Outcomes with anti-TNF in biologic exposed Efficacy of subcutaneous biologics impacted by prior biologic exposure Impact of prior biologic exposure on efficacy of Infliximab less clear Chaparro M WJG 2012
Efficacy as first line agent Good efficacy for Induction and Maintanence therapy in UC and CD Prior biologics WILL impact efficacy Good efficacy for Induction and Maintanence therapy in UC and CD Prior biologics MAY impact efficacy Vedolizumab Anti-TNF
Safety: Is Vedolizumab Gut Selective? No peripheral blood lymphocytosis No protective effect in primate model of MS (EAE) No inversion of CD4\CD8 ratio in CSF of humans Clinical data – no cases of PML observed Preservation of systemic humoral responses to T cell dependent antigens with modest impairment to oral antigen (vaccine study)

Black Box Warnings Vedolizumab Ant-TNF None Serious Infections Increased risk of serious infections leading to hospitalization or death, including tuberculosis (TB), bacterial sepsis, invasive fungal infections (such as histoplasmosis) and infections due to other opportunistic pathogens. Malignancy Lymphoma and other malignancies Fatal hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma
Comparison of Lymphoma (Vedolizumab, Natalizumab) Lymphoma Expected Rate (General Population) 2/10,000 PYF Anti-TNF therapy 6/10,000 PYF Anti-integrins (Vedolizumab, Natalizumab) 3/10,000 PYF Dulai PS, Siegel CA. GCNA 2014
Dermatology (psoriasis) Other Risks Vedolizumab Anti-TNF therapy Serious Infection - +/- Opportunistic + Demyelinating Autoimmune (SLE, vasculitis) Dermatology (psoriasis) Cardiac (CHF) Pulmonary (Sarcoidosis, ILD) Caveat: most new drugs have additional toxicities identified during post-marketing surveillance Kopylov U.

Risks of Therapy Anti-TNF Vedolizumab Good efficacy for Induction and Maintanence therapy in UC and CD Prior biologics WILL impact efficacy Low risk of malignancy, driven by IMM No signal for systemtic risks Good efficacy for Induction and Maintanence therapy in UC and CD Prior biologics MAY impact efficacy Low risk of malignancy, driven by IMM Systemtic risks well established Vedolizumab Anti-TNF
Which one would you choose? Drug A Drug B Efficacy similar Lower if used second Gut selective with no signal of other risks Efficacy similar Unclear if lower as 2nd line Clear association to other systemic risks
