NCT ID NCT07228403
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of a drug called glepaglutide in adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS), a condition where the body can't absorb enough nutrients from food. Participants who were already in earlier trials can continue treatment for up to 2 years. The goal is to see if the drug helps reduce the need for intravenous nutrition support and is safe over time.
