These results do not support pharmacokinetics as the mechanism responsible for loss of response to vedolizumab, nor do they support a need for higher drug concentration to enhance vedolizumab's immune effects. Higher pre-escalation levels may indicate less clearance [less severe disease] and higher likelihood of subsequent re-gained response, regardless of therapy escalation.
