Filter by:The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crofelemer treatment in adults affected by Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) with an ileostomy on parenteral support (PS) in reducing output or PS needs. Crofelemer will be provided as a powder three times daily for 12 weeks and a 4 week follow up. .
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare but challenging condition in which patients have insufficient bowel length to meet fluid, electrolyte, and nutrient requirements without parenteral support. The purpose of this study is to determine how well dietary fiber is tolerated in patients with short bowel syndrome compared to patients without short bowel syndrome based on assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms, and corresponding changes in microbiome composition and metabolomics.
This study will utilize approved devices in an off-label manner to create forces required to induce intestinal lengthening. Radial and longitudinal forces are both required, and two devices will be used to create forces in order to test tolerability of said forces. This is to provide evidence that humans could tolerate the forces produced by a proposed commercially built device. This study will test the hypothesis that radial and longitudinal forces necessary to produce enterogenesis will cause low levels of discomfort in healthy adults. Approved devices will be utilized in an off-label manner to reproduce forces similar to our novel medical device which is designed to treat short bowel syndrome (SBS). This trial will not be testing a treatment for SBS, and individuals with SBS are ineligible for recruitment.
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare condition resulting from the loss of portions of the small intestine, and can cause a spectrum of metabolic and physiologic disturbances.The objective of this study was to determine the longterm survival and parenteral nutrition dependence of adult patients with SBS.
Guidelines on the acute and long-term pharmacological treatment of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) recommend the use of thrombolytic, antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy depending on the aetiology of AMI and the use of stenting but only few details are given on the choice of the drug, dose and duration of treatment. Besides, recommendations are mainly based on data on coronary, cerebral and other peripheral artery diseases and do also not take into account the altered drug absorption in patients with short bowel syndrome, in which AMI can result.This case-based survey will inform us on the current international clinical practice of long-term antithrombotic management of AMI.
Children with inadequate intestinal absorption due to loss of large amounts of small bowel require intravenous nutrition (feeding through the vein) to sustain hydration and nutrition to avoid starvation and dehydration; however, intravenous (IV) nutrition can lead to complications including liver failure. Tube feeding directly to the small intestine avoids the complications of IV nutrition, but fats are not fully digestible due to inadequate bowel function. We propose to predigest the fat using a small cartridge attached to the feeding tube to allow for rapid absorption with the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for intravenous nutrition. Goal of the observational study is to determine safety and tolerability of Relizorb Enzyme Cartridge for an additional 90 days after the original trial
The main aim of this study is to document the level of knowledge and assess attitudes and behaviors of both participants and physicians regarding the risks and safe use of GATTEX. The survey will be done via internet, telephone, or paper and patients will be able to choose the method that is preferred. No study medicines will be provided to patients in this study.
The Feasibility Study to Evaluate Safety and Probable Benefit of the Eclipse XL1 System in Adult Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome shall enroll up to 5 Subjects at up to 2 study sites in the United States.
Sarcopenia or the loss of skeletal muscle is highly prevalent in many diseases, including short bowel syndrome (SBS). While adaptation is more likely in SBS patients with a colon-in-continuity, the consequences and underlying mechanisms are unclear. An overabundance of fecal Lactobacillus was found but not yet linked to adaptation or sarcopenia. The objectives are to study the evolution of sarcopenia and the link with intestinal adaptation in SBS.
