E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of three different doses of ZP1848 on intestinal
absorption in SBS patients after three week treatment periods. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Objectives
• To evaluate the efficacy of three different doses of ZP1848 on other functional
parameters than those covered in the primary objective after three week treatment
periods.
• To describe safety and tolerability of three different doses of ZP1848 during and after
three week treatment periods.
• To describe the pharmacokinetics of three different doses of ZP1848 during and after
three week treatment periods.
• To describe the pharmacodynamics of three different doses of ZP1848 during and after
three week treatment periods.
• To describe the immunogenicity of ZP1848. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Following receipt of verbal and written information about the trial, the patient must
provide signed informed consent before any trial related activity is carried out.
2. Age 18 years and 90 years
3. Stable SBS patients with intestinal insufficiency or failure, where the last surgical
resection of gut tissue was performed at least 1 year ago
4. A stable PS volume ( < 25% change in volume or energy content) for four weeks prior to
randomization for patients requiring PS
5. Wet weight of fecal excretion 1500 g/day demonstrated during a hospital stay prior to
screening or during at least one day of the first baseline balance study.
6. Stable body weight (<5% weight deviance in the three months prior to screening) |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
8. Patients with known or suspected intestinal strictures of clinical relevance as judged by
the Investigator
11. Active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or fistula during the screening period as judged
by conventional means of the Investigator.
12. Crohn’s disease patients not being in clinical remission for the last 12 weeks prior to
randomization
13. Cardiac disease defined as: Decompensated heart failure (NYHA class III-IV) and/or
diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris and/or myocardial infarction within the last 6 months prior to screening
15. History of cancer (except resected cutaneous basal or squamous cell carcinoma and
except in situ cervical cancer) unless it can be documented that the patient has been in a
disease-free state for at least 5 years (except colon cancer: patients with a history of colon
cancer generally have to be excluded)
20. eGFR (by the MDRD formula) <30 mL/min/1.73 m2
21. Clinically meaningful renal disease as judged by the Investigator

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the absolute change from baseline to the end of three week treatment periods of wet weight of ostomy output or diarrhea measured separately over each of the two treatment periods, where:
•The baseline values are measured as the average of the 72h baseline balance studies before each treatment period, and
•The end of three week treatment period values are measured as the average of the 72h treatment balance studies at the end of each treatment period
Each patient is therefore planned to deliver two values for the primary endpoint; one value for each of the two planned treatment periods.
