P527 Investigating fatigue in vedolizumab-treated patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease from a Belgian registry

Abstract Background Vedolizumab (VDZ) has demonstrated remission in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), but its impact on patient (pt) fatigue is not well understood. Herein we report interim fatigue analysis data from a Belgian registry of VDZ-treated pts. Methods Ad-hoc analysis from the prospective observational Belgian VDZ registry (started, November 2016; data cutoff, February 2019), a sub-study of the European VDZ post-authorization safety study (ENcePP EUPAS6469) included pts aged ≥18 years with UC or CD with ongoing VDZ intravenous therapy (≥2 weeks) at recruitment. At ba... Mehr ...

Abstract Background Vedolizumab (VDZ) has demonstrated remission in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), but its impact on patient (pt) fatigue is not well understood. Herein we report interim fatigue analysis data from a Belgian registry of VDZ-treated pts. Methods Ad-hoc analysis from the prospective observational Belgian VDZ registry (started, November 2016; data cutoff, February 2019), a sub-study of the European VDZ post-authorization safety study (ENcePP EUPAS6469) included pts aged ≥18 years with UC or CD with ongoing VDZ intravenous therapy (≥2 weeks) at recruitment. At baseline (recruitment) and every 6 months, physicians collected data (follow-up was 3 years or 1 year after last dose if VDZ was discontinued [whichever occurred first] and pts completed the 13-Item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) scale. Clinical remission was defined as Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) score <5 for CD, and partial Mayo score (pMS) <2 with no individual subscore >1 for UC. This analysis explored the association (using generalized estimating equations) between all available FACIT-F total scores and baseline demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics in the treatment analysis set (TAS; pts had ≥1 VDZ dose and ≥1 year of follow-up records). Results The registry enrolled 202 VDZ-treated UC and CD pts from 19 Belgian centres. TAS included 141 pts (UC 47, CD 94); median follow-up was 537 days; 140/141 pts had ≥1 FACIT-F score. In the UC and CD groups, respectively, 68% and 42% of pts were male; median (IQR) age at index date was 51 (37–59) and 40 (29–52); and baseline median (IQR) FACIT-F total score was 39 (32–46) and 32 (24–40). Lower FACIT-F score (more fatigue) was associated with higher pMS in UC (p<0.001), and higher HBI score (p=0.01) and having ongoing fistulas at baseline (p=0.01) in CD (Table). Less fatigue was associated with being in remission at baseline in both UC and CD (p<0.01). Being male was associated with less fatigue in ...
