Filter by: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.
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.
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.
The main aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and side effects of teduglutide (Revestive®) in real-world clinical practice setting in adult participants with intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF) in Canada. This study is about collecting existing data only; participants receive teduglutide (Revestive®) by their doctors according to the clinical practice but not as part of this study. No new information will be collected during this study. The study will be conducted using data from the Takeda OnePath Patient Support Program (PSP) or Takeda Global Pharmacovigilance.
The purpose of this study is to assess the drug absorption of oral antibiotics in patients with short bowel syndrome.
The main aims of this study are to check for side effects from treatment with teduglutide (Revestive) and how well teduglutide controls symptoms of short bowel syndrome. The study sponsor will not be involved in how the participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study. During the study, participants with short bowel syndrome will receive an injection of teduglutide just under the skin (subcutaneous) according to their clinic's standard practice. The study doctors will check for side effects from teduglutide for 36 months.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept (PoC), Phase 2 study to assess the safety, PK, and PD of SC administration of HM15912 in adult subjects with SBS-associated intestinal failure (SBS-IF).
The aim of this prospective longitudinal study is to compare the quality of life of short bowel patients prior to and on teduglutide treatment with a non-treated patient group in a matched-pair design.
Short gut syndrome with intestinal failure patients may have decreased production of disaccharidases, like sucrase, an enzyme responsible for digesting sugar in foods. This can happen due to loss of bowel length from surgery or from loss of cellular function in the intestines due to use of parenteral nutrition intravenously. Therefore, patients with these conditions may not be able to digest sucrose (sugar) fully. Patients might experience abdominal distension/pain, vomiting and diarrhea when sugar is taken in orally or through the g-tube, which can limit patients' ability to increase oral or g-tube feeds in short gut syndrome patients with intestinal failure. In patients with short gut syndrome and intestinal failure, the administration of exogenous sucrase (enzyme) may improve sucrose (sugar) digestion and thus the ability to tolerate more oral or g-tube feeds.
