A Study of Vedolizumab With Tofacitinib in Adults With Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

The drugs being tested in this study are called Vedolizumab and Tofacitinib. Vedolizumab and Tofacitinib dual targeted therapy is being tested to treat people with moderate to severe UC who have experienced inadequate response, loss of response or intolerance to no more than 2 prior tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists. This study will look at the clinical remission in people who take Vedolizumab and Tofacitinib dual targeted therapy. The study will enroll approximately 60 participants. All the participants will be enrolled in a single treatment group to receive dual targeted treatment with Vedolizumab and Tofacitinib for the first 8 weeks: Vedolizumab 300 mg + Tofacitinib 10 mg Only those participants who show a clinical response at Week 8 will transition to Vedolizumab monotherapy for 44 weeks. This multi-center trial will be conducted in the United States and Canada. The overall duration of the study is up to 76 weeks. Participants will be followed up for 26 weeks after the last dose of the study drug for safety.
