In real-world experience, the number of patients using vedolizumab as first-line biological therapy was low. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab in mild-to-moderate Crohn's disease (CD) biologic-naïve patients.
We performed a retrospective multicentric cohort study with patients who had clinical activity scores (Harvey-Bradshaw Index [HBI]) measured at baseline and weeks 12, 26, 52, as well as at the last follow-up. Clinical response was defined as a reduction ≥3 in HBI, whereas clinical remission as HBI ≤4. Mucosal healing was defined as the complete absence of ulcers in control colonoscopies. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess the persistence with vedolizumab.
From a total of 66 patients, 53% (35/66) reached clinical remission at week 12. This percentage increased to 69.7% (46/66) at week 26, and 78.8% (52/66) at week 52. Mucosal healing was achieved in 62.3% (33/53) of patients. Vedolizumab was well tolerated, and most adverse events were minor. During vedolizumab treatment, 3/66 patients underwent surgery.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab as a first-line biological agent in patients with mild-to-moderate CD.
在实际临床经验中,将维多珠单抗作为一线生物治疗药物的患者数量较少。我们旨在评估维多珠单抗在初治的轻至中度克罗恩病(CD)患者中的有效性和安全性。
我们进行了一项回顾性多中心队列研究,研究对象为在基线、第12周、第26周、第52周以及最后一次随访时进行了临床活动评分(哈维-布拉德肖指数[HBI])测量的患者。临床缓解定义为HBI降低≥3,而临床缓解为HBI≤4。黏膜愈合定义为结肠镜检查时结肠完全无溃疡。采用Kaplan-Meier生存分析评估维多珠单抗的持续使用情况。
在总共66例患者中,53%(35/66)在第12周达到临床缓解。这一比例在第26周升至69.7%(46/66),在第52周升至78.8%(52/66)。62.3%(33/53)的患者实现了黏膜愈合。维多珠单抗耐受性良好,大多数不良事件为轻度。在维多珠单抗治疗期间,66例患者中有3例接受了手术。
本研究证明了维多珠单抗作为轻至中度CD患者一线生物制剂的有效性和安全性。
