ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This analysis evaluated the relative performance of vedolizumab and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) agents in subpopulations of biologic therapy-naive patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and assessed whether patients in whom vedolizumab would have a larger treatment effect vs anti-TNFα agents could be identified.METHODS:
Data were from EVOLVE, a real-world, multicountry, retrospective cohort study of patients with inflammatory bowel disease who initiated first-line biologic treatment with vedolizumab (n = 195) or anti-TNFα agents (n = 245). Prediction models for time to clinical remission were developed in vedolizumab- and anti-TNFα-treated patients and used to estimate effect scores, a metric of predicted comparative efficacy, for each patient. Patients were ranked by effect scores and potential subpopulations were investigated. Simplified rules to identify these subpopulations were also developed using classification tree analysis.RESULTS:
Among all patients, median time to clinical remission was 7.8 months (vedolizumab) and 11.1 months (anti-TNFα) (P < 0.05). Among patients in the top 40% of the effect score distribution, the median time to clinical remission was 4.8 months (vedolizumab) vs 18.1 months (anti-TNFα) (adjusted hazard ratio 2.0, 95% confidence interval 1.3-2.9). A simplified rule for identifying a subpopulation more likely to benefit from vedolizumab was based on having an ongoing CD exacerbation, no prior emergency visits, and non-stricturing disease.CONCLUSIONS:
Subpopulations of biologic-naive patients with CD in whom vedolizumab appeared to have a larger effect relative to anti-TNFα agents for the outcome of clinical remission were identified. Validation of the identified subpopulations and simplified rules are warranted to confirm these findings. GOV IDENTIFIER NCT03710486. Graphical Abstract available for this article.Palabras clave
