Trial summary

The inhibition of Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 should increase the concentration of glucagone-like peptide 1 and 2, and the increase of the latter should increase the absorptive capacity of the intestine. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Use of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor Influences the Absorption of Intestine in Short Bowel Syndrome

The inhibition of Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 should increase the concentration of glucagone-like peptide 1 and 2, and the increase of the latter should increase the absorptive capacity of the intestine.

Read the detailed description

The only effective (to some extend drug) in short bowel syndrome is Glucacone-like peptide 4. Its price is, however, to high to really change the treatment strategy for intestinal failure. The Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, which a drug which is commonly used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type II, should increase the concentration of glucagone-like peptide 1 and 2, and the increase of the latter should increase the absorptive capacity of the intestine.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Improvement of intestinal absorption

    the use of DPP-4 inhibitor results in the better intestinal absorption

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor in people with Short Bowel Syndrome, run by Stanley Dudrick's Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: too many side-effects). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improvement of intestinal absorption (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02653131, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2020.
