P190 REAL-WORLD USE OF IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVES AMONG PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE TREATED WITH VEDOLIZUMAB

Immunosuppressives (IM) are often used as maintenance therapy to reduce the risk of relapse in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Vedolizumab (VDZ), a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively targets the α4β7 integrin, has been approved for the treatment of moderately-to-severely active Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to assess the real-world use of IM therapy and compare outcomes in IBD patients with or without a history of IM use, who initiated VDZ treatment in the US.
