A Study on Administration Choices of Vedolizumab and Outcomes for Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (VARIETY - CROATIA AND SLOVENIA)

Prospective, Non-interventional, Observational Study in Patients With IBD Receiving IV or SC Vedolizumab Therapy to Observe Route of Administration Choices and Outcomes

Inflammatory bowel disease consists of either ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD).

The main aim of this study is to describe real-world treatment patterns in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease when treated with vedolizumab. This will include the administration choices which can either be an infusion through a vein (intravenous or IV), or an injection just under the skin (subcutaneous injection, or SC).

Treatment will be determined by the study doctor according to routine clinical practice.

This is a non-interventional, prospective study of participants with IBD who initiated or who are currently ongoing induction or maintenance with vedolizumab in the real world setting.

The study will enroll approximately 120 participants. The data will be collected prospectively at the study sites and will be recorded into electronic case report forms (e-CRFs). All the participants will be assigned to a single observational cohort:

• Participants with IBD

This multi-center study will be conducted in Croatia and Slovenia having specialized gastroenterology centers. The overall duration of the study will be at least 26 months. Data will be collected at baseline, at 3 months (+/- 1 month) after induction, and every 6 months (+/- 1 month) after that, and at the time of switch, discontinuation and/or at routine follow-up visits up to 12 months.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has moderately to severely active IBD (UC or CD), initiating or ongoing IV induction treatment with vedolizumab in accordance with the current SmPC at baseline OR IBD participants receiving ongoing/maintenance IV vedolizumab treatment, with the option to switch to SC vedolizumab maintenance treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior history of intolerability, hypersensitivity, or other contraindications (active severe infections such as tuberculosis, sepsis, cytomegalovirus, listeriosis, and opportunistic infections such as Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy) to vedolizumab therapy as defined in the current SmPC.
2. Current or planned participation in an interventional clinical trial for CD or UC.
3. Cognitive incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or cooperation.
