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.
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.
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.
Children with intestinal failure have a lack of tolerance for food in the intestine. The children are dependent on intravenous nutrition over a long period of time period to ensure growth and development. The condition is characterized by bacterial overgrowth in the intestine, with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and flatulence as physical symptoms. Mental health is affected in the form of lower quality of life, lack of school participation and less social contact with peers. The investigators own (unpublished) data show that children with intestinal failure have a lower quality of life than healthy people. Standard treatment is antibiotics, but the effect of these is short-lived, and many must have repeated courses. Prebiotics are indigestible carbohydrates (fiber) in foods that positively affect the bacterial flora and promote intestinal health. In this project the investigators want to see if supply of prebiotics can change the bacterial balance, reduce symptoms of bacterial overgrowth and increase quality of life. The study is unique, as Prebiotics have not previously been used in the treatment of intestinal failure. If successful, it can pave the way for a new and better treatment method that can potentially be transferred to other conditions with imbalance in the intestinal flora. The study is a randomized intervention study and is consist of two phases. In phase 1, the effect of 4 weeks of open intervention with prebiotics is studied to establish so-called "proof of concept". Data from phase 1 are used to look at connections between the composition of intestinal flora, nutritional status and bowel function. The intervention involves the use of a prebiotic product (Stimulance, Nutricia), which is added to childs regular food. In phase 2, patients are randomized into two groups. One group will continue with the product for 6 months, while the other group does not receive prebiotics.
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).
