The Use of DPP-4 Inhibitors in Short Bowel Syndrome (DPP-4)

April 13, 2020 updated by: Stanislaw Klek, Stanley Dudrick's Memorial Hospital

The Use of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor Influences the Absorption of Intestine in Short Bowel Syndrome

The inhibition of Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 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.

Study Overview

Status

Terminated

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.
