Name
20-3016
Description
Patients with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis(IPAA; pouch) due to refractory inflammatory bowel disease and increased bowel frequency in the absence of significant pouch inflammation will be randomized to liraglutide or placebo in a prospective cross over study.

Treatment
Liraglutide Pen Injector
Treatment will be initiated at 0.6 mg per day for one week. The patient will be instructed to increase the dose to 1.2/day and 1.8 mg /day in week 2 and in week 3, respectively. From week 3 after the start of the drug until week 6 the patient will apply 1.8 mg/day liraglutide. In case of intolerance (e.g. occurrence of refractory nausea) at a higher dose (e.g. 1.8 mg daily, the highest dose in this trial) liraglutide can be reduced to the previous level.
