🧭 Vedolizumab promotes small-bowel and pan-enteric healing in Crohn’s disease

Pan-enteric capsule endoscopy was used to track small-bowel and colonic healing during 52 weeks of vedolizumab therapy

🔎 Key findings from 44 patients:
🔸 Pan-enteric mucosal healing achieved in 15.9% of patients at week 52
🔸 Small-bowel mucosal healing improved markedly over time (from 4.5% to 18.2%)
🔸 Significant reductions in inflammatory markers and endoscopic scores (CRP, FCP, Lewis score, Eliakim score, CDAI)
🔸 Vedolizumab was well tolerated, with no serious safety concerns

💡 Vedolizumab led to meaningful biochemical and endoscopic improvement, supporting its role as an effective option for small-bowel Crohn’s disease when monitored with pan-enteric capsule endoscopy
