Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Vedolizumab
Other: Group 1: Corticosteroid-free IUS-based outcomes + clinical remission + biomarker remission - Group 1 will be treated over 48 weeks to achieve a target of corticosteroid-free IUS-based outcomes + clinical remission + biomarker remission. At Week 22 and 30, the IUS-based component of the target will be IUS response and at Week 38, the final treatment target will be TMH.
Other: Group 2: Corticosteroid-free clinical remission + biomarker remission. - Group 2 will be treated over 48 weeks to achieve a target of corticosteroid-free clinical remission + biomarker remission.
Treatment: Other: Vedolizumab
All participants will begin a vedolizumab induction regimen of 300 mg IV at Weeks 0, 2, 6, and 10 followed by vedolizumab 300 mg IV every 8 weeks starting at Week 14. Treatment may be modified at Weeks 22, 30, and/or 38 based on the results of the target assessment at each of these time points.

Corticosteroid-free is defined as not using corticosteroids at the time of the assessment. Endoscopic remission is defined by a total Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-CD) =4 and at least a 2-point reduction versus baseline with no subscore greater than 1 in any individual variable. The SES-CD scores 4 endoscopic items (ulcer size, proportion of ulcerated surface, proportion of the surface area affected by any disease lesion, and stenosis) from 0 to 3, with higher scores representing more severe endoscopic disease activity. Each variable is scored for the 5 intestinal segments (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) and summed to provide the total variable score. The sum of each variable score ranges from 0 to 15, except for stenosis (ranges from 0 to 11), because 3 represents a stenosis through which a colonoscope cannot be passed and therefore, can only be observed once. Total SES-CD score is then calculated by summing the item scores (range, 0-56 points).

Transmural healing is defined by Bowel wall thickness (BWT) =3.0 mm and color Doppler signal (CDS) 0 in all evaluable segments assessed by Intestinal Ultrasound.
Endoscopic remission is defined by achievement of a total Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-CD) =4 and at least a 2-point reduction versus baseline with no subscore greater than 1 in any individual variable. The SES-CD assesses 4 endoscopic variables: the size of ulcers, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and presence of narrowing. Each variable score ranging from 0 to 3. The total SES-CD score is calculated using the sum of all parameter scores in 5 segments: terminal ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum.
Clinical Remission is defined by achievement of Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) \<150.
CDAI consists of eight factors, each summed after adjustment with a weighting factor. Total score ranges from 0 to 600 points. Higher scores indicate more severity.

IUS response is defined by reduction from baseline of 25% in Bowel Wall thickness (BWT) assessed by Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS).
Endoscopic remission is defined by achievement of a total Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-CD) =4 and at least a 2-point reduction versus baseline with no subscore greater than 1 in any individual variable.
Clinical Remission is defined by achievement of Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) \<150.
The CDAI consists of 8 items including physical examination items, extraintestinal manifestations, the hematocrit, and PRO measures as recorded in the participant diary card for the 7 days prior to the clinic visit. Each item is multiplied by a weighting factor and summed to give a total CDAI score, ranging from 0 to over 600 points, with higher scores representing more severe disease activity.

Histologic remission is defined by Robarts Histopathology Index (RHI) score =3 (per segment) with subscores of 0 for lamina propria neutrophils and 0 for neutrophils in epithelium, as scored by central reader.
The RHI is a validated instrument that measures histologic disease activity and consists of 4 subscores (chronic inflammatory infiltrate, lamina propria neutrophils, neutrophils in epithelium, and erosion or ulceration). Each subscore ranges from 0-3, with higher subscores indicating greater histologic disease activity. The RHI score is calculated as: (1 x chronic inflammatory infiltrate) + (2 x lamina propria neutrophils) + (3 x neutrophils in epithelium) + (5 x erosion or ulceration). The RHI therefore ranges from 0-33, with higher scores indicating greater histologic disease activity.

The PRO-2 consists of the 2 CDAI component items: daily stool frequency and abdominal pain. Study participants record the number of liquid or very soft stools and rate abdominal pain (range, 0-3) daily in their participant diary for the 7 days prior to a clinic visit, excluding days of bowel preparation and ileocolonoscopy. The stool frequency and abdominal pain scores are calculated as the average scores over the 7-day period.

Summary
Brief summary
Transmural healing (TMH) is recognized as a potentially important measure of Crohn's disease (CD) activity but not a formal target. Observational studies suggest that TMH may be associated with better long-term outcomes. The study will evaluate TMH using noninvasive intestinal ultrasound (IUS), a patient-friendly technique that can be performed routinely in clinical practice. The aim of the study is to determine if treating to a target of corticosteroid-free (CS-free) IUS outcomes + clinical symptoms + biomarkers is superior to a target of clinical symptoms + biomarkers alone in achieving CS-free endoscopic remission measured by the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD). Qualified participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of 2 different target treatment groups. Group 1: Participants will be treated over 48 weeks to achieve a target of corticosteroid-free IUS-based outcomes + clinical remission + biomarker remission. At Week 22 and 30, the IUS-based component of the target will be IUS response and at Week 38, the final treatment target will be TMH. Group 2: Participants will be treated over 48 weeks to achieve a target of corticosteroid-free clinical remission + biomarker remission.
