Incidence of pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections with vedolizumab treatment for inflammatory bowel disease: clinical trial experience
Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a humanised monoclonal antibody that binds to α4β7 integrin and selectively blocks gut-specific lymphocyte trafficking. Although upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) have been reported with VDZ [1] its gut selectivity may reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections (RTIs), including pneumonia, compared with therapies producing systemic immunosuppression (e.g. anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha [TNFα] agents). We aimed to determine the incidence of RTIs associated with VDZ treatment in the clinical trial setting
