Summary

This program provides children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease continued access to vedolizumab, a medication given through a vein, after they finish a related study. It is for those who still benefit from the treatment and have no good alternatives. The goal is to keep their disease under control until the drug is widely available in the US.
