About this study

Official title: A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Teduglutide in Subjects With Parenteral Nutrition-Dependent Short Bowel Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of teduglutide compared with placebo in subjects with parenteral nutrition (PN)-dependent short bowel syndrome (SBS).

Read the detailed description

Teduglutide is an analog of glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2), a naturally occurring hormone that regulates the growth, proliferation, and maintenance of cells lining the gastrointestinal tract. Teduglutide has been shown in animal studies and previous human clinical trials to increase the size and number of these cells, thereby increasing the absorptive surface area of the intestines.

The multicenter, double-blind, international Phase III trial will randomly assign approximately 80 patients to receive daily subcutaneous injections of 0.05 milligrams or 0.10 milligrams of teduglutide per kilogram of body weight, or a placebo. Dosing will continue for a period of six months. The primary endpoint in the study is a reduction in the use of intravenous feeding, which is often required to sustain life in patients with SBS.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. A Graded Response Score in Parenteral Nutrition (PN) Reduction

    The intensity of the response relied on a reduction from Baseline in weekly parenteral nutrition (PN) volume (minimum reduction of 20% and a maximum of 100%). Duration of the response incorporated responses at Weeks(Wk) 16-20 and at Wk20-24. Zero (0 - lowest) assigned if <20% reduction at Wk20-24 and reduction at Wk16-20 of < 20%, 20-39%, or >=40%. One (1) assigned if reduction of 20-39% at Wk20-24 but < 20% at Wk16-20. Two(2) assigned if reductions of 40-99% at Wk20-24 AND <20% at Wk16-20 OR 20-39% at Wk20-24 AND 20-39% at Wk16-20. Three (3) assigned if reductions of 100% at Wk20-24 AND <20% at Wk16-20 OR 40-99% at Wk20-24 AND 20-39% at Wk16-20 OR 20-39% at Wk20-24 AND >=40% at Wk16-20. Four (4) assigned if reductions of 100% at Wk20-24 AND 20-39% at Wk16-20 OR 40-99% at Wk20-24 AND >=40% at Wk16-20.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Subjects Achieving Binary Response at Week 20, Maintained at Week 24

    An efficacy responder was defined as achieving at least a 20% reduction from Baseline to Week 20 and maintained at Week 24 in weekly actual PN infusion volume.

    Measured: 6 months of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Teduglutide 0.05 mg/kg/d and Teduglutide 0.1 mg/kg/d in people with Short Bowel Syndrome, run by Shire at 32 sites in 9 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in United States, Canada, France, Germany, Poland and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A Graded Response Score in Parenteral Nutrition (PN) Reduction (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00081458, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jun 2021.
