What this trial studies

This Phase 2 clinical trial evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of HM15912 (sonefpeglutide) administered subcutaneously in adults with Short Bowel Syndrome associated with intestinal failure. The study includes a screening period, a run-in period, a core treatment phase lasting six months, followed by a seven-month extension treatment period, and concludes with a one-month safety follow-up. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the active treatment or a placebo in a double-blind manner.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of Short Bowel Syndrome resulting in intestinal failure, stable for at least six months post-surgery.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of colon cancer or other cancers (except certain skin cancers) may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve the management of Short Bowel Syndrome and enhance the quality of life for affected patients.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored treatments for Short Bowel Syndrome, but this specific approach with HM15912 is novel.
