§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.

Nothing published by the Institute is medical advice, a diagnosis, a prescription, a treatment recommendation or a purchasing recommendation. Compounds supplied for research use are not approved for human or veterinary use in any jurisdiction, and a favourable analytical assessment of a supplier is not a statement that any product is safe or effective. The Institute publishes certainty ratings and never recommendations. No telephone number, messaging handle or ordering channel appears anywhere on this site.
