Filter by:This is a Phase I/II. proof of concept, open label, two-dose, dose escalation study of NM-002 in adult patients with SBS who previously responded to exenatide. NM-002 is planned to be administered twice, at up to 3 different dose levels, in up to 3 cohorts, each consisting of 3-4 patients. Doses will be administered on Days 1 and 15 by subcutaneous injection. Patients will be monitored for their usage of parenteral supplementation, and will fill out a daily diary for their symptoms of SBS. Urine output will be measured on a daily basis. Patients will be followed for 6 weeks after the second dose.
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is defined as a loss of function of the small intestine resulting in a malabsorptive disorder. In SBS, oral drug absorption may be altered due to extensive intestinal resection. It remains unclear to what extent apixaban exposure is impacted in SBS.Therefore this study tries to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of apixaban in adult patients with SBS requiring long-term parenteral nutrition (PN).
Pediatric short bowel patients, age 6 months to 21 years old, followed in our intestinal rehabilitation clinic, will be screened for qualification in the study. If meets qualification, will be consented for the study. The study involves patients receiving green beans in their diet for three months with data collection including stooling patterns as well as labs, and then switching over to liquid pectin for three months. Again data collection will take place. The duration of the study once patient is consented is ~6 months.
Today, patients express a very strong need to take into account the consequences of their disease and its treatments in their therapeutic follow-up. It is therefore essential to better understand the needs, expectations and values of patients with SBS in order to better understand the impact of the disease on their lives, and thus improve the conditions for medical, social, psychological and technical care. The clinical expertise of health professionals and meetings with patient associations demonstrate the major gap between the parameters taken into account by physician to evaluate the evolution of the SBS and the day-to-day experience of the disease perceived by the patient. The objective of the ARTEMIS-GC study is to develop and validate an instrument to measure the impact of SBS and its treatments on daily life from the perspective of patients.
Clinical trial, active comparator, cross over, randomised. In total, 12 adults with an ileostomy will be randomised to a sequential 4 weeks intervention with different qualities and sources of protein wish 2-week washout periods. Primary outcome: Ileostomy output.
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.
A new Enteric-Coated Cholestyramine (ECC) capsule has been developed to manage diarrhea associated with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) in adults. The formulation is expected to release cholestyramine in the remaining segment of the small intestine in SBS patients, thus binding bile acids after fat digestion, but before induction of diarrhea in the colon. The delayed-release profile is also expected to help reduce the potential for drug-drug interactions occurring in the proximal small intestine. Two doses of ECC will be studied for efficacy, safety and tolerability in this Phase IIa trial.
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 evaluate the long-term safety of glepaglutide treatment in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Glepaglutide is the International Nonproprietary Name and USAN for ZP1848.
This study will randomize all patients who are new to the Mayo Clinic HPN team to either standard lipid emulsion (Intralipid) or SMOFLipid.
