Takeda announced the U.S. FDA's acceptance of its Biologics License Application (BLA) resubmission for the investigational subcutaneous administration of Entyvio (vedolizumab) for maintenance therapy in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). This resubmission addresses FDA feedback from a 2019 Complete Response Letter (CRL). The resubmission includes additional data on the SC administration of Entyvio, which is currently available in intravenous form. Takeda expects a decision by the end of 2023. The pivotal VISIBLE 1 trial, assessing the SC formulation, involved 216 adult patients and demonstrated a primary endpoint of clinical remission at week 52.
