Active clinical trials for "Gastroparesis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of multiple dose regimens of relamorelin on vomiting episodes, gastric emptying and gastroparesis symptoms in participants with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis. Study drug (relamorelin and placebo) will be administered subcutaneously in a blinded fashion.

The purpose of this study is provide confirmation of the safety and efficacy of Metoclopramide Nasal Spray compared to placebo in reducing the symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis in adult women.

The purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of Metoclopramide Nasal Spray compared to placebo in reducing the symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis in adult men.

Gastroparesis is a common chronic condition, disabling the limited therapeutic resources justifying the exploration of new therapeutic possibilities. By analogy to the technique of Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), we believe that myotomy pyloric muscle (POP = Per Oral Pyloromyotomy) endoscopically could become a treatment of choice in the refractory gastroparesis with drug treatments by attacking the pyloric obstacle often spastic that counteracts an effective gastric emptying.

Itopride is a new compound that is already marketed in Japan and in some countries of Eastern Europe under the name of Ganaton. It is used to treat symptoms associated with gastroparesis. Due to inadequate gastric emptying, these patients often have symptoms of bloating, nausea and vomiting following ingestion of a meal. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of Itopride on gastric motor function and glycemia in patients with diabetes.

The purpose of this research is to determine if temporary gastric electrical stimulation will help improve symptoms of gastroparesis (abnormal stomach emptying). We hypothesize that when the device is ON, Gastrointestinal symptoms will decrease by at least 50% from baseline.

In patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) delayed gastric emptying has been speculated as a cause of aspiration pneumonia. Elemental diet may facilitate gastric emptying in PEG patients as compared with regular liquid enteral nutrients, resulting in the prevention of aspiration pneumonia.

This was a randomized unblinded single-centre trial. The main hypothesis of the study was that pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy reduces the incidence of delayed gastric emptying . Patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were randomized to undergo one of two types of surgical technique: pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy versus stardard pancreatoduodenectomy with antrectomy. The primary endpoint was the incidence and severity of delayed gastric emptying. Secondary endpoints were postoperative morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay, and nutritional status and quality of life.

The principal objective of this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate whether treatment with nortriptyline will improve gastroparesis symptoms compared with placebo.

To determine whether a new Orally Disintegrating Tablet of Reglan (metoclopramide) is metabolized faster than the conventional Reglan tablet in patients with diabetic gastroparesis, pharmacokinetics following a single 10 mg dose of each formulation are being compared. Subjects must be 18 or older, have Type 1 or 2 diabetes with documented gastroparesis and agree to withhold medications for gastroparesis for 3 days prior to each dosing. Exclusion criteria include serum glucose >300 mg/dL, Hb1Ac >10%, and concurrent illness interfering with gastrointestinal motility. Subjects will stay in the clinic overnight, and pharmacokinetic sampling will continue for 8 hours after the first morning dose. The time (Tmax) and amount (Cmax) of peak concentration and the area under the curve (AUC) from time zero to 8 hr will be compared for the 2 formulations.
