Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Eligible patients were randomized into two groups: the GLP-1 group and the control group. The control group received a placebo along with standard care, without any additional GLP-1-based intervention. The GLP-1 group, in addition to standard care, received a subcutaneous injection of a GLP-1 analog (semaglutide injection) strictly according to the drug manufacturer's instructions. The initial dose of semaglutide was 0.25 mg once weekly. Treatment was continued over a 28-days period. Primary and secondary outcomes will be collected.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eligible patients with short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the GLP-1 group or the control group. The control group received a placebo along with standard care. The GLP-1 group, in addition to standard care, was administered a GLP-1 analog (semaglutide injection) via subcutaneous injection strictly according to the manufacturer's instructions, with an initial dose of semaglutide of 0.25 mg once weekly. Primary and secondary outcomes will be collected.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental arm

Participants received semaglutide as a subcutaneous injection (dosage form) at a dose of 0.25 mg (dosage) once weekly (frequency) for 28 days (duration).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

Intervention Type DRUG

GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide) are medications that mimic the action of the native human hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The recommended dosage is 0.25 mg administered subcutaneously once weekly.

Control arm

received appearance-matched placebo plus standard care, no additional semaglutide intervention therapy

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

* No history of allergic diseases, non-allergic constitution, and no hypersensitivity to any component of semaglutide injection;
* No history of drug abuse;
* Not pregnant or lactating; no pregnancy plans within one month after the trial (applies to both female and male participants);
* No participation in any other drug trials (including the investigational product in this study) within three months prior to enrollment.

* Poor general condition, inability to accurately describe symptoms, presence of severe infection, respiratory insufficiency, or other conditions that may hinder active cooperation;
* History of allergic diseases, allergic constitution, or hypersensitivity to drugs structurally related to the investigational product;

* Immunodeficiency, or current use of immunosuppressants or corticosteroids;
* Immediate family members of the sponsor, investigator, or study staff directly involved in the trial;
* Any other condition considered by the investigator as grounds for exclusion.
