Summary

This trial aims to study the effectiveness of treating Crohn's disease patients to a specific target using noninvasive intestinal ultrasound (IUS), clinical symptoms, and biomarkers. Participants will be randomly assigned

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-80 with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's Disease, evidenced by specific ultrasound and biomarker levels. Participants can be biologic-naïve or have limited prior treatment with advanced therapies for CD. They must not be pregnant and agree to use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if targeting transmural healing using vedolizumab plus monitoring with intestinal ultrasound, clinical symptoms, and biomarkers leads to better outcomes than just targeting clinical symptoms and biomarkers without the ultrasound component.
What are the potential side effects?
Vedolizumab may cause side effects such as risk of infection, infusion-related reactions like headache or fever, potential liver issues, allergic reactions including rash or itching, joint pain, nausea or fatigue.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group 2: Corticosteroid-free clinical remission + biomarker remission.Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Group 2 will be treated over 48 weeks to achieve a target of corticosteroid-free clinical remission + biomarker remission.
Group II: Group 1: Corticosteroid-free IUS-based outcomes + clinical remission + biomarker remissionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Group 1 will be treated over 48 weeks to achieve a target of corticosteroid-free IUS-based outcomes + clinical remission + biomarker remission. At Week 22 and 30, the IUS-based component of the target will be IUS response and at Week 38, the final treatment target will be TMH.
