About this study

Official title: Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess Efficacy and Safety of R051619 (Cisapride 10 mg Q.I.D.) Versus Placebo for the Improvement of Symptoms Associated With Exacerbations of Gastroparesis, After Failure of Other Treatments, in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of cisapride at improving symptoms associated with gastroparesis (a stomach disorder) in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind (neither the physician nor the patient will know the name of assigned treatment) study to determine the effectiveness of cisapride tablets compared to placebo tablets (a tablet identical in appearance to cisapride but does not contain active drug) at improving symptoms associated with diabetic gastroparesis when administered orally (by mouth) to patients with insulin dependent or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Gastroparesis is a disorder also called delayed gastric emptying, in which the stomach takes too long to empty food into the small intestine for digestion. Symptoms of gastroparesis may include vomiting, nausea, early feeling of fullness after only a few bites of food, weight loss due to poor absorption of nutrients or low calorie intake, abdominal bloating, poor glycemic (blood sugar) control, lack of appetite, and pain in the stomach area. Patients will take study drug (one 10-mg tablet of cisapride, or one tablet of placebo), orally, 4 times a day, for a period of 8 weeks. Study drug will be taken approximately 15 minutes before each meal and, with a beverage, before going to bed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cisapride in people with Gastroparesis and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor request). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The change from baseline in Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptoms Index (GCSI) score (time frame: At baseline (Visit 2) and weekly during the treatment phase of the trial for up to 8 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 Jan 2011.
