Short Bowel SyndromePhase 3NCT06973304
A Study of Teduglutide in Chinese Adults With Short Bowel Syndrome
A Phase 3 study testing Teduglutide in people with Short Bowel Syndrome, run by Takeda at 4 sites in China.
Trial summary
The main aim of the study is to assess how well teduglutide works over 24 weeks in Chinese adult participants with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who need parenteral support and to see how much it can reduce the amount of parenteral support and understand how the body absorbs, processes, and gets rid of teduglutide.

About this study
Official title: An Open-label, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of 0.05 mg/kg/Day Subcutaneous Teduglutide Following Treatment of Short Bowel Syndrome for 24 Weeks in Chinese Adults Who Are Dependent on Parenteral Support
The main aim of the study is to assess how well teduglutide works over 24 weeks in Chinese adult participants with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who need parenteral support and to see how much it can reduce the amount of parenteral support and understand how the body absorbs, processes, and gets rid of teduglutide.
Participants will receive a daily injection of teduglutide under the skin for 24 weeks. Safety of teduglutide will be checked for 24 weeks after treatment.
Participants will be in the study for about 65 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Teduglutide in people with Short Bowel Syndrome, run by Takeda at 4 sites in China.
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 9 inclusion and 25 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in China. 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. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved At Least 20 Percent (%) Reduction From Baseline in Weekly Parenteral Support (PS) Volume at Week 20 and Maintained Through Week 24 (time frame: Up to Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Sep 2026.
