Safety and Efficacy of Crofelemer in Adult Patients With Short Bowel Syndrome and Intestinal Failure (SBS-IF) Without Colon-in-continuity (CIC)

A 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of crofelemer in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome and Intestinal Failure (SBS-IF) without colon-in-continuity (CIC) requiring parenteral support (PS). Blinded study drug will be administered orally (or enterally) three times daily (TID) as a novel crofelemer formulation, Crofelemer Powder for Oral Solution, or a matching placebo powder formulation for oral solution. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to crofelemer 3 mg/kg/dose TID, crofelemer 10 mg/kg/dose TID or placebo and randomization will be stratified by baseline PS volume (≤4 or \>4 L/week).
