Pediatric Clinical Study Data
Pivotal Study of GATTEX in Pediatric Patients1,2
GATTEX was evaluated in a 6-month, multicenter, phase 3 clinical study of pediatric patients aged 1 through 17 years who were dependent on PS (n=59)1,2
Primary endpoint: reduction in PS volume of ≥20% from baseline to the end of treatment2
- Additional endpoints: reduction in PS volume from baseline and infusion hours/day, mean change in baseline PS infusion days/week at Week 24, and enteral autonomy2*
*Enteral autonomy: the ability to receive all nutrients, fluids, and calories through the GI tract without relying on PS.3
Study Design2
Screening
Period
GATTEX (n=50) or
standard of care (SOC) (n=9)
Randomized into
0.025 mg/kg/day (n=24)
and 0.05 mg/kg/day (n=26)
Enrolled and Completed
Study: 6 Months
GATTEX + standard of care (SOC)
0.025 mg/kg/day (n=24)
GATTEX + standard of care (SOC)
0.05 mg/kg/day (n=26)
Standard of care (SOC) only
n=9
Follow-Up Period:
4 Weeks
PS requirements at baseline in the 6-month study1,3:
- Stable PS support (defined as the inability to significantly reduce PS support [ie, 10% or less change in PS or advance in feeds]) for ≥3 months prior to and during screening as assessed by the investigator3
- PS and specialized enteral nutrition were recorded in intake diaries by the child’s parent or guardian1,2
- Patients had SBS resulting from intestinal resection and were dependent on PS that provided >30% of caloric and/or fluid/electrolyte needs3
GATTEX Was Studied in a Range of Pediatric Patients1,2
