About this study

Official title: Comparing Treatment With Food of Small Particle Size and Food of Large Particle Size in Subjects With Diabetic Gastroparesis. Evaluation of Diagnostic Methods. Determination of the Motility of Gastric Emptying After Intervention

The objective of the study is in subjects with Insulin Treated Diabetes Mellitus type 1 or 2 and gastroparesis:

  • validate radiopaque markers with fluoroscopy with gastric scintigraphy method
  • study the difference of metabolic control including the frequents of hypoglycaemia, gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life and nutrition state during dietary treatment of food of small particle size compared with food of large particle size
  • validate the radiopaque markers method and measurement of the blood glucose and gastrointestinal symptoms after a test meal, against the gastric scintigraphy
  • determine if the function of gastric emptying can be improved after intervention
Being tested
dietary treatment: food of small particle size, Validate X-ray diagnostic method., Can the motility be improved, postprandial plasma glucose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing dietary treatment: food of small particle size, Validate X-ray diagnostic method. and Can the motility be improved in people with Diabetic Gastroparesis, run by Göteborg University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 2 inclusion and 12 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 6 Nov 2018. 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 Sweden. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Metabolic Control - HbA1c (time frame: 22 weeks). 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 NCT01557296, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Nov 2018.
