    Long-term Study of Teduglutide in Pediatric Subjects With Short Bowel Syndrome Who Completed the TED-C13-003 Study

    NCT02949362

    9 Dec 2016 to 14 Jul 2020

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of teduglutide treatment of children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who completed the TED-C13-003 study over a long-term period. It will evaluate how these children fared after the TED-C13-003 study ended. This study will also offer teduglutide treatment to eligible subjects, regardless of treatment received in TED-C13-003.

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A SAE was any untoward medical occurrence (whether considered to be related to investigational product or not) that at any dose: results in death, was life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital abnormality/birth defect, was an important medical event.
