Filter by:In this study, we aim at evaluating the effect of electroacupuncture in diabetic patients with gastroparesis. Patient-based symptom severity measure, serum parameters and solid-phase gastric emptying time are measured to evaluate the effectiveness of electroacupuncture.
This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of gastric stimulation in the reduction of nausea and vomiting in patients with gastroparesis using an approved Humanitarian device. There are two cohorts in this study based on etiology, one for diabetic and one for idiopathic. A maximum of 150 patients (75 diabetic and 75 idiopathic) from up to 15 centers in the United States will be followed closely for twelve months and then once a year after that until the study closes. If you are someone suffering with symptoms of gastroparesis despite trying oral medications, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical study using a surgically implanted gastric stimulator.
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.
