A Study of Vedolizumab in Children and Teenagers with Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
About this clinical trial
Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no or limited signs of disease. The study is also evaluating side effects of vedolizumab in the children and teenager with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive 1 of 3 doses of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.
