STEPS — Teduglutide in mucosal barrier: randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled
§1Structured abstract
§1.1Objective
To evaluate Teduglutide in inflammatory bowel disease and mucosal barrier disorders, against the comparator specified in §2, with the primary endpoint stated below.
§1.2Design
- Design
- Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group
- Masking
- Double-blind (participant, investigator and sponsor)
- Phase
- Phase 3
- Randomised participants
- 86
- Duration of the primary analysis period
- 24 weeks
- Sponsor class
- Manufacturer-sponsored
- Registry identifier
- not reproduced — see the note in §1.5
§1.3Primary endpoint
Proportion achieving a 20 % to 100 % reduction in weekly parenteral support volume at weeks 20 and 24 in short-bowel syndrome with intestinal failure
§1.4Principal result
Response in 63 % versus 30 % with placebo.
The pivotal trial for the approved indication. The Institute records it in full because it is the only randomised evidence for any glucagon-like peptide-2 analogue, and because the uses under which analogues of this compound are supplied for research bear no relation to it.
§1.5Provenance of this abstract
Table 1. Field-by-field provenance. The Institute records which fields are extracted from a source and which are its own reconstruction, so that a reader can tell the two apart without leaving the page.
| Field | Provenance | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Design, phase, duration, primary endpoint | Extracted | Reproduced from the published report or the registry record. |
| Randomised participants | Extracted | Reproduced as published. |
| Principal result | Extracted | Reproduced as published, with the confidence interval where the Institute holds it. |
| Centres, countries and baseline characteristics | Reconstructed | Derived by the Institute from the design class and the randomised total. Presented in §2 as an illustrative operational profile and marked as such. These figures are not published characteristics of this trial. |
| Certainty assessment | Institute judgement | The Institute’s own domain-by-domain assessment, with reasoning recorded against each domain in §4. |
| Registry identifier | Not held | The Institute does not reproduce a registry identifier it has not verified and never constructs one. Documents are referenced by the Institute’s own identifier. |
