Temporary Gastric Electrical Stimulation for Drug Refractory Gastroparesis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

Gastric Electrical Stimulation is an established treatment for drug-refractory patients who have the symptoms of gastroparesis/gastropathy. The symptoms of GP are nausea, vomiting, anorexia/early satiety, bloating/distention and abdominal pain and are classically associated with delayed gastric emptying of solids. The technique of GES was first used, in a patient seen at University of Tennesse-Memphis in 1993 and has undergone several clinical trials, particularly the GEMS trial, a feasibility trial starting in 1995 and the WAVESS trial, a double-blind trial begun in 1997. Both were international trials, showing promising results, and both have been published in the last 2 years. However, a number of issues related to who would benefit the most from Gastric Electrical Stimulation therapy have emerged. Among these issues are whether patients with etiologies other than diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis, such as post-surgical gastropathy, which is often related to rapid, not delayed gastric emptying could be helped.

Most recently a technique for the temporary placement of a Gastric Electrical Stimulation electrode in the stomach with an upper endoscope, combined with an external Gastric Electrical Stimulation device, has been tried and validated, first at UAMS in Little Rock, AR, beginning in 2001 and more recently here at UMMC, beginning later in 2001 and up until the present time. Using the technique of temporary gastric electrical stimulation, we have been able to demonstrate that TempStim can quickly demonstrate (in a manner of days) that a patient will respond to temporary GES, as quantified by a decrease in GI total symptoms and an improvement and normalization in solid gastric emptying. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
