Brief summary

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety of apraglutide in adult subjects with SBS-IF and CIC.

Detailed description

This is an international, multicenter trial to evaluate the safety of apraglutide in adult participants with SBS-IF and CIC. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is apraglutide, an investigational glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogue. The trial consists of an evaluation period of 52 weeks.

Interventions

Apraglutide is a synthetic 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.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Experienced a Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)Day 1 up to approximately 55 weeksA TEAE was any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with apraglutide, whether or not related, that occurred or worsened after the dose of apraglutide. A serious TEAE was defined as any TEAE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was an important medical event. Clinically significant changes from baseline in clinical chemistry, hematology, hemostasis, anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), and urine analysis were reported as adverse events. Adverse events of special interest (AESI) included injection site reaction, gastrointestinal obstruction, gallbladder, biliary, and pancreatic disease, fluid overload, colorectal polyps, malignancies.
Absolute Change in Absorption of Energy Over Metabolic Balance (MB) Periods From Baseline at Week 48Baseline and Week 48Applicable to Protocol V3.0 implemented in France (classed as secondary endpoint in Protocol V4.0 \[implemented in Belgium\]). The absorption was defined as dietary intake minus output from fecal excretion over a 72-hour MB period at a given analysis time point. Since dietary intake and fecal excretion were measured daily, i.e., up to three measurements may contribute to absorption calculations, the average over all available daily absorption measurements over the 72-hour period were used for analysis.

Number of Participants Considered Clinical Responders at Weeks 24 and 52

Clinical response was defined as a 20% reduction of PS volume from Baseline. The sum of daily PS volume (including extra fluids) from weekly PS diary data recorded for the corresponding analysis timepoint was used for analysis.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 24 and 52

Population: The full analysis set included all participants who received at least one dose of trial treatment and contributed at least one valid post-baseline efficacy point.

Number of Participants Who Achieved a Reduction of at Least 1 Day Per Week of PS From Baseline at Weeks 24 and 52

Participants were considered to have a reduction of at least one day per week of PS from Baseline (incl. extra fluids) if the number of days with PS from weekly PS diary data recorded for the corresponding analysis timepoint was smaller compared to the number of days with PS from weekly PS diary data for Baseline.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 24 and Week 52

Population: The full analysis set included all participants who received at least one dose of trial treatment and contributed at least one valid post-baseline efficacy point.

Number of Participants Who Achieved Enteral Autonomy at Weeks 24 and 52

Enteral autonomy was defined as a participant not receiving PS for hydration or parenteral nutrition (PN) for calories. Participants may have still receive minimal fluid to maintain patency of the central line or for specific elemental/micro-nutrient needs (e.g., \<100 mL fluid for administration of magnesium).

Time frame: Weeks 24 and 52

Population: The full analysis set included all participants who received at least one dose of trial treatment and contributed at least one valid post-baseline efficacy point.

Relative Change From Baseline in Actual Weekly Parenteral Support (PS) Volume at Weeks 4, 24, and 52

The sum of daily PS volume (including extra fluids) from weekly PS diary data recorded for the corresponding analysis timepoint was used for analysis.

Relative Change in Absorption of Energy Over MB Periods From Baseline at Week 48

The absorption was defined as dietary intake minus output from fecal excretion over a 72-hour MB period at a given analysis time point. Since dietary intake and fecal excretion were measured daily, i.e., up to three measurements may contribute to absorption calculations, the average over all available daily absorption measurements over the 72-hour period were used for analysis.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 48

Population: The full analysis set included all participants who received at least one dose of trial treatment and contributed at least one valid post-baseline efficacy point.

Secondary: Patient Global Impression of Treatment Satisfaction (PGI-TS) at Week 24 and Week 52

This form is a single-item questionnaire assessing the participant's satisfaction with the trial medication over the preceding 7 days. Response options range from -2 to 2, very dissatisfied to very satisfied.

Time frame: Week 24 and Week 52

Population: The full analysis set included all participants who received at least one dose of trial treatment and contributed at least one valid post-baseline efficacy point. Participants with an assessment at given time point.
