Vedolizumab has been linked to a low rate of serum enzyme elevations during therapy, but has not been linked to cases of idiosyncratic, clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice. Because vedolizumab is a potent inhibitor of lymphocyte function, it may cause reactivation of chronic hepatitis B in susceptible patients.</p></div><div id="Vedolizumab.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Vedolizumab (ve&#x0201d; doe liz&#x02019; ue mab) is a humanized monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 antibody to integrin &#x003b1;4&#x003b2;7 (also known as lymphocyte Peyer&#x02019;s patch adhesion molecule 1: LPAM-1), a cell surface molecule that plays a role trafficking inflammatory cells to sites of injury in the gastrointestinal mucosa. Vedolizumab is one of several inhibitors of integrin &#x003b1;4&#x003b2;7 that have been evaluated in autoimmune conditions. In controlled clinical trials, vedolizumab has been shown to decrease inflammation and improve symptoms in patients with refractory or relapsing inflammatory bowel disease. Vedolizumab was approved for use in the United States for both ulcerative colitis and Crohn colitis in 2014 and is recommended only for patients with moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease who have not responded to corticosteroids, immunosuppressants or TNF antagonists. Vedolizumab is available as a lyophilized power in single use vials of 300 mg under the brand name Entyvio. Vedolizumab is given intravenously in a dose of 300 mg over approximately 30 minutes at 0 and 2 weeks, followed by every 4 weeks thereafter. Common side effects include injection site reactions, chills, fever, skin rash and fatigue. Less common, but potentially severe side effects include hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis, opportunistic infections, reactivation of tuberculosis or hepatitis B, congestive heart failure, lymphoma and other malignancies and demyelinating diseases.</p></div><div id="Vedolizumab.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In prelicensure controlled trials, rates of serum ALT elevations during vedolizumab were not reported, although instances of serum enzyme elevations were described. ALT elevations above 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) were said to occur in &#x0003c;2% of vedolizumab and in a similar proportion of placebo recipients, and only rare patients had to stop therapy because of serum enzyme elevations. In the prelicensure trials, 3 patients were reported to have a severe adverse reaction of hepatitis, but the specific details were not given. Since its approval and more widespread use, there have been a few isolated reports of liver injury occurring during vedolizumab therapy but usually in the presence of other competing causes.</p><p>However, vedolizumab is a potent immunomodulatory agent and may be capable of causing reactivation of hepatitis B. To date, however, neither vedolizumab nor natalizumab (another monoclonal antibody to integrin &#x003b1;4&#x003b2;7) have been linked to instances of reactivation of hepatitis B. Nevertheless, because of the possibility of reactivation, screening for markers of HBV infection before starting therapy is prudent. Patients with HBsAg or anti-HBc in serum should be monitored for evidence of reactivation and treated promptly with antiviral therapy if HBV DNA or HBsAg appear.</p><p>Finally, vedolizumab may reactivate other viral infections and acute hepatitis due to an opportunistic viral infection.</p><p>Likelihood score: D (possible rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Vedolizumab.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Why a monoclonal antibody would cause hepatic injury is unclear. The mechanism of liver injury in reactivation of hepatitis B appears to be a brisk immunological response to newly expressed viral antigens. Injury generally arises after the immunosuppressive therapy has stopped or between courses of treatment.</p></div><div id="Vedolizumab.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Current guidelines for management of patients who are to receive vedolizumab do not recommend routine screening for hepatitis B before starting treatment. If screening is planned, it should include tests for HBsAg and anti-HBc (and perhaps also anti-HBs as this may help in management). An appropriate approach for patients with markers of hepatitis B is careful monitoring for HBV DNA during therapy and early institution of antiviral therapy if levels rise. While reactivation of tuberculosis has been reported after vedolizumab therapy, instances of reactivation of hepatitis B have not, although experience with the agent has been limited and patients with preexisting hepatitis B were typically excluded from prelicensure studies.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/GastrointestinalAgen/">Gastrointestinal Agents</a>, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Agents, <a href="/books/n/livertox/MonoclonalAntibodies/">Monoclonal Antibodies</a></p></div></div><div id="Vedolizumab.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Vedolizumab_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
