About this study

The drug being tested in this study is called Vedolizumab. Vedolizumab is being tested to treat pediatric participants who have moderately to severely active UC or CD.

This study will look at the long-term safety profile in participants who take vedolizumab IV. Participants will continue receiving the same dose assigned from the parent study MLN0002-2003 [NCT03138655], which will remain blinded until week 40.

The dosing regimen selected for the long-term study is intended to maintain clinical response at the lowest possible exposure.

At the discretion of the investigator, participants receiving the low dose (150 or 100 milligram [mg]) of vedolizumab IV may be escalated to the high dose (300 or 200 mg) if the participants demonstrate disease worsening at 2 consecutive visits (scheduled or unscheduled).

Participants who experience continued disease worsening during the study despite being administered vedolizumab 300 or 200 mg every 8 weeks (Q8W) will be discontinued from the study.

Study duration will be until vedolizumab IV is commercially available for pediatric indication(s) in the participant's country or until other drug access programs become available (whichever comes first), the participant turns 18 years of age and can be transitioned to commercial drug, the participant withdraws from the study, or the sponsor decides to close the study (up to approximately 8 years).

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Is male or female with UC or CD and was between 2 to 17 years, inclusive, at the time of randomization for Study MLN0002-2003.

(Note: A participant remains eligible to participate in this study after they reach 18 years of age if they continue to meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria.)

  • Has completed Study MLN0002-2003 and, at Week 22, achieved clinical response as defined by a reduction of partial Mayo score of >=2 points and >=25% from Baseline, or a reduction of the Paediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) of >=20 points from baseline for participants with UC; or a reduction of the CDAI as defined by a >=70-point decrease from Baseline or a decrease of Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) of >=15 points for participants with CD.
  • May be receiving a therapeutic dose of the following drugs:
  • Oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds.
  • Oral corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent steroid at a dose less than or equal to [<=] 50 milligram per day [mg/day]) provided the participant was receiving this medication during prior participation in MLN0002-2003.
  • Topical (rectal) treatment with 5-ASA or corticosteroids.
  • Probiotics (example, Saccharomyces boulardii).
  • Antidiarrheals (example, loperamide, diphenoxylate with atropine) for control of chronic diarrhea.
  • Antibiotics used for the treatment of CD (i.e., ciprofloxacin, metronidazole).
  • Azathioprine (AZA) or 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) or methotrexate (MTX), provided the participant was receiving this medication during prior participation in MLN0002-2003.
  • The participant's vaccinations are up to date as per inclusion criteria number 10 in MLN0002-2003.

Exclusion criteria

  • Is female and is lactating or pregnant.
  • Has hypersensitivity or allergies to vedolizumab or any of its excipients.
  • Has withdrawn from Study MLN0002-2003.
  • Has developed any new unstable or uncontrolled cardiovascular, heart failure moderate to severe (New York Class Association III or IV), pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary, hematological, coagulation, immunological, endocrine/metabolic, neurological, or other medical disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would confound the study results or compromise participant safety.
  • Has a positive progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) subjective symptom checklist prior to the administration of the first dose of study drug.
  • Currently requires major surgical intervention for UC or CD (example, bowel resection), or is anticipated to require major surgical intervention for UC or CD during the study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow up (up to 6.8 years)

    AE defined as any untoward medical occurrence in clinical investigation participants administered drug; it does not necessarily have to have causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug whether or not it was considered related to the drug. TEAE was defined as an AE whose date of onset occurred on or after the first dose of study drug, or an already-present AE that worsened in intensity or frequency following the treatment start, occurring from the first dose of study drug to the day of last dose of study drug.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With UC Who Achieved and Maintained Clinical Response Based on Complete Mayo Score

    Time frame: At Week 32

    Clinical response was defined as a continued reduction in complete Mayo score of >=3 points and >=30 percent (%) from baseline (at initiation of MLN0002-2003) and continued decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of >=1 point from baseline, or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of less than or equal to (<=1) point. Mayo score was an instrument designed to measure disease activity of UC. It consisted of 4 subscores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding, findings on endoscopy and physician rating of disease activity, each graded from 0 to 3 where 0 indicated normal and 3 indicated more severe disease. These scores were summed to give a total score range of 0 to 12; where higher scores indicated more severe disease.

  2. Percentage of Participants With CD Who Achieved and Maintained Clinical Response Based on Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) Score and Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at Week 32

    Time frame: At Week 32

    Maintenance of clinical response based on SES-CD and CDAI was defined as a 50% reduction in SES-CD score on endoscopy compared to the baseline endoscopy [at initiation of MLN0002-2003 (NCT03138655)]; and continued reduction in CDAI that is a >= 70 point decrease from the baseline CDAI score at the initiation of MLN0002-2003 (NCT03138655). CDAI was a research tool used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's disease. SES-CD consisted of 3 variables: ulcer size, ulcerated and affected surfaces and presence of narrowing each graded from 0 to 3 with score of 0 means no colonic lesions or mucosal healing, and SES-CD greater than (>) 1 indicated the presence of mucosal lesions.

  3. Time to Major Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - Related Events

    Time frame: Up to 6.8 years

    Time to major IBD-related events was defined as time from study treatment start to first major IBD-related hospitalization, surgery, or procedure due to UC and CD.

Rated in 5 stages: stage 1 (no development) to 5 (adult-like development in quantity and size). Tanner stage was assessed at or before age 16 years for females or 17 years for males.
