Study summary

The primary objective of the trial is to assess long-term safety and tolerability of apraglutide in subjects with SBS-IF.

Read the detailed description

This is an international, multicenter, open label extension trial to collect further safety, tolerability, efficacy, durability, and clinical outcomes of apraglutide once weekly adminstration, for up to 208 weeks or until apraglutide is commercially available in the country, whichever comes first. Eligible subjects would be those who were trial subjects of TA799-007 or TA799-013 trials.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Apraglutide subcutaneous (SC) injections, once weekly

    Peptide analogue of Glucagon-like Peptide 2 (GLP-2)

    Drug: Apraglutide
