Hyperoxaluria due to fat malabsorption is seen in patients suffering from short bowel and can lead to stones and nephrocalcinosis. Not all patients are prone to these renal complications. only urinary oxaluria is measured in practice. Plasma oxalate shouldn't increase theoretically in these patients. However recent report showed an increase of plasma oxalate in patient with enteric hyperoxaluria. The aim of this study is to assess the plasma oxalate distribution in this specific population to have a new tool to predict renal complication of these patients.
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) occurs when there is insufficient intestinal mass to support normal growth and development. Approximately 30 out of every 100,000 babies are affected by SBS in North America, and these infants remain dependent on intravenous, parenteral nutrition (PN) for prolonged periods of time. Children with SBS frequently fail to achieve sufficient linear growth and weight gain despite receiving calories in excess of that required by age-matched healthy children. Poor intestinal absorption, motility and increased inflammation all contribute to poor growth in these patients. In addition, children with SBS are known to have significant disturbances to their normal commensal gut bacteria. They may experience a depletion of specific groups of beneficial gut bacteria, and their metabolic by-products, specifically short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which can lead to intestinal inflammation, malabsorption, and a less efficient use of consumed calories. In the proposed study, I hypothesize that children with SBS who are given supplements of targeted probiotics will have an increase in beneficial anti-inflammatory bacteria in their gut that more closely resembles the microbiota profile of healthy children. In addition, the children receiving probiotic supplementation will have increased concentrations of fecal SCFAs and improved growth compared to children with SBS who are not receiving supplementation. The central hypothesis will be tested by 1) prospectively characterizing the intestinal bacterial populations (by using next-gen sequencing methods), and measuring SCFA concentrations in the stool of children with SBS receiving probiotic treatment compared to those receiving no supplementation and 2) determining differences in the growth trajectory of the children in both groups by measuring sequential anthropometrics. Enrolled patients will be randomized to either continue with standard of care, or to receive a daily probiotic for 3 months. A total of 3 stool samples will be collected from each patient (at the beginning, midpoint and end of the study) and fecal 16S rDNA microbial sequencing and SCFA concentrations will be compared between groups, as will the groups growth trajectory. The long-term objective of the study is to determine how to effectively change the gut microbiota in children with SBS to restore a healthy balance and maximize growth and development. Although children with SBS have known disturbances to their intestinal microbiota, it is unclear whether providing an oral probiotic is an effective approach to correct these disturbances.
The primary objective of the trial is to confirm the efficacy of glepaglutide in reducing parenteral support volume in patients with short bowel syndrome. Glepaglutide is the International Nonproprietary Name and USAN for ZP1848.
The objectives of this clinical study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of teduglutide in Japanese participants with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who are dependent on parenteral nutrition/intravenous (PN/IV) over a 24-week treatment period.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of teduglutide in Japanese participants with PN/IV (parenteral nutrition/intravenous)-dependent SBS (short bowel syndrome) who completed SHP633-306 or who were in the extension phase of the TED-C14-004 (NCT02340819) study.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy/pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of teduglutide treatment in infants with short bowel syndrome (SBS) dependent on parenteral (PN) support.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the treatment could maximize intestinal absorption, minimize the inconvenience of diarrhea, and avoid, reduce or eliminate the need for parenteral support (PS) to achieve normal growth, to avoid parenteral nutrition complications and to achieve the best possible quality of life for the patient
Part A:once weekly dosing for 4 weeks in patients with short bowel syndrome who require total parenteral nutrition; patients will complete period 1 and after a 6-10 week wash-out, they will enter period 2 (active treatment and placebo); Part B: treatment period 3, is an open label extension to part A and starts after a washout of 6-10 weeks after the last dose in treatment period 2. patients are dosed once weekly for 4 weeks.
This is a repeated dose, open label trial investigating safety, efficacy, PD and PK of FE 203799 in 8 patients with SBS. The patients will receive a subcutaneous (SC) dose of 5 mg FE 203799 once weekly for 4 consecutive weeks, and efficacy parameters and PK will be assessed after the fourth dose. Safety follow up assessments will be performed 4-6 weeks after the last dose.
