International audience. Background No clinical trial has previously assessed the best therapeutic strategy between switching to another anti-TNF or swapping to another class of biologic class after the failure of a first anti-TNF in ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of the EFFICACI trial was to compare the efficacy of vedolizumab with infliximab in patients who had failed a first sub-cutaneous anti-TNF (golimumab and/or adalimumab). Methods EFFICACI was a French double-blind multicenter randomized controlled trial (1:1) comparing intravenous vedolizumab 300 mg at weeks 0-2-6 to intravenous infliximab 5 mg/kg at weeks 0-2-6. Eligible patients had moderate-to-severe UC, defined by a total Mayo score ≥ 6, despite at least 12 weeks (W) of treatment with adalimumab or golimumab as first line of advanced therapy. The primary endpoint was steroid free clinical remission at W14. The number of patients (N=150) was estimated for a 20% difference in favor of vedolizumab with a type 1 risk of 5% and a power of 80%. Patients were subsequently followed in an open-label fashion until week 54. The analysis was performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Only results at W14 will be presented. (CPP: 2018-002673-21; ClinicalTrial: 35RC17_8841_EFFICACI) Results From January 2018 to December 2023, 151 patients were randomized among 19 centers: 78 in the vedolizumab arm and 73 in the infliximab arm. Characteristics and demographics at inclusion were similar between groups, with 102/151 (67.5%) patients failing adalimumab and 49/151 (32.5%) failing golimumab. Concomitant immunosuppressive treatment with thiopurine or methotrexate was associated with infliximab and vedolizumab for 37/72 (51.4%) patients and 43/78 (55.1%) patients, respectively. At W14, proportions of patients in clinical remission (primary endpoint) were 34.6% (27/78) with vedolizumab and 19.2% (14/73) with infliximab (p=0.033). The clinical response rates were 46/78 (59.0%) with vedolizumab and 36/72 (50.0%) with infliximab (p=0.27). Proportions of patients in clinical response at W2, W6 and W14 are shown in Figure 1. At W14, endoscopic improvement (Mayo endoscopic subscore 0 or 1) was observed in 36/77 (46.8%) patients in the vedolizumab arm and 21/72 (29.2%) in the infliximab arm (p=0.027). No factor at inclusion was predictive of remission at week 14, including pharmacokinetic data for the first-line anti-TNF. Adverse event rates were similar in both groups - 46 (63.9%) infliximab arm, 55/78 (70.51%) vedolizumab arm. Eight patients were hospitalized for a severe flare (5 in the infliximab arm and 3 in the vedolizumab arm). Conclusion After failure of a first subcutaneous anti-TNF, induction therapy with vedolizumab was superior to infliximab in achieving steroid free clinical remission at week 14 in patients with UC.
