Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Apraglutide in SBS-IF

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Short Bowel Syndrome
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04627025
Lead Sponsor
VectivBio AG
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.

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.
