Side Effects of Entyvio

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described below reflect exposure to intravenous ENTYVIO in 3,326 patients and healthy volunteers in clinical trials, including 1,396 exposed for greater than one year, and 835 exposed for greater than two years. Intravenous Infusion The safety data described in Table 2 are derived from four controlled Phase 3 trials (UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III); data from adult patients receiving open-label intravenous ENTYVIO treatment at Weeks 0 and 2 (prior to entry into UC Trial II and CD Trial III) and from Weeks 6 to 52 (non-responders at Week 6 of UC Trial I and CD Trial I) are included . In these trials, 1,434 patients received ENTYVIO 300 mg intravenously for up to 52 weeks, and 297 patients received placebo for up to 52 weeks.

Of these, 769 patients had ulcerative colitis and 962 patients had Crohn's disease. Patients were exposed for a mean duration of 259 days (UC Trials I and II) and 247 days (CD Trials I and III). Adverse reactions were reported in 52% of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO and 45% of patients treated with placebo (UC Trials I and II: 49% with ENTYVIO and 37% with placebo; CD Trials I and III: 55% with ENTYVIO and 47% with placebo). Serious adverse reactions were reported in 7% of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO compared to 4% of patients treated with placebo (UC Trials I and II: 8% with ENTYVIO and 7% with placebo; CD Trials I and III: 12% with ENTYVIO and 9% with placebo). The most common adverse reactions (reported by ≥3% of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO in the UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III combined group and ≥1% higher than in combined placebo group) were nasopharyngitis, headache, arthralgia, nausea, pyrexia, upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, cough, bronchitis, influenza, back pain, rash, pruritus, sinusitis, oropharyngeal pain, and pain in extremities (Table 2). Table 2. Adverse Reactions in ≥3% of Intravenous ENTYVIO-Treated Adult Patients and ≥1% Higher than in Placebo (UC Trials I and II Data from patients receiving open-label intravenous ENTYVIO treatment at Weeks 0 and 2 (prior to entry into UC Trial II and CD Trial III) and from Weeks 6 to 52 (non-responders at Week 6 of UC Trial I and CD Trial I) are included. and CD Trials I and III ) Adverse Reaction ENTYVIO IV Patients who received ENTYVIO for up to 52 weeks.

Infusion-Related Reactions and Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported following intravenous ENTYVIO administration in clinical trials . In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, one case of anaphylaxis was reported by a Crohn's disease patient during the second infusion (symptoms reported were dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, flushing, rash, and increased blood pressure and heart rate) and was managed with discontinuation of infusion and treatment with antihistamine and intravenous hydrocortisone. In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, 4% of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO and 3% of patients treated with placebo experienced an infusion-related reaction (IRR). The most frequently observed IRRs in the patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO (reported more than twice) were nausea, headache, pruritus, dizziness, fatigue, infusion-related reaction, pyrexia, urticaria, and vomiting (each of these adverse reactions occurred in <1% in all patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO) and no individual adverse reaction reported occurred at a rate above 1%. These reactions generally occurred within the first two hours after the infusion and resolved with no treatment or following antihistamine and/or IV hydrocortisone treatment.

Less than 1% of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO had IRRs assessed by the investigator as severe, and IRRs requiring discontinuation of study treatment occurred in <1%. In clinical trials, for patients with mild IRRs or hypersensitivity reactions, physicians were allowed to pretreat with standard medical treatment (e.g., antihistamine, hydrocortisone, and/or acetaminophen) prior to next infusion. Infections In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, the rate of infections was 0.85 per patient-year in the patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO and 0.7 per patient-year in the patients treated with placebo . The infections consisted primarily of nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, and urinary tract infection. Two percent of patients discontinued intravenous ENTYVIO due to infections.

In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, the rate of serious infections was 0.07 per patient-year in patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO and 0.06 per patient-year in patients treated with placebo. Serious infections were more common in Crohn's disease patients than ulcerative colitis patients, and anal abscesses were the most frequently reported serious adverse reaction in Crohn's disease patients. Over 48 months, there was no increase in the rate of serious infections.

In controlled- and open-label long-term extension trials in adults treated with intravenous ENTYVIO, serious infections have been reported, including anal abscess, sepsis (some fatal), tuberculosis, salmonella sepsis, Listeria meningitis, giardiasis, and cytomegaloviral colitis. In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, sepsis, including bacterial sepsis and septic shock, was reported in four of 1,434 (0.3%) patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO and in two of 297 patients treated with placebo (0.7%). During these trials, two Crohn's disease patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO died due to reported sepsis or septic shock; both patients had significant comorbidities and a complicated hospital course that contributed to the deaths. In an open label, long-term extension trial, additional cases of sepsis (some fatal), including bacterial sepsis and septic shock, were reported.

The rate of sepsis in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease receiving intravenous ENTYVIO was two per 1,000 patient-years. In clinical trials, all patients were screened for tuberculosis. One case of latent, pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed during the controlled trials with intravenous ENTYVIO. Additional cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were diagnosed during the open-label trial.

All of these observed cases occurred outside the United States (U.S.), and none of the patients had extrapulmonary manifestations. Liver Injury There have been reports of elevations of transaminase and/or bilirubin in patients receiving intravenous ENTYVIO . In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, three patients reported serious adverse reactions of hepatitis, manifested as elevated transaminases with or without elevated bilirubin and symptoms consistent with hepatitis (e.g., malaise, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anorexia). These adverse reactions occurred following two to five intravenous ENTYVIO doses; however, based on case report information it is unclear if the reactions indicated drug-induced or autoimmune etiology. All patients recovered following discontinuation of therapy with some requiring corticosteroid treatment.

In controlled trials, the incidence of ALT and AST elevations ≥3× ULN was <2% in patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO and in patients treated with placebo. In the open-label trial, one additional case of serious hepatitis was observed. Malignancies In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, malignancies (excluding dysplasia and basal cell carcinoma) were reported in six of 1,434 (0.4%) patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO, including colon cancer (n=2), transitional cell carcinoma (n=1), breast cancer (n=1), carcinoid tumor of the appendix (n=1), and squamous cell carcinoma (n=1). Malignancy was reported in one of 297 (0.3%) patients treated with placebo (squamous cell carcinoma). Malignancies (excluding dysplasia and basal cell carcinoma) observed during the ongoing open-label long-term extension trial included B-cell lymphoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, malignant hepatic neoplasm, malignant lung neoplasm, malignant melanoma, lung cancer of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma, renal cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma.

Overall, the number of malignancies in the clinical trials was small; however, long-term exposure was limited. Subcutaneous Injection after Two Intravenous Doses of ENTYVIO ENTYVIO was administered as a subcutaneous injection in adult patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials (SC UC Trial and SC CD Trial, respectively). Patients who achieved clinical response following two doses of ENTYVIO administered as an intravenous infusion at Week 0 and Week 2 were randomized 2:1 at Week 6 to ENTYVIO as a subcutaneous injection (N=106) or placebo (N=56) (SC UC Trial) and as a subcutaneous injection (N=275) or placebo (N=134) (SC CD Trial) . The safety profile for up to 52 weeks of total treatment was similar between patients who were switched to ENTYVIO as a subcutaneous injection in SC UC and SC CD clinical trials and patients in UC and CD clinical trials who received ENTYVIO as an intravenous infusion ( Table 2 ) except for injection site reactions, which were reported with subcutaneous ENTYVIO. Injection site reactions with subcutaneous ENTYVIO were reported in 10% (11/106) of patients in SC UC Trial, including injection site erythema, rash, pruritus, swelling, bruising, and hematoma. Injection site reactions with subcutaneous ENTYVIO were reported in 3% (8/275) of patients in SC CD Trial, including injection site erythema, pruritus, urticaria, pain, rash, and edema.

Live and Oral Vaccines There are no data on the secondary transmission of infection by live vaccines in patients receiving ENTYVIO. In a placebo-controlled study of healthy volunteers, 61 subjects were given a single intravenous ENTYVIO 750 mg dose (2.5 times the recommended dose), and 62 subjects received placebo followed by intramuscular vaccination with Hepatitis B surface antigen and oral cholera vaccine. After intramuscular vaccination with three doses of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen, those treated with intravenous ENTYVIO did not have lower rates of protective immunity to Hepatitis B virus. However, those exposed to intravenous ENTYVIO did have lower seroconversion rates and anti-cholera titers relative to placebo after receiving the two doses of a killed, oral cholera vaccine.

The impact on other oral vaccines and on nasal vaccines in patients is unknown.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of ENTYVIO. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Immune system disorders: Anaphylaxis. Gastrointestinal system disorders: Acute pancreatitis.

Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders: Interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis.

Warnings & Cautions for Entyvio

Infusion-Related Reactions and Hypersensitivity Reactions Infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions have been

reported, including anaphylaxis, dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, flushing, rash, and increased blood pressure and heart rate. These reactions may occur with the first or subsequent infusions of ENTYVIO and may vary in their time of onset from during infusion or up to several hours post-infusion. If anaphylaxis or other serious infusion-related or hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue administration of ENTYVIO immediately and initiate appropriate treatment.

Infections Patients treated with

ENTYVIO are at increased risk for developing infections. Serious infections reported in clinical trials include anal abscess, sepsis (some fatal), tuberculosis (TB), salmonella sepsis, Listeria meningitis, giardiasis, and cytomegaloviral colitis. Postmarketing cases of systemic bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic opportunistic infections have been reported.

Treatment with ENTYVIO should not be initiated in patients with a clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. In patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection, consider the risks and benefits prior to prescribing ENTYVIO. During treatment with ENTYVIO, instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important acute or chronic infection occur. If a serious infection develops or an infection is not responding to standard therapy, monitor the patient closely.

ENTYVIO should not be administered until the infection resolves. Tuberculosis Consider evaluating patients for TB infection prior to initiating treatment with ENTYVIO. Treatment with Entyvio should not be administered to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering ENTYVIO. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of ENTYVIO in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed.

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after ENTYVIO treatment.

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy

PML, a rare and often fatal opportunistic infection of the central nervous system (CNS), has been reported with systemic immunosuppressants, including another integrin receptor antagonist. PML is caused by the John Cunningham (JC) virus and typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised. One case of PML in an ENTYVIO-treated patient with multiple contributory factors has been reported in the postmarketing setting (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus infection with a CD4 count of 300 cells/mm 3 and prior and concomitant immunosuppression). Although unlikely, a risk of PML cannot be ruled out.

Monitor patients on ENTYVIO for any new onset, or worsening, of neurological signs and symptoms. Typical signs and symptoms associated with PML are diverse, progress over days to weeks, and include progressive weakness on one side of the body or clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, and changes in thinking, memory, and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes. The progression of deficits usually leads to death or severe disability over weeks or months.

If PML is suspected, withhold dosing with ENTYVIO and refer to a neurologist; if confirmed, discontinue dosing permanently.

Liver Injury

There have been reports of elevations of transaminase and/or bilirubin in patients receiving ENTYVIO. In general, the combination of transaminase elevations and elevated bilirubin without evidence of obstruction is generally recognized as an important predictor of severe liver injury that may lead to death or the need for a liver transplant in some patients. ENTYVIO should be discontinued in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury .

Immunizations

Prior to initiating treatment with ENTYVIO, all patients should be brought up to date with all immunizations according to current immunization guidelines . Patients receiving ENTYVIO may receive non-live vaccines (e.g., influenza vaccine injection) and may receive live vaccines if the benefits outweigh the risks. There are no data on the secondary transmission of infection by live vaccines in patients receiving ENTYVIO .

Drug Interactions with Entyvio

Natalizumab Products

Because of the potential for increased risk of PML and other infections, avoid the concomitant use of ENTYVIO with natalizumab products.

TNF Blockers

Because of the potential for increased risk of infections, avoid the concomitant use of ENTYVIO with TNF blockers.

CYP450 Substrates

The formation of CYP450 enzymes may be suppressed by increased levels of certain cytokines (e.g., IL-6, IL-10, TNFα, IFN) during chronic inflammation. Therefore, use of ENTYVIO may normalize the formation of CYP450 enzymes by modulating the underlying disease. Upon initiation or discontinuation of ENTYVIO in patients treated with CYP450 substrates, monitor drug concentrations or other therapeutic parameters, and adjust the dosage of the CYP substrate as needed.

See the prescribing information of specific CYP substrates.

Pregnancy Safety for Entyvio

Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS)/MotherToBaby ENTYVIO Pregnancy Registry, published literature and pharmacovigilance in pregnant women have not reliably identified an ENTYVIO-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes (see Data ). There are risks to the mother and the fetus associated with inflammatory bowel disease in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ). No fetal harm was observed in animal reproduction studies with intravenous administration of vedolizumab to rabbits and monkeys at dose levels 20 times the recommended human dosage (see Data ). The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and miscarriage is 15 to 20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with increased disease activity. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight (less than 2,500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions ENTYVIO administered during pregnancy could affect immune responses in the in utero-exposed newborn and infant.

The clinical significance of low levels of ENTYVIO in utero-exposed infants is unknown. The safety of administering live or live-attenuated vaccines in exposed infants is unknown. Data Human Data The vedolizumab pregnancy exposure registry conducted by OTIS/MotherToBaby study in the United States and Canada collected prospective observational data between 2015 and 2022 to assess the risk of major birth defects in live-born infants of women with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) treated with vedolizumab during pregnancy.

The study compared pregnant patients with UC or CD exposed to vedolizumab with pregnant patients with UC or CD treated with other biological products. The registry included 99 women (58 with UC, 41 with CD) treated with vedolizumab during pregnancy, and 76 women (27 with UC, 49 with CD) exposed to other biological products during pregnancy. The proportion of major birth defects among live-born infants in patients with UC or CD treated with vedolizumab and patients with UC or CD treated with other biological products was 7.4% (7/94) and 5.6% (4/71), respectively.

Overall, there was no evidence of increased risk for major structural birth defects (adjusted RR 1.07, 95% CI: 0.33, 3.52). The methodological limitations of the registry, including small sample size and the non-randomized design, resulted in a limited ability to estimate the risk of major birth defects and other maternal and infant outcomes. The conclusions from the pregnancy registry were consistent with the published literature and pharmacovigilance. Animal Data A reproduction study has been performed in pregnant rabbits at single intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg administered on gestation Day 7 (about 20 times the recommended human dosage) and has revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to vedolizumab.

A pre- and post-natal development study in monkeys showed no evidence of any adverse effect on pre- and post-natal development at intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg (about 20 times the recommended human dosage).

Pediatric Use of Entyvio

Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of ENTYVIO in pediatric patients have not been established.

Contraindications for Entyvio

is contraindicated in patients who have had a known serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction to ENTYVIO or any of its excipients (such as dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, flushing, rash and increased heart rate) . Patients who have had a known serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction to ENTYVIO or any of its excipients.

Clinical Studies of Entyvio

Clinical Studies in Ulcerative Colitis Intravenous

Administration The safety and efficacy of intravenous ENTYVIO were evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (UC Trials I and II) in adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) defined as Mayo score of 6 to 12 with endoscopy subscore of two or three. The Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 and has four subscales that are each scored from zero (normal) to three (most severe): stool frequency, rectal bleeding, findings on endoscopy, and physician global assessment. An endoscopy subscore of two is defined by marked erythema, lack of vascular pattern, friability, and erosions; an endoscopy subscore of three is defined by spontaneous bleeding and ulceration.

Enrolled patients in the U.S. had over the previous five-year period an inadequate response or intolerance to immunomodulator therapy (i.e., azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) and/or an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to a TNF blocker. Outside the U.S., prior treatment with corticosteroids was sufficient for entry if over the previous five-year period the patients were corticosteroid dependent (i.e., unable to successfully taper corticosteroids without a return of the symptoms of UC) or had an inadequate response or intolerance to corticosteroids. Patients that had received natalizumab ever in the past, and patients that had received a TNF blocker in the past 60 days were excluded from enrollment.

Concomitant use of natalizumab or a TNF blocker was not allowed. UC Trial I - Intravenous In UC Trial I, 374 patients were randomized in a double-blind fashion (3:2) to receive ENTYVIO 300 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion at Week 0 and Week 2. Efficacy assessments were at Week 6. Concomitant stable dosages of aminosalicylates, corticosteroids (prednisone dosage ≤30 mg/day or equivalent), and immunomodulators (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) were permitted through Week 6. At baseline, patients received corticosteroids (54%), immunomodulators (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) (30%), and/or aminosalicylates (74%). Thirty-nine percent of patients had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to a TNF blocker therapy. Eighteen percent of patients had an inadequate response, inability to taper or intolerance to prior corticosteroid treatment only (i.e., had not received prior immunomodulators or TNF blockers). The median baseline Mayo score was 9 in the ENTYVIO group and 8 in the placebo group.

In UC Trial I, a greater percentage of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO compared to patients treated with placebo achieved clinical response at Week 6 (defined in Table 4 ). A greater percentage of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO compared to patients treated with placebo also achieved clinical remission at Week 6 (defined in Table 4 ). In addition, a greater percentage of patients treated with ENTYVIO had improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa at Week 6 (defined in Table 4 ). Table 4. Proportion of Patients Meeting Efficacy Endpoints at Week 6 (UC Trial I) Endpoint Placebo N=149 ENTYVIO IV N=225 p-value Treatment Difference and 95% CI Clinical Response Clinical response: reduction in complete Mayo score of ≥3 points and ≥30% from baseline with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of ≤1 point. at Week 6 26% 47% <0.001 22% (12%, 32%) Clinical Remission Clinical remission: complete Mayo score of ≤2 points and no individual subscore >1 point. at Week 6 5% 17% 0.001 12% (5%, 18%) Improvement of Endoscopic Appearance of the Mucosa Improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa: Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 (normal or inactive disease) or 1 (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mild friability). at Week 6 25% 41% 0.001 16% (6%, 26%) UC Trial II - Intravenous In order to be randomized to treatment in UC Trial II, patients had to have received intravenous ENTYVIO and be in clinical response at Week 6. Patients could have come from either UC Trial I or from a group who received ENTYVIO open-label. In UC Trial II, 373 patients were randomized in a double-blind fashion (1:1:1) to one of the following regimens beginning at Week 6: intravenous ENTYVIO 300 mg every eight weeks, intravenous ENTYVIO 300 mg every four weeks or placebo every four weeks. Efficacy assessments were at Week 52. Concomitant aminosalicylates and corticosteroids were permitted through Week 52. Concomitant immunomodulators (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) were permitted outside the U.S. but were not permitted beyond Week 6 in the U.S. At Week 6, patients were receiving corticosteroids (61%), immunomodulators (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) (32%), and aminosalicylates (75%). Thirty-two percent of patients had an inadequate response, loss of response or intolerance to a TNF blocker therapy.

At Week 6, the median Mayo score was 8 in the ENTYVIO every eight week group, the ENTYVIO every four week group, and the placebo group. Patients who had achieved clinical response at Week 6 and were receiving corticosteroids were required to begin a corticosteroid-tapering regimen at Week 6. In UC Trial II, a greater percentage of patients in groups treated with intravenous ENTYVIO as compared to placebo achieved clinical remission at Week 52, and maintained clinical response (clinical response at both Weeks 6 and 52) (Table 5). In addition, a greater percentage of patients in groups treated with intravenous ENTYVIO as compared to placebo were in clinical remission at both Weeks 6 and 52, and had improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa at Week 52 (Table 5). In the subgroup of patients who achieved clinical response at Week 6 and were receiving corticosteroid medication at baseline, a greater proportion of patients in groups treated with intravenous ENTYVIO as compared to placebo discontinued corticosteroids and were in clinical remission at Week 52 (Table 5). The ENTYVIO every four week dosing regimen did not demonstrate additional clinical benefit over the every eight dosing week regimen. The every four week dosing regimen is not the recommended dosing regimen . Table 5. Proportion of Patients Meeting Efficacy Endpoints at Week 52 Patients must have achieved clinical response at Week 6 to continue into UC Trial II. This group includes patients that were not in clinical remission at Week 6.

Corticosteroid-free clinical remission was defined as the proportion of patients in this subgroup that discontinued corticosteroids by Week 52 and were in clinical remission at Week 52. 14% 31% 0.012 18% (4%, 31%) Subcutaneous Administration SC UC Trial - Subcutaneous The safety and efficacy of subcutaneous ENTYVIO was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (SC UC Trial; NCT02611830) in adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis defined as Mayo score of 6 to 12 with endoscopy subscore of two or three.

The baseline Mayo score was between 9 to 12 in about 62% and six to eight in about 38% of the overall trial population. The trial included patients who had experienced an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least one of the following: at least one 12-week regimen of azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine, induction with a TNF blocker, or corticosteroids. Patients were permitted to use concomitant stable doses of oral aminosalicylates, oral corticosteroids (prednisone ≤30 mg/day or budesonide ≤9 mg/day), azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine, probiotics and/or antidiarrheals.

Concomitant biologic therapies, rectal treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid or corticosteroid enemas/suppositories were prohibited. All patients received open-label intravenous ENTYVIO 300 mg at Week 0 and Week 2. In order to be randomized to treatment in SC UC Trial, patients had to be in clinical response at Week 6. A total of 162 patients were randomized at Week 6 in a double-blind fashion (2:1) to ENTYVIO 108 mg administered by subcutaneous injection or placebo every 2 weeks. Efficacy assessments were at Week 52. Beginning at Week 6, patients who were receiving corticosteroids were required to begin a corticosteroid tapering regimen.

At the time of randomization into the double-blind phase (Week 6), patients were receiving corticosteroids (51%), immunomodulators (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) (33%), and aminosalicylates (80%). Thirty-seven percent of patients had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to a TNF blocker therapy prior to enrollment. Patients in the double-blind phase had a mean age of 39 years (range 18 to 69 years); 61% were male; 83% identified as White, 17% as Asian, and <1% identified as another racial group. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients in clinical remission defined as a Mayo score of ≤2 points and no individual subscore >1 point at Week 52. Secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients with improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa at Week 52 and clinical response at both Weeks 6 and 52 (see Table 6 ). Table 6.

Clinical Studies in Crohn's Disease Intravenous

Administration The safety and efficacy of intravenous ENTYVIO were evaluated in three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials (CD Trials I, II, and III) in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) (Crohn's Disease Activity Index score of 220 to 450). Enrolled patients in the U.S. had over the previous five-year period an inadequate response or intolerance to immunomodulator therapy (i.e., azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) and/or an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more TNF blockers. Outside the U.S., prior treatment with corticosteroids was sufficient for entry if over the previous five-year period the patients were corticosteroid dependent (i.e., unable to successfully taper corticosteroids without a return of the symptoms of CD) or had an inadequate response or intolerance to corticosteroids. Patients that had received natalizumab ever in the past, and patients that had received a TNF blocker in the past 30 to 60 days were excluded from enrollment.

Concomitant use of natalizumab or a TNF blocker was not allowed. CD Trial I - Intravenous In CD Trial I, 368 patients were randomized in a double-blind fashion (3:2) to receive ENTYVIO 300 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion at Week 0 and Week 2. Efficacy assessments were at Week 6. Concomitant stable dosages of aminosalicylates, corticosteroids (prednisone dosage ≤30 mg/day or equivalent), and immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine or methotrexate) were permitted through Week 6. At baseline, patients were receiving corticosteroids (49%), immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) (35%), and/or aminosalicylates (46%). Forty-eight percent of the patients had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to a TNF blocker therapy. Seventeen percent of patients had inadequate response, inability to taper, or intolerance to prior corticosteroid treatment only (i.e., had not received prior immunomodulators or TNF blockers). The median baseline CDAI score was 324 in the intravenous ENTYVIO group and 319 in the placebo group.

In CD Trial I, a statistically significantly higher percentage of patients treated with intravenous ENTYVIO achieved clinical remission (defined as CDAI ≤150) as compared to placebo at Week 6 (Table 7). The difference in the percentage of patients who demonstrated clinical response (defined as a ≥100-point decrease in CDAI score from baseline), was however, not statistically significant at Week 6. CD Trial II - Intravenous Compared to CD Trial I, CD Trial II enrolled a higher number of patients who had over the previous five-year period had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more TNF blockers (76%); this was the primary analysis population. In CD Trial II, 416 patients were randomized in a double-blind fashion (1:1) to receive either intravenous ENTYVIO 300 mg or placebo at Weeks 0, 2, and 6. Efficacy assessments were at Weeks 6 and 10. Concomitant aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, and immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) were permitted through Week 10. At baseline, patients were receiving corticosteroids (54%), immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) (34%), and aminosalicylates (31%). The median baseline CDAI score was 317 in the ENTYVIO group and 301 in the placebo group. For the primary endpoint (clinical remission at Week 6), treatment with intravenous ENTYVIO did not result in statistically significant improvement over placebo ( Table 7 ). Secondary endpoints including assessments at Week 10 were not tested because the primary endpoint was not statistically significant.

Patients could have come from either CD Trial I or from a group who received intravenous ENTYVIO open-label. In CD Trial III, 461 patients were randomized in a double-blind fashion (1:1:1) to one of the following regimens beginning at Week 6: intravenous ENTYVIO 300 mg every eight weeks, intravenous ENTYVIO 300 mg every four weeks or placebo every four weeks. Efficacy assessments were at Week 52. Concomitant aminosalicylates and corticosteroids were permitted through Week 52. Concomitant immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) were permitted outside the U.S. but were not permitted beyond Week 6 in the U.S. At Week 6, patients were receiving corticosteroids (59%), immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) (31%), and aminosalicylates (41%). Fifty-one percent of patients had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to a TNF blocker therapy.

At Week 6, the median CDAI score was 322 in the intravenous ENTYVIO every eight week group, 316 in the intravenous ENTYVIO every four week group, and 315 in the placebo group. Patients who had achieved clinical response (≥70 decrease in CDAI score from baseline) at Week 6 and were receiving corticosteroids were required to begin a corticosteroid-tapering regimen at Week 6. In CD Trial III a greater percentage of patients in groups treated with intravenous ENTYVIO as compared to placebo were in clinical remission (defined as CDAI score ≤150) at Week 52. A greater percentage of patients in groups treated with intravenous ENTYVIO as compared to placebo had a clinical response (defined as ≥100 decrease in CDAI score from baseline) at Week 52 (Table 8). In the subgroup of patients who were receiving corticosteroids at baseline and who were in clinical response at Week 6 (defined as ≥70 decrease in CDAI score from baseline), a greater proportion of patients in groups treated with intravenous ENTYVIO as compared to placebo discontinued corticosteroids by Week 52 and were in clinical remission at Week 52 (Table 8). The ENTYVIO every four week dosing regimen did not demonstrate additional clinical benefit over the every eight dosing week regimen. The every four week dosing regimen is not the recommended dosing regimen . Table 8. Proportion of Patients Meeting Efficacy Endpoints at Week 52 This group includes patients that were not in clinical remission at Week 6. Patients must have achieved clinical response (defined as ≥70 decrease in CDAI from baseline) at Week 6 to continue into CD Trial III.

Corticosteroid-free clinical remission was defined as the proportion of patients in this subgroup that discontinued corticosteroids by Week 52 and were in clinical remission at Week 52. 16% 32% 0.015 16% (3%, 29%) Subcutaneous Administration SC CD Trial - Subcutaneous The safety and efficacy of subcutaneous ENTYVIO was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (SC CD Trial; NCT02611817) in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease defined as CDAI score of 220 to 450. At baseline, the median CDAI score was 316 (range: 198 to 559). The trial included patients who had experienced an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least one of the following: corticosteroids, immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate), or TNF blockers (including primary non-responders). Patients were permitted to use concomitant stable doses of oral aminosalicylates, oral corticosteroids (prednisone ≤30 mg/day, budesonide ≤9 mg/day, or equivalent steroid), immunomodulators, probiotics, antidiarrheals, and/or antibiotics.

Concomitant biologic therapies, rectal treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid or corticosteroid enemas/suppositories were prohibited. All patients received open-label intravenous ENTYVIO 300 mg at Week 0 and Week 2. In order to be randomized to treatment in SC CD Trial, patients had to be in clinical response (defined as a ≥70-point decrease in the CDAI score from baseline) at Week 6. A total of 409 patients were randomized at Week 6 in a double-blind fashion (2:1) to ENTYVIO 108 mg administered by subcutaneous injection or placebo every 2 weeks. Efficacy assessments were at Week 52. Beginning at Week 6, patients who were receiving corticosteroids were required to begin a corticosteroid tapering regimen.

At the time of randomization into the double-blind phase (Week 6), patients were receiving corticosteroids (45%), immunomodulators (32%), and aminosalicylates (45%). Fifty-one percent of patients had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to a TNF blocker therapy prior to enrollment. Patients in the double-blind phase had a mean age of 38 years (range 18 to 76 years); 55% were male; 91% identified as White, 6% as Asian, and 3% identified as another racial group. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with clinical remission (CDAI score ≤150) at Week 52 (see Table 9 ). Table 9.
