ENTYVIO
Entyvio (vedolizumab) is an integrin receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of adult patients. It is specifically approved for the management of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The medication provides a therapeutic approach for adults suffering from these chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal conditions.
How ENTYVIO Works
Vedolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the α4β7 integrin found on certain memory T-lymphocytes. By binding to this integrin, the drug blocks its interaction with mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1), a protein mainly expressed on gut endothelial cells. This blockade inhibits the migration of these inflammatory cells across the endothelium into gastrointestinal tissue. This targeted action helps reduce the chronic inflammation that characterizes both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
