This study has 3 stages, consisting of an optimization/stabilization period (Stage 1), a 24-week treatment period in which all patients will receive teduglutide (Stage 2), and a long-term extension (Stage 3).
During the long-term extension (Stage 3), patients will continue to receive teduglutide for up to an additional 24 months or until teduglutide is commercially available, whichever comes earlier.
