AbstractCrohn's disease (CD) is a chronic and debilitating inflammatory bowel disease that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Despite the availability of various treatment options, a significant number of patients do not achieve remission or experience adverse effects with conventional therapies. Vedolizumab, a novel therapeutic agent, has emerged as a promising approach in the management of CD. Despite improvements in treatment choices, there is still a demand for medicines that are efficient and well‐tolerated. Vedolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting α4β7 integrin, has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of CD. The review aims to provide a summary of vedolizumab, current treatment options, impact of vedolizumab on the patient's quality of life, mechanism of action, clinical effectiveness, safety and efficacy of vedolizumab, potential side effects or risks associated with vedolizumab therapy, and potential predictors. Furthermore, we investigate limitations and challenges associated with vedolizumab and possible future developments and medical implications. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the present data supporting vedolizumab as a possible treatment option for CD, highlighting its benefits and outlining prospective directions for future study and clinical practice improvement.
