About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Single Center, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Effects of Itopride (100 mg and 200 mg t.i.d.) on Gastric Motor and Sensory Functions in Healthy Volunteers.

A 7 day study which involves 2 nutrient drink tests, an ECG, a Scintigraphy scan, and a Sect scan. This study requires the participant to make 4 visits to the GCRC in the Charlton building but no overnight stays.

Read the detailed description

A screening interview and symptoms assessment by the Bowel Disease Questionnaire (BDQ) and consent will be obtained prior to the studies at the testing facility (General Clinical Research Center, 7th floor, Charlton Building, Mayo Clinic). Smoking status will be recorded. Vitals and an electrocardiogram will be obtained. Following an initial screening, subjects will be randomized to itopride or identical placebo.

Day 1: The participant will report in a fasting condition (10 hours) to the study center early in the morning. All participants will undergo the nutrient drink test to assess maximum tolerated volume and postprandial symptoms PRIOR to ingesting any medication.

Day 2-7: The patients will take the study medication as prescribed that is a tablet 30 minutes before meals, three times per day. On days 6, 7 and 8, the morning and midday dose of the medication intake will occur in the clinical research center under supervision of the study staff.

Day 6: The participant will return fasting for 10 hours to the study center early in the morning. Scintigraphic gastric and small bowel transit measurement will be performed, with medication ingested at standard times (30 min prior to meal), and the 99mTc-sulfur colloid labeled egg meal ingested 30 minutes after the morning dose of study medication. Imaging will be taken for 6 hours. Vitals and an electrocardiogram will be obtained Day 7: All participants will undergo a repeat nutrient drink test to assess postprandial symptoms at maximal satiety and 30 minutes after drug ingestion. The satiety study will be completed once a maximum tolerated volume is achieved, and the 30 minute post-meal questionnaire will be completed.

Day 8: The participant will return fasting to the study center early in the morning. Participants will undergo SPECT imaging to evaluate fasting gastric volume starting 30 minutes after ingestion of study medication. The participant will then ingest 300 ml of the nutrient drink Ensure", and postprandial gastric volumes will be calculated as described previously (41-46). Vitals will be obtained.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Itopride in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-prandial post drug volume-fasting post drug volume (gastric accommodation).. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Mar 2011.
