Brief Summary:
The primary objective of the trial is the confirmation of the efficacy of apraglutide to evaluate the efficacy of weekly subcutaneous apraglutide in reducing parenteral support dependency.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Short Bowel Syndrome Drug: apraglutide Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This is an international, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly SC injections of apraglutide in adult subjects with SBS-IF. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is apraglutide, a GLP-2 analogue.

The trial consists of a screening phase, a treatment phase of 48 weeks, and a safety follow-up phase. Trial participants will receive, after successful screening, once weekly apraglutide.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Apraglutide SC injections, once weekly
Peptide analogue of GLP-2
 Drug: apraglutide
Apraglutide is a peptide analogue of GLP-2 under development for treatment of SBS-IF, which acts as a full agonist at the GLP-2 receptor with in vitro potency and selectivity comparable with native GLP-2.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo for apraglutide, SC injection once weekly
 Drug: apraglutide
Apraglutide is a peptide analogue of GLP-2 under development for treatment of SBS-IF, which acts as a full agonist at the GLP-2 receptor with in vitro potency and selectivity comparable with native GLP-2.

  2. Relative change from baseline in actual weekly PS volume at Weeks 12 / 24 / 48. [ Time Frame: Weeks 12 / 24 / 48 of treatment. ]
  3. SBS-IF patients reaching enteral autonomy at Weeks 24 / 48. [ Time Frame: Weeks 24 / 48 of treatment. ]
  4. At least 20% reduction of PS volume from baseline at Weeks 20 / 24. [ Time Frame: Weeks 20 / 24 of treatment. ]
  5. Calorie reduction in the PN at Weeks 24. [ Time Frame: Weeks 24 of treatment. ]
