View original scientific description
The study is about learning and documenting how well participants and physicians understand how to use GATTEX and about potential risks by using a survey (called Knowledge Assessment Survey). This survey, which is conducted every two years, is part of the Gattex Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). REMS is a safety program required by the US health authority (FDA) for certain medicines that have serious risks. REMS intends to help reduce these risks while still allowing treatment. The goal is to make sure these medicines are used in the safest way possible. The main aim of this survey is to find out how well participants and physicians understand the checkups and tests (so called monitoring) participants should have while taking GATTEX, and the possible risks or of using GATTEX to treat Short Bowel Syndrome. The knowledge assessment survey will be done via internet, telephone, or paper and both physicians and participants will be able to choose the method that is preferred. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study.

Primary outcome measures
Number of Participants and Prescribers Providing Correct Responses to Questions
Time frame: Up to 18 years
All questions for survey knowledge domain and about GATTEX will be asked through a questionnaire, Participant or HCPs would need to respond true or false to each question based upon understanding and knowledge. Respondents could be participants or HCPs.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
