A 4-Stage, Open-label, Multicenter Study Including Long-term Extension to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Teduglutide in Japanese Subjects With PN-dependent Short Bowel Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an investigational treatment (teduglutide) in Japanese patients with PN-dependent SBS. This study will also look at how teduglutide moves through the body (pharmacokinetics).
This study has 3 stages, consisting of an optimization/stabilization period (Stage 1), a 24-week treatment period in which all patients will receive teduglutide (Stage 2), and a long-term extension (Stage 3).
During the long-term extension (Stage 3), patients will continue to receive teduglutide for up to an additional 24 months or until teduglutide is commercially available, whichever comes earlier.
