Brief Summary:
Teduglutide is an investigative medicine being evaluated as a possible treatment for people with parenteral nutrition (PN) dependent Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). Teduglutide is similar to a protein the body makes. When people have SBS, their bodies do not make enough of the protein and they have trouble getting nutrients and fluids from the food they eat and drink. This study was designed to provide evidence of efficacy, safety, and tolerability of teduglutide 0.05 mg/kg daily in SBS subjects.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Responder [ Time Frame: Weeks 20 and 24 ]
    Comparison of subjects treated with teduglutide to placebo who achieve a 20 to 100% reduction from baseline in weekly parenteral nutrition/intravenous fluid (PN/I.V.) volume at weeks 20 and 24.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Absolute Change in PN/I.V. Volume From Baseline to Last Time Point [ Time Frame: Week 0 to last visit when data was collected. ]
    Absolute change in the volume of PN/I.V. from baseline (Week 0) to the visit when the last data point was collected (week 4 through week 24, or earlier if the subject discontinued early).
