COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Feb. 15, 2016 -- Zealand informs that it has successfully dosed the first patients in a clinical Phase II Proof-of-Concept trial with ZP1848 for the treatment of short bowel syndrome (SBS). SBS is a serious condition of intestinal function failure following surgical removal of large parts of the intestines due to cancer, ischemia or Crohn's disease. ZP1848 is a novel, long-acting GLP-2 analogue with a unique stability profile in liquid formulation, which is invented and fully owned by Zealand.

The start of patient in the Phase II trial is an important step in the further development of ZP1848 in that the trial is intended to demonstrate the clinical relevance and profile of the product as a new and better treatment option.
