An Open-Label, Multicenter and Open Enrollment Model, Postmarketing, Milk-Only Lactation Study to Assess Concentration of Vedolizumab in Breast Milk of Lactating Women With Active Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease Who Are Receiving Vedolizumab Therapeutically

The purpose of this study is to assess the concentration of vedolizumab in breast milk of
lactating women with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who are receiving
vedolizumab therapeutically.

The drug being tested in this study is called vedolizumab. This post-marketing milk-only
lactation study will assess concentrations of vedolizumab in breast milk of lactating women
with active UC or CD who are receiving vedolizumab therapeutically.

The study will enroll approximately 12 participants. All participants who received an
established vedolizumab maintenance regimen or has completed induction therapy for the
treatment of active UC or CD.

30-minute IV infusion of 300 mg vedolizumab. This multi-center trial will be conducted in the
United States. The overall time to participate in this study is 3 months. Participants will
make visits to clinic, study site or HCP office at Screening, Check-in (Day -1). Visits on
Days 4, 8, 15, or 29 may be completed at the participant's home setting in the presence of a
qualified nurse, or at a clinic, study site or other HCP office. The study exit/follow-up
safety assessment will occur on Day 57(±3).

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Is capable of understanding and complying with protocol requirements.

2. Signs and dates as written, informed consent form and any required privacy
authorization prior to the initiation of any study procedures.

3. Is female and at least 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.

4. A female participant of childbearing potential who is sexually active with a
nonsterilized male partner agrees to use routinely adequate contraception from signing
of informed consent and throughout the duration of the study.

5. Is on established vedolizumab maintenance therapy and received at least 1 dose of 300
mg of vedolizumab IV postpartum or has completed vedolizumab induction therapy (300 mg
of vedolizumab IV at Week 0, Week 2, and Week 6), which has been commenced by the
participant's treating physician for the treatment of active UC or CD prior to
enrolling in this study.

6. Has delivered a single, normal term infant (at least 37 weeks' gestation) that is, a
mother-infant pair is required.

7. Is at least 5 weeks postpartum by Day 1.

8. Lactation is well established and the mother is exclusively breast feeding her infant
(or not providing more than 1 supplemental bottle of formula/day) when enrolled in the
study.

9. Participant has independently decided to be treated with vedolizumab or to breastfeed
prior to providing consent to participate in this study.

10. Plans to continue breastfeeding at least throughout the duration of this study.

11. Agrees to use only the emollient or nipple cream recommended by the investigator for
use during the sampling period.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has received any investigational compound or approved biologic or biosimilar agent,
except for vedolizumab within 60 days prior to enrollment in the study.

2. Within 30 days prior to enrollment, the participant has received any of the following
for the treatment of underlying disease:

- Nonbiologic therapies [example (eg), cyclosporine], other than those listed in
the protocol.

- An approved nonbiologic therapy in an investigational protocol.

3. Has received any live vaccinations within 30 days prior to vedolizumab administration.

4. Has clinically significant infection (eg, pneumonia, pyelonephritis) or chronic
infection within 30 days prior to enrollment.

5. Is an immediate family member, study site employee, or is in a dependent relationship
with a study site employee who is involved in the conduct of this study (eg, spouse,
parent, child, sibling) or may consent under duress.

6. Has evidence of unstable or uncontrolled, clinically significant cardiovascular,
central nervous system, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary,
hematological, coagulation, immunological, endocrine/metabolic or other medical
disorder, including serious allergy, asthma, hypoxemia, hypertension, seizures or
allergic skin rash that, in the opinion of the investigator, would confound the study
results or compromise participant safety. Additionally, if there is any finding in the
participant's medical history, physical examination, or safety laboratory tests giving
reasonable suspicion of a disease that would contraindicate taking vedolizumab, or a
similar drug that might interfere with the conduct of the study.

7. Had any surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia within 30 days prior to
enrollment or is planning to undergo major surgery during the study period.

8. Has any history of malignancy, except for the following: (a) adequately treated
nonmetastatic basal cell skin cancer; (b) squamous cell skin cancer that has been
adequately treated and that has not recurred for at least 1 year prior to enrollment;
and (c) history of cervical carcinoma in situ that has been adequately treated and
that has not recurred for at least 3 years prior to enrollment. Participants with
remote history of malignancy (eg, greater than (>) 10 years since completion of
curative therapy without recurrence) will be considered based on the nature of the
malignancy and the therapy received and must be discussed with the sponsor on a
case-by-case basis prior to enrollment.
