P696 Initiation of Vedolizumab did not provoke new-onset spondylarthritis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A Prospective Study Including Rheumatological and Blinded Imaging Assessments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Prior case series indicated a temporal relationship between use of vedolizumab and new-onset spondyloarthritis. Methods We aimed to evaluate the relationship between initiation of vedolizumab and development of new-onset spondyloarthritis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, through serial clinical evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging. A single-centre prospective observational study of 24 patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Patients were eligible if they had active ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease and initiating vedolizumab, had no prior history of arthritis or spondyloarthritis and suitable for undergoing serial magnetic resonance imaging. Clinical evaluation was performed by a rheumatologist prior to first dose of vedolizumab and at weeks 8 and 24 weeks after administration. Axial magnetic resonance imaging was performed at baseline, weeks 8 and 24 and evaluated by a blinded central reader. Results Nine tumour necrosis factor inhibitor-naïve patients (4 male; mean age 53.2 yrs; 6 ulcerative colitis; 3 Crohn’s disease) and eight tumour necrosis factor inhibitor-experienced patients (7 male; mean age 48 yrs; 3 ulcerative colitis; 5 Crohn’s disease) completed all assessments. No patients developed new features of axial arthritis either on clinical or blinded radiological assessment at weeks 8 or 24, nor any features of peripheral spondyloarthritis including inflammatory oligoarthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, or psoriasis (nail, body, or scalp). Both the tumour necrosis factor inhibitor-naive and tumour necrosis factor inhibitor-experienced patients demonstrated good intestinal response to vedolizumab. Conclusion Initiation of vedolizumab did not induce new features of axial or peripheral spondyloarthritis in tumour necrosis factor inhibitor-experienced or tumour necrosis factor inhibitor-naive patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

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.
