E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a clinical situation with reduced absorptive mucosal surface due to extensive surgical resection. SBS leads to increased intestinal losses of fluids and electrolytes; restricted oral/enteral nutrition to reduce intestinal losses; disease-related hypophagia; lack of adaptive hyperphagia; accelerated gastrointestinal transit time |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary aim of this project is to evaluate the effect of liraglutide treatment on several intestinal absorption factors in patients with a jejunostomy SBS. The primary endpoint is the quantity changes in the ostomy output after liraglutide treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- Intestinal absorption of wet weight, energy, macronutrients and electrolyte absorption - Urine production - Parenteral support volume - Body composition - Plasma-citrulline concentration - Postprandial concentration profile of: Liraglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1, glucagon-like peptide-2, peptide YY, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, glucagon, cholecystokinin, gastrin, insulin, fibroblast growth factor 19, 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, triacylglycerol, free fatty acid, glucose and c-peptide - Gastrointestinal transit time by Scintigraphy, SmartPill and Paracetamol absorption test - Optional intestinal mucosa biopsy (length, width, height of villus) - Quality of Life - Gallbladder emptying rate - Bile acid concentration in ostomy output - Transient elastography of liver - Multi-omics analysis of urine, blood and ostomy output - Gut microbiome of ostomy output - Hepatic function by indocyanine green - Stoma nipple examination |

* Please view the Danish Health and Medicine Authority guideline on which type of contraception is considered safe in clinical trials on www.sundhedsstyrelsen.dk. Intrauterine devices, hormonal contraceptives (contraceptive pills, implants, transdermal patches, hormonal vaginal devices, injections with prolonged release and vaginal rings) are considered as adequate contraceptives. Sterilized or infertile subjects are exempt from the requirement to use contraception. In order to be considered sterilized or infertile, subjects must generally have undergone surgical sterilization (vasectomy/bilateral tubectomy, hysterectomy and bilateral ovariectomy) or be postmenopausal defined as 12 months or more with no menses prior to enrolment |
