IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• ENTYVIO (vedolizumab) for injection is contraindicated in patients who have had a known serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction to
ENTYVIO or any of its excipients.
• Infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, flushing, rash, and
increased blood pressure and heart rate been reported. These reactions may occur with the first or subsequent infusions and may
vary in their time of onset from during infusion or up to several hours post-infusion. If anaphylaxis or other serious infusion-related or
hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue administration of ENTYVIO immediately and initiate appropriate treatment.
• Patients treated with ENTYVIO are at increased risk for developing infections. Serious infections have been reported in patients
treated with ENTYVIO, including anal abscess, sepsis (some fatal), tuberculosis, salmonella sepsis, Listeria meningitis, giardiasis, and
cytomegaloviral colitis. ENTYVIO is not recommended in patients with active, severe infections until the infections are controlled. Consider
withholding ENTYVIO in patients who develop a severe infection while on treatment with ENTYVIO. Exercise caution in patients with a
history of recurring severe infections. Consider screening for tuberculosis (TB) according to the local practice.
• Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare and often fatal opportunistic infection of the central nervous system (CNS), has
been reported with systemic immunosuppressants, including another integrin receptor antagonist. PML is caused by the John Cunningham
(JC) virus and typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised. One case of PML in an ENTYVIO-treated patient with
multiple contributory factors has been reported in the post marketing setting (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection with a
CD4 count of 300 cells/mm
3
and prior and concomitant immunosuppression). Although unlikely, a risk of PML cannot be ruled out. Monitor
patients for any new or worsening neurological signs or symptoms. Typical signs and symptoms associated with PML are diverse, progress
over days to weeks, and include progressive weakness on one side of the body or clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, and changes
in thinking, memory, and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes. If PML is suspected, withhold dosing with ENTYVIO and
refer to a neurologist; if confirmed, discontinue ENTYVIO dosing permanently.
• There have been reports of elevations of transaminase and/or bilirubin in patients receiving ENTYVIO. ENTYVIO should be
discontinued in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury.
• Prior to initiating treatment with ENTYVIO, all patients should be brought up to date with all immunizations according to current
immunization guidelines. Patients receiving ENTYVIO may receive non-live vaccines and may receive live vaccines if the benefits
outweigh the risks.
• Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3% and ≥1% higher than placebo): nasopharyngitis, headache, arthralgia, nausea,
pyrexia, upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, cough, bronchitis, influenza, back pain, rash, pruritus, sinusitis, oropharyngeal pain,
and pain in extremities.
