Résumé

Vedolizumab (Entyvio) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that disrupts the interaction between α4β7 integrin on circulating T-lymphocytes and MAdCAM-1 on the vascular endothelium to prevent their egress to sites of gut inflammation. It has proven therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and pouchitis.
