Active clinical trials for "Gastroparesis"

The aims of MOT112571 are to assess the pharmacodynamic effects, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and potential therapeutic benefit of single doses of GSK962040 in critically ill patients with delayed gastric emptying and who are intolerant to enteral feeding.

A pilot study to assess the safety, feasibility, and potential (uncontrolled) efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) in conjunction with an insulin pump to improve glycemic control for treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients with gastroparesis

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and exposure of repeat escalating oral doses of GSK962040.

Gastroparesis is a common disease defined as delayed emptying of the stomach. It is present in at least 20% of about 150 million patients with diabetes worldwide and in more than 20% of patients with functional dyspepsia that affects about 10%-25% of the general population. Gastroparesis is a refractory disease with a lack of therapeutic options. Common symptoms of gastroparesis include nausea, vomiting, early satiety and abdominal bloating. Electroacupuncture (EA) is a combined procedure with acupuncture and electrical current stimulation instead of manual manipulations of the needles. Recent studies in our lab with EA or transcutaneous EA (TEA) have suggested a therapeutic role of EA or TEA for gastric motility disorders. Improvement has been observed with EA or TEA in gastric emptying as well as dyspeptic symptoms. In this project, a micro-stimulator is designed and developed for the TEA therapy. The micro-stimulator is small enough so that it can be attached to the skin next to the stimulation electrodes and therefore the patient can resume normal daily activity while being treated by TEA. This is not only attractive but also more effective since TEA can be performed more often and for longer durations. This exploratory project is designed to study the feasibility, efficacy and certain mechanisms of the proposed method of "wireless" TEA in patients with gastroparesis. Firstly the feasibility of the chronic use the proposed micro-stimulator will be studied. Secondly, the efficacy of the TEA in improving delayed gastric emptying and symptoms of gastroparesis will be investigated in a double-blinded crossover design in patients with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis. Thirdly, possible mechanisms involving pathogeneses of gastroparesis with TEA will be investigated.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of two dosage levels (10mg and 20mg) of TZP-102 compared to placebo (capsule that looks like the study drug but contains no active drug), administered once-daily for 12 weeks, in diabetic subjects with symptoms associated with gastroparesis.

This study evaluates CNSA-001 (sepiapterin) in the treatment of women with moderate to severe diabetic gastroparesis. Participants will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive CNSA-001 20 (milligrams) mg/kilogram (kg)/day or placebo. All participants will receive the standard of care for diabetic gastroparesis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of gastroparesis.

This is a retrospective study assessing the effectiveness of endoscopic pyloromyotomy in patients suffering from gastroparesis and/or symptoms of delayed gastric emptying after esophagectomy with gastric pull-through. Several, mainly European, centres which perform G-POEM on a routine basis will be asked to participate. The main reason to assess the effectiveness of G-POEM in this specific subgroup of patients is the fact this specific subgroup of patients is often being excluded from trials assessing efficacy and safety of G-POEM. The participating centres will be asked to report appropriate patients among those who have undergone G-POEM since 2015 till December 2023. Patients fulfilling inclusion and not having exclusion criteria will be included into the analysis; the minimum follow-up is set to 6 months after G-POEM. The main outcome is the symptomatic response at 6, 12 and 24 months (measured by GCSI score). Other endpoints will be change in other symptoms not covered by GCSI, change in gastric emptying rate and safety of the procedure. For each enrolled patient a case report form (CRF) will be filled in and delivered to the leading centre via an online database or in other forms if preferred by the respective centres. The leading centre will be responsible for data collection and analysis.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will compare the effect of 2 different dosage regimens of PCS12852 on gastric emptying time to placebo in both idiopathic gastroparesis (IG) and diabetic gastroparesis (DG) patients.

Gastric myotomy has been performed for several years as a means of addressing chronic stenosis after sleeve gastrectomy and treating gastroparesis. The Pylorus Sparing Antral Myotomy (PSAM) technique has the opposite effect by leaving the pylorus intact and extending the myotomy proximally to the distal gastric body. PSAM was initially combined with ESG and shown to delay gastric emptying and provide greater weight loss without impacting tolerability (GCSI score) or the safety profile of the procedure (2 DDW GEM abstracts). PSAM has not been evaluated alone, without concomitant ESG. Since delayed gastric emptying alone is known to promote weight loss, it is thought that PSAM alone (without ESG) may provide similar efficacy, while reducing procedure time and adverse events. There have been no clinical studies that investigate the efficacy of PSAM independent of ESG. This pilot study aims to address this lack of information by evaluating the safety, tolerability, and short-term efficacy of PSAM, in addition to exploring its impact on gastric physiology. This will also provide data that may be used in designing a larger clinical trial.
