About This Ulcerative Colitis Study in Sun City

The main aim of this study is to learn about the effect of treatment with vedolizumab IV (vedolizumab) together with tofacitinib in adults with moderate and severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Another aim is to learn about treatment with Vedolizumab alone after the double treatment. All participants will receive vedolizumab together with tofacitinib for 8 weeks and will be checked for response. Participants who show a response to the treatment after 8 weeks will be treated with vedolizumab alone fo

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Has a confirmed diagnosis of UC established at least 3 months prior to screening, by clinical and endoscopic evidence and corroborated by a histopathology report.
Has moderately to severely active UC as determined by a complete Mayo score \[including physician's global assessment (PGA)\] of 6 to 12 with a rectal bleeding subscore ≥1 and a centrally assessed endoscopic subscore ≥2 at screening.
Has evidence of UC extending proximally to the rectum \[≥15 centimeter (cm) of involved colon\].
Participants with extensive colitis or pancolitis of \>8 years duration or left sided colitis \>12 years duration must have documented evidence that a surveillance colonoscopy was performed within 12 months of the initial screening visit.
Participants with a family history of colorectal cancer, personal history of increased colorectal cancer risk, age \>50 years, or other known risk factors must be up to date on colorectal cancer surveillance.
Has demonstrated an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least 1, but no more than 2 TNFα antagonists. Participants without prior failure or intolerance to biologics are not eligible. Participants who discontinued TNFα antagonist therapy for reasons other than failure or intolerance (eg, pregnancy) may be eligible after discussion with the medical monitor. Note: After the interim analysis, participants with inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to conventional UC therapy without prior exposure to biologics may be enrolled if deemed appropriate. Participants who discontinued biologics for reasons other than failure or intolerance (eg, pregnancy) may be eligible after discussion with the Medical Monitor.
If using corticosteroids must be on a stable dose of oral corticosteroids up to a maximum of 40 mg daily of prednisone or 9 mg daily of budesonide, or equivalent for at least 2 weeks prior to screening endoscopy and must be willing to follow a mandatory taper of corticosteroids from enrollment.

History of TB.
A diagnostic TB test performed during screening that is positive, as defined by: i. A positive QuantiFERON test or 2 successive indeterminate QuantiFERON tests or ii. A tuberculin skin test reaction ≥10 mm (≥5 mm in subjects receiving the equivalent of \>15 mg daily prednisone).
A positive test for hepatitis B virus (HBV).
A positive test for hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Evidence of, or treatment for, Clostridium difficile infection or other intestinal pathogen within 28 days prior to first dose of study treatment.

Evidence of active Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection at screening. Medication exclusion criteria:
Has received immunomodulators (eg, 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, and methotrexate) within 4 weeks prior to first dose or immunosuppressants (eg, cyclosporine, tacrolimus) within 8 weeks prior to first dose.
Any medicinal product, herbal medication, or natural health product which might interfere with cytochrome P450 genotype 3A4 (CYP3A4) within 2 weeks prior to enrollment, except for any CYP3A4 modulator used to treat a C. difficile or an intestinal pathogen infection at screening.
