A Prospective Open-label Long-term Safety and Efficacy Study of Teduglutide in Pediatric Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome Who Completed TED-C14-006
Investigating the Safety and Effects of an Investigational Medication in Children with Short Bowel Syndrome
Brief description of study.
The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: How safe is teduglutide in children with SBS over a long-term period? Can teduglutide help children with SBS decrease the amount of PS they need, and to decrease the time they are connected to an IV pump, over a long-term period? How long do children with SBS need to take teduglutide?

- Conditions: short bowel syndrome
-
Age: 100 years or below
-
Gender: All
This study investigates the safety of an investigational medication in children with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) over a long-term period. Short Bowel Syndrome is a condition where nutrients are not absorbed properly due to a lack of sufficient small intestine. The study aims to see if this medication can help reduce the amount of parenteral support (PS) needed by these children, which is nutrition given through an IV.
Participants will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo, which is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medication but does not contain any medicine. The study will monitor how the medication affects the amount of time children need to be connected to an IV pump and how much PS they require.
- Who can participate: This study is looking for children diagnosed with Short Bowel Syndrome, aged 2 to 17 years. Participants must require parenteral support and be connected to an IV pump regularly.
- Study details: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the investigational medication or a placebo.
