positive exposure-efficacy relationship with regard to clinical remission and clinical response was apparent in VDZ induction therapy. No drug-specific safety signals are currently available. Place in Therapy:VDZ has been shown to be effective as first- or second-line induction and maintenance therapy in UC. Conclusion:VDZ is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with UC. Prolonged VDZ induction therapy may contribute to improved outcomes in patients with UC, particularly those previously treated with tumor necrosis factor-?. Prospective head-to-head study of VDZ and other biologics would alter the positioning of VDZ much more clearly.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Selective blockade of the integrins and mucosal adhesion molecules is a promising therapeutic strategy for ulcerative colitis (UC). Vedolizumab (VDZ), a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody against α4β7 integrin, selectively blocks the trafficking of the leukocytes into the gastrointestinal tract through its binding with the α4β7 integrin.<h4>Aim</h4>In this review, we provide an overview of the unique mechanism of VDZ, along with its efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic and  ...[more]
