Active clinical trials for "Gastroparesis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute effects of sitagliptin on postprandial glycemia, incretin hormones and blood pressure, and the relationship to gastric emptying, after a mashed potato meal in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This study is designed to learn if hemin can increase the production of heme oxygenase 1 and improve gastric (stomach) emptying and symptoms in diabetic patients with slow gastric emptying (gastroparesis).

Kuvan® (sapropterin dihydrochloride) for Improving Gastric Accommodation in Women with Diabetic Gastroparesis (KIGA-DG)

Study 0099 explores the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of velusetrag in the treatment of symptoms in subjects with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis. Three dose levels of velusetrag will be evaluated and compared to placebo for approximately 12 weeks of therapy. In addition, the study will be used to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Gastroparesis Rating Scale (GRS), a daily patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure.

The purpose of this study is to determine the absolute oral bioavailability and intravenous pharmacokinetics of GSK962040. The oral dose of 50 mg has been selected because it was well tolerated following single oral administration and it is considered to be within therapeutic dose range. The need to characterize the intravenous disposition of GSK962040 is in anticipation of drug use in special populations such as critically.

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the symptomatic efficacy and the impact on the utilization of healthcare resources of a treatment by gastric electrical stimulation (ENTERRA ®) in patients with refractory nausea and/or vomiting leading to a nutritional impairment. Eligible patients will be those with refractory symptoms either idiopathic, postsurgical or due to diabetes mellitus. The duration of the study will be 28 months for each patient. After a run-in period of 4 months during which a prospective assessment of healthcare resources utilization and of the severity of the symptoms will be obtained, patients will be implanted. The follow-up period after implantation of the device will last 24 months in every patients and will be divided in two parts: a) After the first postoperative month during which the device will remained on the "OFF" position, the first phase of the study will be a randomized double-blind cross-over study with 2 periods of 4 months during which the device will be activated or not. After the 9th month of follow up, the trial will be an open trial and the device will be activated in all patients. During the whole trial, patients will record all types of healthcare resources utilizations (hospitalizations, drug treatments, endoscopic procedures…) while the symptomatic efficacy of the treatment will be assessed by standard questionnaires at the following visits scheduled at 1, 5, 9, 12, 18, 24 months. The glycemic control will be determined at each visit in diabetic patients. A delayed gastric emptying will not be a selection criteria but we have planned to analyze the clinical results of the treatment in taking into account a delayed or normal gastric emptying during the pre-implantation period. Moreover, gastric emptying studies have been scheduled at 5, 9, 12 and 24 months to test the impact of gastric electrical stimulation on gastric emptying.

Investigate the safety and efficacy of multi-channel gastric electrical stimulation in the treatment of patients with severe diabetic gastroparesis refractory to standard therapy.

This study is intended to evaluate the potential to relieve the symptoms associated with gastroparesis during 12 weeks of treatment with oral tablets given twice a day of GM-611 5mg, 10mg or placebo to type I or II diabetics who require insulin. Additionally the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of GM-611 compared to placebo, the levels of GM-611 in the blood, and the possible effect of GM-611 on diabetic control.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety of IW-9179 in patients with diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) and the effect of treatment on the cardinal symptoms of DGP.

Gastroparesis is a disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying leading to symptoms of nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain. A common cause is diabetes but even more often it occurs in otherwise healthy individuals. The symptoms of gastroparesis can significantly alter a patient's quality of life. Current therapies are limited. In this study, the investigators seek to determine if twice weekly acupuncture treatments can improve symptoms of gastroparesis.
