The primary objective of the trial is the confirmation of the efficacy of apraglutide to evaluate the efficacy of weekly subcutaneous apraglutide in reducing parenteral support dependency.
This is an international, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly SC injections of apraglutide in adult subjects with SBS-IF. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is apraglutide, a GLP-2 analogue. The trial consists of a screening phase, a treatment phase of 48 weeks, and a safety follow-up phase. Trial participants will receive, after successful screening, once weekly apraglutide.
Apraglutide is a peptide analogue of GLP-2 under development for treatment of SBS-IF, which acts as a full agonist at the GLP-2 receptor with in vitro potency and selectivity comparable with native GLP-2.
