Teduglutide

Snapshot captured 2026-09-27 — Evidence added or removed

Overview

Teduglutide is a GLP-2 analog studied in short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure. The clinical question concerns outcomes such as parenteral support and patient experience in defined populations.

Evidence quality

WPF’s atlas includes pediatric case reports, observational cohorts of adults, and monitoring guidance for people receiving teduglutide. These sources can inform questions about long-term care, but a case report or observational association cannot alone establish the size of a causal treatment effect.

Safety concerns

Adults and children, differing underlying anatomy, parenteral-support outcomes, and safety monitoring must be assessed separately against primary and official sources.

  • European Union — EMA: approved — Revestive (teduglutide) is indicated for the treatment of patients 4 months corrected gestational age and above with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). Patients should be stable following a period of intestinal adaptation after surgery. (Per the current SmPC Section 4.1; supersedes the older '1 year and above' figure still shown in the EMA overview page's summary info box as of this research.)
  • United States — FDA: approved — GATTEX (teduglutide) is indicated for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) who are dependent on parenteral support.
