Filter by:Healthy volunteers will ingest a 13C-octaoate containing test meal and 13C in expiratory air will be followed. Normal values will be calculated data of these tests.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of multiple dose regimens of relamorelin on vomiting episodes, gastric emptying and gastroparesis symptoms in participants with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis. Study drug (relamorelin and placebo) will be administered subcutaneously in a blinded fashion.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute effects of sitagliptin on postprandial glycemia, incretin hormones and blood pressure, and the relationship to gastric emptying, after a mashed potato meal in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety of IW-9179 in patients with diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) and the effect of treatment on the cardinal symptoms of DGP.
Study 0099 explores the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of velusetrag in the treatment of symptoms in subjects with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis. Three dose levels of velusetrag will be evaluated and compared to placebo for approximately 12 weeks of therapy. In addition, the study will be used to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Gastroparesis Rating Scale (GRS), a daily patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of Roux-en Y reconstruction (study group, DPCDA) versus classical Child reconstruction (DPCUN) in the incidence of VGL in patients for DPC. The hypotesis of the study is that Roux-en Y reconstruction decreases incidence of DGE after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
To assess if oral nizatidine or lisinopril alone and in combination will increase heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) protein concentration and activity compared to placebo in healthy subjects.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial designed to confirm the symptomatic effects of camicinal treatment vs. placebo, on gastroparesis symptoms in type 1 and 2 diabetic subjects with gastroparesis. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if a low-dose of camicinal (25 milligram[mg]) for 12 weeks of repeat administration improves gastroparesis symptoms as measured by the Gastrointestinal Cardinal Symptom Index - Daily Diary (GCSI-DD) in approximately 120 subjects with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who have documented abnormally slow gastric emptying and have symptoms consistent with gastroparesis. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either camicinal or placebo. The study will consist of a screening/baseline period of up to 35 days, a 12 week treatment period, a 2-week post-treatment assessment of symptoms and a 14 day (+/- 2 days) post treatment safety follow-up visit.
Gastroparesis, also referred to as delayed gastric emptying, is a debilitating, chronic disorder that slows or stops the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine. The purpose of this study is to test whether TC-6499 is safe and effective at reducing gastric emptying time in diabetic subjects with gastroparesis.
The incidence of gastroparesis has been increasing among Canadians. Symptoms of discomfort include early satiety, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting. In addition, because gastroparesis slows digestion, it can lead to malnutrition and make controlling blood sugar even more challenging for diabetics. Mild cases of gastroparesis can be helped with dietary and lifestyle modifications but treatments for more severe symptoms are limited. There are several drugs called pro-kinetics available in Canada though results vary among patients and these often cause significant side effects. Recently, a drug called Prucalopride was approved for use in Canada to treat constipation. It has pro-kinetic properties and has been shown to cause few side effects. The investigators propose to test prucalopride as a treatment for gastroparesis by recruiting 30 patients from the Calgary area who have gastroparesis. The investigators will test the effects of this treatment by alternating 28 days of active treatment with prucalopride with 28 days of treatment with a non active placebo adding a two week break in between treatments. The order of the treatment will be randomized and neither the patients nor the investigators will know whether they are receiving the active treatment or the placebo until the study has been completely finished. The investigators will measure the effects using questionnaires that assess patient symptoms such as nausea and pain as well as quality of life during two gastric emptying tests and throughout the treatment periods. The effectiveness of the active treatment will be evaluated by comparing the extent of the change in symptoms before and after treatments and the difference in gastric emptying times as compared to the placebo treatment. The investigators will also monitor and track all possible side effects that patients experience during the study. Study Hypotheses In patients with gastroparesis: 1. Prucalopride 4 mg daily improves meal-related symptoms compared to placebo as defined by the change in cumulative meal-related symptoms. (primary endpoint). 2. Prucalopride 4 mg daily accelerates gastric emptying rate compared to placebo. (secondary endpoint). 3. A correlation exists between the effect of prucalopride on gastric emptying rate and symptom improvement.
