    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND & AIM: The short-term effects of teduglutide (TED) for short bowel syndrome with chronic intestinal failure (SBS-IF) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) remain unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of TED in patients with CD on home parenteral support (PS) for SBS-IF. METHODS: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with CD associated with SBS-IF who initiated TED between 2020 and 2021. The primary outcomes were the change in PS volume and proportion of patients with a reduction of PS volume by ≥ 20% at week 8. Secondary outcomes were the change in PS volume in patients with CD without/with colon in continuity and adverse events during the observation period. RESULTS: Eighteen patients with CD who underwent home PS for SBS-IF were included in this study. Two patients were excluded owing to intolerable abdominal pain or vomiting within 8 weeks (11%). Sixteen patients continued TED throughout the observation period. The median PS duration was 10.5 years. The median observation period was 22 weeks after starting TED. TED significantly reduced the PS volume from 15,825.0 mL/week to 10,700.0 mL/week (p = 0.0038), and the PS volume decreased by ≥ 20% in 7 patients (43.8%) at week 8. The PS volume was significantly reduced at week 4 (p = 0.0078) in 11 patients without colon in continuity but not in 5 patients with colon in continuity. Two patients successfully stopped home PS. No serious adverse events occurred. CONCLUSIONS: TED administration significantly reduced PS volume at week 8 in patients with CD associated with SBS-IF, and at week 4 in patients without colon in continuity.
