About this study

Investigate the safety and efficacy of multi-channel gastric electrical stimulation in the treatment of patients with severe diabetic gastroparesis refractory to standard therapy.

Read the detailed description

Evaluation of severe symptom control of nausea, vomiting, postprandial fullness, early satiety, bloating and discomfort related to drug refractory gastroparesis present as a GI complication in diabetic patients. External gastric pacemaker system will be placed at the same time of implantation of Enterra (internal gastric stimulator-permanent device) to assess symptoms, quality of life improvement and investigate the changes in gastric emptying time in diabetic gastroparesis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Slow Wave Entrainment

    Participants were monitored for up to 3 months. Measure is the percent of normal slow waves (2-4 cpm) generated by MGP-1 device while it was ON or OFF

    Measured: 12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Percent (Percentage) of Gastric Retention of a Solid Meal

    The retention of a study meal was measured at baseline, 1,2,3 and 4 hours of the test. The percent of food retained in a stomach at 4 hours was compared when MGP-1 was ON and OFF.

    Measured: 12 Weeks

  2. Severity of Gastroparetic Symptoms

    Measure represents change in symptom severity as measured by a self assessment Symptom Interview Form evaluating severity of vomiting, nausea, early satiety, bloating, postprandial fullness, epigastric pain, and epigastric burning. Symptoms were rated from 0 - absence of symptom to 4 - extremely severe. The overall score was calculated from the sum of seven symptom sub-scores with a total possible score range of 0 - absence of all symptoms to 28 - all symptoms extremely severe.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Changes in Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment (Physical (P) and Mental (M))

    Measure represents percentage change from baseline to end of study. QoL measured using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. The SF-36 is a generic measure of QoL. Physical QoL (Physical Component Summary; PCS) and emotional QoL (Mental Component summary; MCS) scale components of the survey used for outcome. Scores range from 0 to 100 with lower scores indicating more disability and higher scores less disability.

    Measured: 12 Weeks

  4. Changes in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Level

    HbA1c was evaluated at the baseline and after completion of all the phases of the study

    Measured: 12 Weeks

  5. Changes in Hospital Admissions

    Measured by days of hospitalization per patient. Number of days of hospitalization was recorded at baseline and after completion of all phases of the study.

    Measured: 12 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Enterra Multi-Channel Phased Gastric Pacemaker (MGP-1) in people with Gastric Stasis, run by University of Kansas Medical Center 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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 31 May 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Slow Wave Entrainment (time frame: 12 Weeks). 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 31 May 2019.
