Filter by: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.
The Gastroparesis Registry (GpR) is an observational study to clarify the epidemiology, natural history, clinical course, and other outcomes of gastroparesis.
It is hypothesized that in some patients with gastroparesis increased pyloric tone may be a contributing feature. Botox relaxes the pylorus so that food can empty the stomach more rapidly. Lesser quality studies have shown that this treatment works in about 40% of patients, and relieves symptoms for up to 3 months. This study compares this treatment to placebo (saline) injection. After a 1 month period patients may elect to receive open label botox who have not received relief from their first injection. Patients symptoms and gastric emptying are followed for 1 year.
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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between gastric residence time of the SmartPill Capsule and the time required for partial emptying of a standard radiolabeled meal as measured by gastric emptying scintigraphy.
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 purposes of this study are to determine whether an experimental drug known as tadalafil can reduce symptoms of dyspepsia (fullness after eating, inability to finish a regular meal, bloating, discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, belching after meals, nausea, vomiting) in diabetic patients, and/or reduce the amount of time the stomach takes to empty the contents of a standard meal. The safety of tadalafil given once daily for 8 weeks in this population will also be studied.
