Clinical Trial Summary

Functional Dyspepsia-Postprandial Distress Syndrome (FD-PDS), is characterized by meal-related symptoms such as early satiation and postprandial fullness. Disturbances of gastric motor function have been implicated the pathogenesis of PDS symptoms, and hence, motility modifying agents are considered for the treatment of PDS. Prucalopride (Resolor®), a highly selective 5-TH4 receptor agonist which stimulates gastrointestinal motility throughout the GI tract, is currently approved for the treatment of chronic constipation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of prucalopride on gastric sensorimotor function in healthy volunteers (HV). Methods A total of 17 HV (59% females, mean age 29.4±2.7 years) underwent a barostat and intragastric pressure (IGP) measurements after treatment with placebo or prucalopride (2 mg) in a single blinded cross-over fashion. Isobaric distentions with stepwise increments of 2 mm Hg starting from minimal distending pressure (MDP) and scoring of intensities of gastric sensations (0-6: pain) were used to determine gastric compliance and sensitivity. Gastric accommodation (GA) was quantified as the difference (delta) in intra-balloon volume 30 min before and 60 min after ingestion of 200 ml of a nutrient drink (ND) (1.5 kcal mL(-1)). GA measured by IGP was quantified as the drop of IGP from baseline during the intragastric infusion of ND until maximal satiation. During all tests, epigastric symptoms were scored every 5 minutes.
