GATTEX Patient Stories
Learn about how some people were able to achieve less time on parenteral support (PS) with GATTEX (teduglutide).
Kat’s story is about reducing PS volume
With the help of GATTEX, my doctor was able to cut my weekly PS. I’m now infusing fewer liters of PS a week.
-Kat, Gattex patient
Volume
GATTEX reduced the weekly volume of PS.
Jodi's story is about achieving time off PS
Less days of PS means a kid who gets up to stay up late with his friends and just enjoy being a kid.
-Jodi, caring for a Gattex patient
Time
People treated with GATTEX achieved more time off of PS.
Betsy’s story is about achieving freedom from PS
Over time with GATTEX, my doctors started slowly reducing my PS. A year later, my PS had been stopped altogether.
-Betsy, Gattex patient
Freedom
Over time, some people achieved complete freedom from PS with GATTEX.
In a 6-month study, 27 out of 43 adults treated with GATTEX reduced weekly PS volume by 20% or more vs 13 out of 43 on placebo, and 21 out of 39 achieved at least 1 day off PS per week vs 9 out of 39 on placebo. After 30 months of treatment, 10 out of 30 adults no longer needed PS. In a 6-month study, 18 out of 26 children treated with GATTEX reduced weekly PS volume by 20% or more, 10 out of 26 achieved a reduction of at least 1 day off PS per week, and 3 out of 26 no longer needed PS.

Through SBS Connect, talk one on one with a Patient Ambassador as they share their experiences of living with SBS and journey from diagnosis to treatment.
