Study summary

The purpose of this study is to describe treatment patterns associated with first-line and second line biologic use (vedolizumab or other biologic) and to describe the real-world clinical effectiveness of the use (first-line and second line) vedolizumab versus other biologics at least 6 months post-treatment initiation.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective, non-interventional study of participants with CD or UC. The study will review the medical charts of participants who have initiated the first or second line treatment with vedolizumab or another biologic agent (infliximab, adalimumab, or golimumab [UC only]) (index event) during the eligibility period to evaluate the treatment effectiveness, treatment patterns, health care utilization and safety of vedolizumab, and to provide the real-world treatment landscape with anti-TNF alpha therapies.

The study will enroll approximately 400 participants, with 200 participants in each treatment cohort. All participants will be enrolled into two observational groups:

  • Cohort 1: Vedolizumab
  • Cohort 2: Other Biologics

The data for participants will be collected in two main periods:

  • Pre-index Event Period: From the data of diagnosis of UC/CD until one day prior to the date when vedolizumab or other biologic treatment was initiated during the eligibility period.
  • Post-index Event Period: From the date when vedolizumab or other biologic treatment was initiated during the eligibility period until the earliest of 6 months (post-index treatment discontinuation, death of participants, lost-to-follow up, or date of chart abstraction initiation.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Spain and Portugal. The overall time for data collection in the study will be approximately 12 months and the overall duration of the study is approximately 24 months.

PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Clinical Response at 14 Weeks for CD Participants

Clinical response in CD participants was evaluated using Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI) scale. HBI scale consisted of clinical parameters: general well-being (0-4, where higher score means lower wellbeing), abdominal pain (0-3, higher score means more severe pain), number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass (0-3, where higher score means presence of swelling in the abdomen), and complications (score 1 per item). Total score was the sum of individual parameters. The score ranged from a minimum score of 0 to no pre-specified maximum score as it depended on the number of liquid stools, where higher scores indicated more severe disease. Clinical response was defined as HBI score less than or equal to (\<=) 4 or reduction of greater than or equal to (\>=) 3 points in scores from index date or based on physician assessment.

PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at 52 Weeks for CD Participants

Endoscopic response for CD participants was evaluated using simple endoscopic index for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) score. SES-CD evaluated 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of the surface area that was ulcerated, percentage of the surface area affected, and stenosis in 5 segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum). The score for each endoscopic variable was the sum of values obtained for each segment. The SES-CD total was the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic response was defined as SES-CD score \<=2 or based on physician assessment (for UC and CD both). SES-CD score at index date \>0 relative difference was calculated (100\*\[Index date-52 weeks assessment\]/Index date) and relative difference of \>= 50% was considered response. Index date was defined as the date when vedolizumab or other biologic treatment was initiated.

Endoscopic response in UC participants is based on investigator assessment. Index date was defined as the date when vedolizumab or other biologic treatment was initiated. As pre-specified in the SAP, the data inside 28 to 76 weeks time window was considered for 52 weeks assessment and were reported in this outcome measure.

PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission at 52 Weeks for CD Participants

Endoscopic remission for CD participants was evaluated using SES-CD score. The SES-CD evaluated 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of the surface area that was ulcerated, percentage of the surface area affected, and stenosis in 5 segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum). The score for each endoscopic variable was the sum of values obtained for each segment. The SES-CD total was the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic remission was defined as SES-CD score \<=2 or based on physician assessment. Index date was defined as the date when vedolizumab or other biologic treatment was initiated.

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — Takeda provides access to the de-identified individual participant data (IPD) for eligible studies to aid qualified researchers in addressing legitimate scientific objectives (Takeda's data sharing commitment is available on https://clinicaltrials.takeda.com/takedas-commitment?commitment=5). These IPDs will be provided in a secure research environment following approval of a data sharing request, and under the terms of a data sharing agreement.

Supporting information: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan, Informed consent form, Clinical study report

Access criteria: IPD from eligible studies will be shared with qualified researchers according to the criteria and process described on https://vivli.org/ourmember/takeda/. For approved requests, the researchers will be provided access to anonymized data (to respect patient privacy in line with applicable laws and regulations) and with information necessary to address the research objectives under the terms of a data sharing agreement.
