Study Details
Study Description

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
The only effective (to some extend drug) in short bowel syndrome is Glucacone-like peptide 4. Its price is, however, to high to really change the treatment strategy for intestinal failure. The Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, which a drug which is commonly used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type II, should increase the concentration of glucagone-like peptide 1 and 2, and the increase of the latter should increase the absorptive capacity of the intestine.
