For adult patients with moderately to severely active UC or CD when other therapies have not worked well enough.

INDICATIONS: Entyvio (vedolizumab) is indicated for adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who have had an inadequate response with, were intolerant to, or demonstrated dependence on corticosteroids, or who have had an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to an immunomodulator or a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker.1

In UC, Entyvio is indicated for inducing and maintaining clinical response and clinical remission, improving the endoscopic appearance of the mucosa, and achieving corticosteroid-free remission.

In CD, Entyvio is indicated for achieving clinical response, clinical remission, and corticosteroid-free remission.

Chronic intestinal inflammation
is a hallmark of UC and CD1,8,9

An increased number of infiltrating lymphocytes and other inflammatory cells are found in the GI tissue.

Mechanism of action for ENTYVIO (vedolizumab)

The interaction between α4β7 integrin, expressed on a certain subset of T cells, and its ligand, MAdCAM-1, is a contributor to this chronic inflammation.

Entyvio has a specific binding action for a GI-focused inflammatory pathway1

1

Integrin binding. Entyvio specifically binds to the α4β7 integrin and blocks the interaction between the α4β7 integrin and MAdCAM-1, which is mainly expressed on GI tract endothelial cells.

Mechanism of action for ENTYVIO (vedolizumab)

2

Excessive migration blocked.
GI-focused Entyvio selectively inhibits T cell migration to inflamed GI tissue.

Mechanism of action for ENTYVIO (vedolizumab)

Entyvio is the first and only biologic with a specific binding action designed for a gut-focused inflammatory pathway.

Important Safety Information

  • ENTYVIO (vedolizumab) for injection is contraindicated in patients who have had a known serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction to ENTYVIO or any of its excipients.
  • Infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have occurred. Allergic reactions including dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, flushing, rash, and increased blood pressure and heart rate have also been observed. If anaphylaxis or other serious allergic reactions occur, discontinue administration of ENTYVIO immediately and initiate appropriate treatment.
  • Patients treated with ENTYVIO are at increased risk for developing infections. Serious infections have been reported in patients treated with ENTYVIO, including anal abscess, sepsis (some fatal), tuberculosis, salmonella sepsis, Listeria meningitis, giardiasis, and cytomegaloviral colitis. ENTYVIO is not recommended in patients with active, severe infections until the infections are controlled. Consider withholding ENTYVIO in patients who develop a severe infection while on treatment with ENTYVIO. Exercise caution in patients with a history of recurring severe infections. Consider screening for tuberculosis (TB) according to the local practice.
  • Although no cases of PML have been observed in ENTYVIO clinical trials, JC virus infection resulting in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and death has occurred in patients treated with another integrin receptor antagonist. A risk of PML cannot be ruled out. Monitor patients for any new or worsening neurological signs or 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. If PML is suspected, withhold dosing with ENTYVIO and refer to a neurologist; if confirmed, discontinue ENTYVIO dosing permanently.
  • There have been reports of elevations of transaminase and/or bilirubin in patients receiving ENTYVIO. ENTYVIO should be discontinued in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury.
  • 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 and may receive live vaccines if the benefits outweigh the risks.
  • Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3% and ≥1% higher than placebo): nasopharyngitis, headache, arthralgia, nausea, pyrexia, upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, cough, bronchitis, influenza, back pain, rash, pruritus, sinusitis, oropharyngeal pain, and pain in extremities.

Indications

Adult Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

ENTYVIO (vedolizumab) is indicated in adult patients with moderately to severely active UC who have had an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker or immunomodulator; or had an inadequate response with, were intolerant to, or demonstrated dependence on corticosteroids for inducing and maintaining clinical response, inducing and maintaining clinical remission, improving endoscopic appearance of the mucosa, and achieving corticosteroid-free remission.

Adult Crohn’s Disease (CD)

ENTYVIO (vedolizumab) is indicated in adult patients with moderately to severely active CD who have had an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to a TNF blocker or immunomodulator; or had an inadequate response with, were intolerant to, or demonstrated dependence on corticosteroids for achieving clinical response, achieving clinical remission, and achieving corticosteroid-free remission.
