Filter by:Gastric per-oral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) has been assessed as new modality for treatment of refractory gastroparesis. G-POEM is promising method, which is still under investigation as its safety and efficacy has not been established yet. The ideal closure technique in patients undergoing G-POEM needs to be established. Several techniques may be used for endoscopic mucosal closure: endoscopic clips, OTSC (over the scope clips), endo-loop based methods (KING closure) or endoscopic suture. The aim of this prospective, open-label study is to compare efficacy and safety of two methods for incision closure in patients who undergo G-POEM: endoscopic clips vs. endoscopic suturing system (OverStitch).
This study evaluates whether the study medication, buspirone, an antianxiety drug, improves the symptoms of gastroparesis in patients with gastroparesis symptoms and at least moderately severe symptoms of fullness and/or inability to eat a full meal. Half the patients will receive buspirone and half the patients will receive a placebo.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with 2 dose levels of TAK-906 in adult participants with gastroparesis compared with placebo during 12 weeks of treatment.
The aim of the present prospective study was, first, to verify the correlation between biliary colonization and postoperative infectious complications, and secondarily to asses morbidity and mortality for patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. The hypothesis is that a proportion of post-operative infections after pancreaticoduodenectomy is due to bacteria that colonize the bile ducts during the preoperative period.
An open label, non-randomized, monocentric, interventional investigation in a cohort of adult critically ill patients
There is a clear need for a novel method that can readily assess gastric motility in daily clinical practice. Isometric determination of the stomach motility would avoid the use of a large flaccid balloon while still being affordable. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal balloon characteristics that enable to measure motility-induced pressure changes in healthy volunteers.
Gastroparesis is a disorder triggered by numerous causes and it is defined by symptoms and with an objective evidence of delayed gastric emptying in the absence of obstruction. Effective treatment for gastroparesis is challenging especially in patients with severe symptoms. In refractory gastroparesis, endoscopic or surgical treatments may therefore be considered. Endoscopic treatments include intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin and transpyloric insertion of a metallic stent. Surgical options involve implantation of a gastric "pacemaker" (gastric stimulation), pyloroplasty and subtotal gastrectomy. Recently, a new endoscopic technique, gastric endoscopic per oral pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) has been introduced with promising preliminary results. The aim of this prospective, sham-controlled, cross-over study (cross-over for patients randomized to the sham arm) is to compare short and long-term efficacy and safety of G-POEM in patients with refractory gastroparesis. Symptoms and objective parameters of gastric emptying will be the main outcome criteria. The reason of using a sham protocol is to control for the potential confounders (therapeutic effects of touch and belief, which are components of the placebo effect).
An innovative method of needleless transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEA) using a newly developed watch-size stimulator is proposed. Weak electrical current will be delivered via skin surface electrodes to acupuncture points related to gastrointestinal functions. The stimulator can be attached to the skin near the acupuncture points and therefore daily activity of the patient does not need to be altered. Two experiments are designed to prove the feasibility of the proposed therapy for gastric complications of Scleroderma .
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-dependent effects of TAK-954 on gastric emptying time of solids in participants with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis assessed by scintigraphy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, PK and PD of TAK-906 in participants with Gastroparesis (GP).
