Changes in Patient-Reported Outcomes With Vedolizumab Therapy in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD): Results From the IBD Partners Patient Powered Research Network

Background: We described changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) with vedolizumab (VDZ) use in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods: We included patients initiating VDZ with at least 6 months of follow-up in the IBD Partners cohort. We stratified by biologic naive (BN) or biologic exposed (BE) status. Outcomes included PROs. Results: We included 380 patients with IBD. Remission rates at follow-up were higher for BN versus BE (65.1% vs 45.5%, P < 0.01). BN patients experienced significant improvements in social satisfaction (P < 0.01). BN status was associated with remission (adjusted odds ratio, 3.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.67-6.77). Conclusions: Improvements in PROs were seen with VDZ, particularly in BN populations.
