Filter by:The disease activity index under intestinal color ultrasound was evaluated by SUS-CD, and the disease activity index under capsule endoscopy was evaluated by CECDAI. All subjects underwent intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy at baseline and at the third month of treatment. To compare the correlation between SUS-CD and CECDAI before and after treatment, and to compare the role of intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy in monitoring Crohn's disease in small intestine.
The overall goal of the study is to develop data that can convincingly guide clinicians on the use and efficacy of vedolizumab in patients with small bowel CD. There is an unmet need to identify response to vedolizumab in small bowel CD using objective endpoints. Current data suggest that MR enterography may meet this unmet need. There is an additional unmet need to develop predictive models incorporating both clinical and baseline radiological and endoscopic variables with higher discriminatory performance in identifying longer term clinical remission with vedolizumab. Finally, this proposal is strengthened by the exploratory studies which may identify new proteomic biomarkers that correlate with longer term radiological response with vedolizumab reflecting its latency of response. If successful, these serum biomarkers may guide a personalized approach to the treatment of small bowel CD with vedolizumab, allowing early identification of PNR, monitoring disease activity and the pharmacodynamics of vedolizumab.
