First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of a weekly injection called glepaglutide in adults with short bowel syndrome, a condition where the body cannot absorb nutrients properly. Participants who completed a previous trial will receive the drug for about 2 years. The goal is to see if the treatment remains safe and continues to help manage the condition.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activity * Completed the full treatment period of the extension trial EASE SBS 2 (ZP1848-17127) Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition, disease, or circumstance that in the Investigator's opinion would put the patient at any undue risk, prevent completion of the trial, or confound the planned assessments of the trial * Not having a colonoscopy performed at End of Trial in EASE SBS 2 (for patients with remnant colon). Note. The results of the colonoscopy must not give rise to any safety concerns. A colonoscopy performed within 6 months prior to End of Trial and not giving rise to any safety concerns is accepted. For patients with a remnant colon, which is not connected to the passage of foods and is thereby dormant, a computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will suffice at the discretion of the Investigator * Use of GLP-1, GLP-2, human growth hormone (HGH), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, somatostatin, or analogs thereof within 3 months. Note: Prior use of glepaglutide trial drug is allowed * Females of childbearing potential, who are pregnant, breast-feeding, intend to become pregnant, or are not using highly effective contraceptive methods
