Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the PK of single dose of vedolizumab SC 108 milligram (mg) administered as PFS vs investigational device.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Healthy Volunteers	Drug: Vedolizumab SC	Phase 1

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called vedolizumab SC. The study will assess the PK, and variability of a vedolizumab SC in a PFS versus an investigational device.

This study will include 2 different device delivery presentations in 2 treatment groups. Participants in each treatment group will be randomized to one of the three administration sites: Abdomen, thigh, or arm. The study will enroll approximately 102 participants, including 17 participants allocated to each administration site within each treatment group. Participants will be randomly assigned (per randomization schedule) to one of the two treatment groups:

• Group A: Vedolizumab SC PFS

• Group B: Vedolizumab SC Investigational Device

All participants will receive a single dose of study drug on Day 1.

This single center trial will be conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 196 days. Participants will be contacted by telephone on Day 168 after their last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment which will involve the progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) questionnaire survey.

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details	Participants took part in the study at 1 investigative site in the United States from 21 February 2018 to 21 September 2018.
Pre-assignment Detail	Healthy participants were enrolled in one of the two device presentation groups to receive vedolizumab subcutaneous (SC) 108 milligram (mg) using prefilled syringe (PFS) or using an investigational device.

Adverse Events

Time Frame	Treatment-emergent adverse events are adverse events that started after the administration of the study drug and no more than Day 127
Adverse Event Reporting Description	At each visit the investigator had to assess any occurrence of adverse events. Participants may report AEs occurring at any other time during the study. Any event spontaneously reported by the participant or observed by the investigator was recorded, irrespective of the relation to study treatment. The study was planned to collect data based on two device delivery presentations, not as per administration sites (abdomen, thigh, or arm).
