Limitations
Drug half-life should be taken into consideration when interpreting concentrations measured in non-trough collections.
In the absence of anti-vedolizumab antibodies, the vedolizumab drug level reflects the total vedlizumab concentration. In the presence of anti-vedolizumab antibodies, the vedolizumab concentrations reflects the antibody-unbound of vedolizumab.
The presence of vedolizumab drug, even at concentrations well above the target treatment levels, does not interfere with anti-vedolizumab antibody measurement. All positive anti-vedolizumab antibody results are verifed by a confirmatory test.
