Takeda study finds vedolizumab (Entyvio®) more effective than placebo inducing remission of chronic pouchitis after undergoing IPAA for UC

Mar 30, 2023

A Takeda study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that vedolizumab was more effective than a placebo at inducing remission in patients with chronic pouchitis after undergoing ileal pouch–anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC).  31% of patients who received Takeda’s Entyvio®/Kynteles®/MLN0002 (vedolizumab) were in remission after 14 weeks, compared to 10% who received the placebo.

In March 2023, Takeda received Japanese approval for subcutaneous Entyvio® as maintenance therapy for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in patients with inadequate response to conventional treatment.
