GATTEX

The safety and effectiveness of GATTEX have been established in pediatric patients 1 year to less than 17 years of age who are dependent on parenteral support for the treatment of SBS. Use of GATTEX in this population is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults, with additional efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data in pediatric patients 1 year to less than 17 years of age [see Dosage and Administration (2), Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Clinical Studies (14.2)]. These data were derived from two studies of 24-week (Study 5) and 12-week (NCT01952080) duration in which 41 pediatric patients were treated with GATTEX in the following groups: 1 infant (1 year to less than 2 years), 37 children (2 years to less than 12 years) and 3 adolescents (12 years to less than 17 years)...
