A Phase 3 interventional study of Glepaglutide 10 mg in Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS), sponsored by Zealand Pharma. Active, not recruiting at 16 sites in 7 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-30.
Sponsored by Zealand Pharma · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and efficacy of twice weekly glepaglutide 10 mg in adult patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS), who were previously enrolled in the EASE SBS 2 or EASE SBS 3 trials. Participants currently on these trials will be able to continue their glepaglutide treatment by enrolling in this EASE SBS 6 extension trial. The trial includes a 24-month treatment period, followed by a 4-week safety follow-up period. Participants will attend trial visits, where they may undergo heart tests (electrocardiogram (ECG)), vital sign checks, colonoscopies, blood and urine tests, and physical exams.
This trial is a 104-week, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase 3 extension trial investigating the long-term safety and efficacy of glepaglutide in adult patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) rolling over from the EASE SBS 2 or 3 trials.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Started Dec 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2028, 33 months after the start.
Of 26 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Short Bowel Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 45. This study's planned 33 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 27 studies reached it within 37 months; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 46.
