This Phase 3 placebo-controlled study is planned to further investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of apraglutide in the overall SBS-IF (short bowel syndrome associated with intestinal failure) population during 24 weeks of study treatment. It is expected that approximately 124 participants will be randomized worldwide to either apraglutide or placebo in a 1:1 ratio in this trial.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, Phase 3 study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of apraglutide compared with placebo in adults with SBS-IF. The study population will be representative of the SBS-IF general population and will include adult participants (≥18 years of age) who are dependent on, and who are receiving, PS at least 3 days per week. Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive SC apraglutide or placebo once weekly for 24 weeks stratified by anatomy (i.e., colon-in-continuity \[CIC\] or stoma) and bas…
Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be ≥18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent. * Male and female participants with SBS-IF, receiving PS secondary to surgical resection of the small intestine with residual length ≥10 cm to \<200 cm from duodeno-jejunal flexure, based on available clinical and/or medical/surgical records, and with either: (a.) CIC remaining and neither jejunostomy nor ileostomy with the latest intestinal resection resulting in SBS-IF being at least 12 months prior to Screening OR (b.) Jejunostomy or ileostomy with the latest intestinal resection result…
Apraglutide is a synthetic peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), which acts as a full agonist at the GLP-2 receptor with in vitro potency and selectivity comparable with native GLP-2. Participants will be administered or will self-administer a weekly SC injection of apraglutide.
Participants will be administered or will self-administer a weekly single SC injection of placebo in the matching injection volumes.
