What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 14
Clinical response is defined as ≥8 point decrease in 2-component patient-reported outcome (PRO2) score from baseline. The PRO2 is constituted by abdominal pain and number of liquid stools components of the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). The PRO-2 score is the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score. The average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2 for stool frequency and 5 for abdominal pain).
Measured: Up to Week 14
Secondary outcomes (7)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Week 14
Clinical remission is defined as PRO2 score <8 from baseline. The PRO2 is comprised of the stool frequency and abdominal pain components of the CDAI. The PRO-2 score is the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score. The average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2 for stool frequency and 5 for abdominal pain).
Measured: Up to Week 14
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Response at Week 14
Endoscopic response is defined as Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) reduction by ≥50%. The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of the surface area that is ulcerated, percentage of the surface area affected, and presence and type of narrowings in 5 colonic segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum). The score for each endoscopic variable is sum of values obtained for each segment. The SES-CD total is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 60, where higher scores indicate more severe disease.
Measured: Up to Week 14
Percentage of Participants Achieving Both Clinical Response and Endoscopic Response at Week 14
Clinical response:≥8 point decrease in PRO2 score from baseline. Endoscopic response:SES-CD reduction by ≥50%.PRO2:number of liquid stools and abdominal pain components of the CDAI. PRO-2 score:sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score.Average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (0=no pain and 3=severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2= stool frequency;5= abdominal pain).Negative change indicates clinical response achieved.SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of the surface area that is ulcerated, percentage of the surface area affected, and presence of narrowings) in 5 colonic segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum).Score for each endoscopic variable=sum of values obtained for each segment.SES-CD total=sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 60, where higher scores=more severe disease.
Measured: Up to Week 14
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) and AEs Leading to Discontinuation
AE:any untoward medical occurrence in clinical investigation participants administered a drug;it does not necessarily have to have causal relationship with treatment.SAE:any untoward medical occurrence that:1)results in death,2)is life-threatening,3)requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,4)results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity,5)leads to a congenital anomaly/birth defect in offspring of participant or6)is medically important event that satisfies any of following:a)May require intervention to prevent items 1 through 5 above.b)May expose participant to danger,even though event is not immediately life threatening or fatal or does not result in hospitalization.AESI:serious infections,opportunistic infections such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy(PML);liver injury;malignancies;infusion-related reactions,injection site reactions,systemic reactions,and hypersensitivity.
Measured: From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks)
Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Change from Baseline in Vital Sign Values
Vital signs assessment will include body temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and pulse (beats per minute). Abnormal values will be determined by the investigator.
Measured: From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks)
Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Change from Baseline in Laboratory Values
Laboratory parameter assessment will include hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis. Abnormal values will be determined by the central lab.
Measured: From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks)
Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Change from Baseline in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Values
The ECG results will be interpreted using 1 of the following categories: within normal limits, abnormal but not clinically significant, or abnormal and clinically significant. Abnormal values are determined by the investigator.
Measured: From first dose up to 18 weeks after the final dose of vedolizumab (Up to approximately 78 weeks)

Key inclusion criteria (9 listed)
- The participant has a diagnosis of CD established at least 3 months before screening by clinical and endoscopic evidence corroborated by a histopathology report. Cases of CD established at least 6 months before randomization for which a histopathology report is not available will be considered based on the weight of evidence supporting the diagnosis and excluding other potential diagnoses, and must be discussed with the sponsor on a case-by-case basis before randomization.
- The participant has moderately to severely active CD as determined by a 2-component patient-reported outcome (PRO2) score of 14 to 34 points and a Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score of ≥6 (or ≥4 in cases of isolated ileitis) on screening ileocolonoscopy.
- The participant has CD involvement of the ileum and/or colon, at a minimum.
- A participant with extensive colitis or pancolitis of >8 years duration or limited colitis of >12 years duration must have documented evidence that a surveillance colonoscopy was performed within 12 months before initial screening (may be performed during screening if not performed in previous 12 months).
- A participant with a family history of colorectal cancer, personal history of increased colorectal cancer risk, age >50 years, or other known risk factor must be up-to-date on colorectal cancer surveillance (may be performed during screening).
Key exclusion criteria (28 listed)
- Gastrointestinal (GI) Exclusion Criteria:
- The participant has evidence of abdominal abscess at the initial screening visit.
- The participant has had extensive colonic resection, subtotal or total colectomy.
- The participant has a history of >3 small bowel resections or diagnosis of short bowel syndrome.
- The participant has received tube feeding, defined formula diets, or parenteral alimentation within 21 days before administration of the first dose of study drug.
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 14
Time frame: Up to Week 14
Clinical response is defined as ≥8 point decrease in 2-component patient-reported outcome (PRO2) score from baseline. The PRO2 is constituted by abdominal pain and number of liquid stools components of the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). The PRO-2 score is the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score. The average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2 for stool frequency and 5 for abdominal pain).
7 secondary outcomes
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Week 14
Time frame: Up to Week 14
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Response at Week 14

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Vedolizumab IV in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Takeda at 43 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 43 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Takeda Contact (+1-877-825-3327, medinfoUS@takeda.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 14 (time frame: Up to Week 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2026.
