Practical Primer Addressing Real-World Use Scenarios of Subcutaneous Vedolizumab in Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease: Post Hoc Analyses of VISIBLE Studies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: integrin approved for intravenous (IV) treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), was evaluated as a subcutaneous (SC) formulation in maintenance therapy for UC and CD in phase 3 VISIBLE 1, 2, and open-label extension studies, and recently approved in Europe, Australia, and Canada. Our aim was to evaluate efficacy and safety of IV and SC vedolizumab in clinically relevant UC and CD scenarios. Methods: Post hoc data analyses from VISIBLE trials examined: (1) whether baseline characteristics predict clinical response to 2 vs 3 IV vedolizumab induction doses; (2) efficacy and safety of switching during maintenance vedolizumab IV to SC in patients with UC; (3) vedolizumab SC after treatment interruption of 1-46 weeks; (4) increasing dose frequency of vedolizumab SC from every 2 weeks (Q2W) to every week (QW) after disease worsening. Results: No baseline characteristics were identified as strong predictors of response to 2 vs 3 vedolizumab infusions. Most patients achieved clinical response after 2 or 3 doses of IV vedolizumab maintained with SC treatment. Clinical remission and response rates were maintained in patients transitioned from maintenance vedolizumab IV to SC treatment. Of patients with UC, ≥75% achieved response following resumption after dose interruption. Escalation to QW dosing resulted in ≥45% of patients regaining response after loss while receiving vedolizumab Q2W. Conclusions: Clinical real-world scenarios with vedolizumab SC were reviewed using VISIBLE studies data. Vedolizumab SC provides an additional dosing option for patients with UC and CD.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
