AE, adverse event; RCT, randomized controlled trial; TEAE, treatment-emergent AE.

Most common TEAEs (by AE preferred term) occurring in at least 5.0% of patients overall in the RCT/extension teduglutide group.

Percentages calculated based on number of patients with a stoma (n = 11 for ⩽12 weeks; n = 2 for >12–24 weeks; n = 13 for >24–48 weeks; n = 18 for >48–96 weeks; n = 24 for >96 weeks).
