What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Magnetic Marker Imaging (MMI) with Magma 3D systemDevice

    Magnetic Marker Imaging (MMI). It comprises of a high-resolution three-dimensional detector system, that detects passively and continuously the magnetic field of a magnetic marker capsule (1g, 6x12mm), which is taken orally by the subject. Changes in frequency, intensity and duration of oscillating marker movements allow us to delineate migrating gastric motor complexes. The Magnetic Marker Imaging takes up to 4 h in which the patient lies in a bed. Short interruptions (e.g. to visit the restroom) during this 4 h period are possible.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of gastric peristalsis

    Measured: 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Intensity of gastric peristaltic waves

    Measured: 4 hours

  2. Correlation with other parameters of diabetic polyneuropathy (nausea, postprandial fullness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, early satiety, erratic blood glucose levels and weight loss evaluated by a standardized questionnaire)

    Measured: 4 hours

  3. Influence of age on parameters of diabetic polyneuropathy measurable by magnetic marker imaging

    Measured: 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Magnetic Marker Imaging (MMI) with Magma 3D system in people with Diabetic Polyneuropathy and Diabetic Gastroparesis, run by Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 Sep 2012. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Frequency of gastric peristalsis (time frame: 4 hours). 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 5 Sep 2012.
