Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests the drug vedolizumab in 408 adults in China with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. Participants receive IV infusions of vedolizumab or a placebo over several weeks. The goal is to see if vedolizumab can reduce symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea, and help achieve remission.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
vedolizumab
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people in China with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a late-stage trial, but results may not apply to all patients. Vedolizumab may not work for everyone and can have side effects like infections or allergic reactions.

Within 30 days before randomization, the participant has received any of the following for the treatment of underlying disease: * Nonbiologic therapies (eg, cyclosporine, thalidomide) other than those specifically listed in the Permitted Medications and Treatments section. * An approved or investigational nonbiologic therapy in an investigational protocol. 7. The participant has received traditional Chinese medication (TCMs) within 30 days before randomization. 8. The participant has had previous exposure to approved or investigational anti-integrins including, but not limited to natalizumab, efalizumab, etrolizumab, or abrilumab (AMG-181), or mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1) antagonists, or rituximab. 9. The participant has had previous exposure to vedolizumab. 10. The participant has used topical (rectal) treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), corticosteroid enemas/suppositories or traditional Chinese medications for CD treatment within 2 weeks of the administration of the first dose of study drug. 11. The participant requires currently or is anticipated to require surgical intervention for CD during the study. 12. The participant has a history or evidence of adenomatous colonic polyps that have not been removed. 13. The participant has a history or evidence of colonic mucosal dysplasia including low or high-grade dysplasia, as well as indeterminate for dysplasia. II. Infectious Disease Exclusion Criteria 14. The participant has evidence of active infection during the screening period. 15. The participant has evidence of treatment for Clostridioides difficile (C difficile) infection or other intestinal pathogen within, 28 days before first dose of study drug. 16.
