What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of participants and physicians regarding the use of GATTEX for treating Short Bowel Syndrome. Participants who have taken GATTEX within the last 60 days will complete a survey, which can be conducted via internet, telephone, or paper, based on their preference. Healthcare providers who have prescribed GATTEX are also invited to participate in the survey. The study does not involve any medication interventions.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who have used GATTEX in the past 60 days.

Not a fit: Patients who have not used GATTEX or are under 18 years old may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of GATTEX usage, leading to improved patient care and safety.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on knowledge and attitudes, similar surveys in other therapeutic areas have shown success in improving treatment understanding and adherence.
