  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Controlled Type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus (HbA1c <10.1%).

Who cannot join

  • Unable or unwilling to provide informed consent or to comply with study procedures.

  • Acute or chronic illness or history of illness, which in the opinion of the Investigator, could pose a threat or harm to the patient or obscure interpretation of laboratory test results or interpretation of study data such as frequent angina, Class III or IV congestive heart failure, poor renal or hepatic function, etc.
  • Any clinically significant abnormalities on screening laboratories as determined by the Investigator.
  • Abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), including evidence of acute myocardial or subendocardial ischemia and clinically significant arrhythmias or conduction abnormalities or blood pressure at screening except minor deviations deemed to be of no clinical significance by the Investigator.
  • Poor venous access or inability to tolerate venipuncture.

  • Acute GI illness within 48 hours of Period 1.
  • Positive pregnancy test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of RM-131 on gastric emptying

    Change from baseline in gastric half-emptying time by scintigraphy (solids and liquids)

    Measured: Day 1 at baseline vs Day 1 at 6 hours after dosing in Period 1 and Day 1 at baseline vs Day 1 at 6 hours after dosing in Period 2

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety and tolerability of RM-131

    Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Day 1 and 2 after dosing in Period 1 and Day 1 and 2 after dosing in Period 2

  2. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of RM-131

    Median T-max of RM-131 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

    Measured: Day 1 at baseline vs Day 1 at 6 hours after dosing in Period 1 and Day 1 at baseline vs Day 1 at 6 hours after dosing in Period 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RM-131 in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 and 2 and Diabetes Mellitus Complications, run by Motus Therapeutics, Inc. 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 22 Sep 2016. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of RM-131 on gastric emptying (time frame: Day 1 at baseline vs Day 1 at 6 hours after dosing in Period 1 and Day 1 at baseline vs Day 1 at 6 hours after dosing in Period 2). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01394055, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Sep 2016.
