Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether vedolizumab (Entyvio), a drug used for inflammatory bowel disease, can reduce symptoms of collagenous gastritis—a rare condition causing stomach pain, nausea, and bloating. Eleven participants receive the drug via IV and report their symptoms over 12 weeks. The study also checks safety and how long any benefits last.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
vedolizumab (Entyvio)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a treatment for collagenous gastritis, a rare stomach condition with limited options.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 11 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Vedolizumab also carries risks like allergic reactions or infections.
