TLDR
Two cases are presented in which vedolizumab was used in CU as well as CD therapy in pediatric patients, which shows improvement in the quality of life of patients with IBD.Abstract:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term, which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) – chronic inflammatory bowel diseases with unknown etiology. Disease is commonly thought to be caused by combination of immunological, genetic and environmental factors. Most often diagnosis of IBD is established among young, 15-29 years old people, but the age of diagnosis is systematically reduced. Treatment plan depends on phase of disease, symptoms intensity and patient age. The main type of treatment are enteral nutrition, pharmacological therapy and finally surgical intervention in case of insufficient response. Until now, in pediatric patients U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved biologic agents, infliximab and adalimumab as CD treatment and infliximab only as UC treatment. Currently new biological agents are being studied as part of effective and safe IBD therapy in children. Particular attention is now given to vedolizumab which is already used and approved as part of IBD treatment algorithm in adults. Purpose of this article is to present two cases in which vedolizumab was used in CU as well as CD therapy in pediatric patients.read more

Method of treating pediatric disorders with antibodies specific for alpha 4 beta 7 integrin (vedolizumab)
TL;DR: In this article, a method for treating pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients using vedolizumab was proposed, which provides methods for treating children with Crohn's disease using the drug.

TL;DR: Vedolizumab was not more effective than placebo in inducing clinical remission at week 6 among patients with CD in whom previous treatment with TNF antagonists had failed, and the therapeutic benefits of vedolIZumab in these patients were detectable at week 10.

TL;DR: Vedolizumab demonstrated significantly greater efficacy as induction and maintenance therapy for UC than placebo in patients naive to TNF antagonists and patients with TNF antagonist failure, for most outcomes.

TL;DR: Vedolizumab did not alter the response to parenterally administered antigens but reduced theresponse to oral antigENs, demonstrating its gut-selective mechanism of action.

TL;DR: It is suggested that vedolizumab is efficacious and safe in pediatric IBD patients, with UC patients experiencing earlier and higher rates of remission than CD patients, and anti–TNF-naive patients experienced higher remission rates than those with anti-TNF exposure.

TL;DR: The data support previous findings of slow induction rate of vedolizumab in CD and a trend to be less effective compared with patients with UC and suggest paediatric refractory IBD may be more treatable than previously thought.
