- •Male or female 16 years of age or older at the time of signing informed consent.
- •Intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome (SBS) as a result of major intestinal resection (example, due to injury, volvulus, vascular disease, cancer, Crohn's disease) that resulted in at least 12 continuous months of parenteral nutrition/intravenous (PN/IV) dependence at the time of informed consent.
