TDM Cohort: Correlation Between Week 6 Vedolizumab TDM and Week 30 Faecal Calprotectin (FCP) |
The relationship between vedolizumab TDM at Week 6 and FCP levels at Week 30 were studied using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Multivariate analyses were performed to control for possible confounding factors such as age, sex, disease type (CD/UC), duration, prior immunomodulator/biologic therapy, vedolizumab start and end dates, vedolizumab dose, vedolizumab frequency, and albumin. FCP was used as a surrogate marker for disease severity, and by extension drug efficacy. The FCP level was detected in participant's stool 30 weeks after the participant's first dose of vedolizumab. FCP was treated as a continuous variable for correlation analysis to determine Spearman's correlation coefficient. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in participants enrolled in the TDM Cohort. |

TDM Cohort: C-reactive Protein (CRP) Level at Week 30 |
The CRP level were detected in participant's blood 30 weeks after the participant's first dose of vedolizumab. CRP was used as a surrogate marker for disease severity, and by extension drug efficacy. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed separately in participants with UC and CD who were collectively a part of the TDM Cohort. |

TDM Cohort: Disease Score for Crohn's Disease (CD) Participants Based on Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) at Week 30 |
Disease activity scores of CD participants were based on HBI. It consists of clinical parameters: general well-being (0 = very well to 4 = terrible), abdominal pain (0 = none to 3 = severe), number of liquid or soft stools per day, abdominal mass (0 = none to 3 = definite and tender), and complications (8 items; 1 score per item). The total score is sum of sub scores, where score <5 = remission, 5 to 7 = mild disease activity, 8 to 16 = moderate disease activity and >16 = severe disease activity. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in participants with CD. |

TDM Cohort: Disease Score for Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Participants Based on Partial Mayo Score at Week 30 |
Disease activity scores of UC participants were based on Partial Mayo score. It consists of 3 sub-scores: stool pattern, most severe rectal bleeding of the day, and global assessment by physician, each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These scores are summed to give a total score range of 0 to 9. Here, higher scores indicate more severe disease. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in participants with UC. |

Number of Participants Categorized Based on Dose Escalation |
Dose escalation was defined as a change from doses every 8 weeks to every 4 weeks. |
Baseline (Week 0) up to Week 30 (after first dose of vedolizumab) |
|
| Secondary |
TDM Cohort: Number of Participants Categorized Based on Treatment Persistence at the End of the TDM Study at Week 30 |
Treatment persistence was defined as whether the participant was still on the treatment at the end of the TDM study. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in participants enrolled in the TDM Cohort. |
After the first dose of vedolizumab (at Week 30) |
|

Treatment Duration |
Treatment duration was defined as the length of time a participant remains on treatment (i.e., from the year 2015 to 2020). |
From treatment initiation up to discontinuation of treatment or up to data extraction date Oct 2020), whichever occurs first (maximum up to approximately 5 years) |
