Inclusion Criteria: * Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activity * Completed the full treatment period of the extension trial EASE SBS 2 (ZP1848-17127) Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition, disease, or circumstance that in the Investigator's opinion would put the patient at any undue risk, prevent completion of the trial, or confound the planned assessments of the trial * Not having a colonoscopy performed at End of Trial in EASE SBS 2 (for patients with remnant colon). Note. The results of the colonoscopy must not give rise to any safety concerns. A colonoscopy performed within 6 months prior to End of Trial and not giving rise to any safety concerns is accepted. For patients with a remnant colon, which is not connected to the passage of foods and is thereby dormant, a computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will suffice at the discretion of the Investigator * Use of GLP-1, GLP-2, human growth hormone (HGH), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, somatostatin, or analogs thereof within 3 months. Note: Prior use of glepaglutide trial drug is allowed * Females of childbearing potential, who are pregnant, breast-feeding, intend to become pregnant, or are not using highly effective contraceptive methods

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
