About this study

Gastroparesis is a common chronic condition, disabling the limited therapeutic resources justifying the exploration of new therapeutic possibilities.

By analogy to the technique of Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), we believe that myotomy pyloric muscle (POP = Per Oral Pyloromyotomy) endoscopically could become a treatment of choice in the refractory gastroparesis with drug treatments by attacking the pyloric obstacle often spastic that counteracts an effective gastric emptying.

Read the detailed description

Experimental study, prospective, single-center, POP feasibility pilot in the treatment of refractory gastroparesis.

Patients with gastroparesis (significant prolongation of gastric emptying) unimproved by prokinetic treatment and meet all the eligibility criteria will be included after a period of reflection of two weeks minimum.

20 patients will be prospectively included 10 patients with diabetic gastroparesis, 10 patients with non-diabetic gastroparesis (post-surgical, post-Sjogren, idiopathic).

POP will be performed under general anesthesia in intubated-ventilated patients using a carbon dioxide (CO2) inflator. The published standard technique and learned by our team on the pig model will be conducted: submucosal tunnel at the anterior surface of the gastric antrum starting 3-5 cm proximal to the pylorus front section to the fiber by fiber to the muscular pyloric, then closing the inlet tunnel by hemostatic clips.

An evaluation of symptoms by the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (ISCC) of the quality of life of the patient Assessment of upper gastrointestinal disorders-Quality Of Life (PAGI-QoL), SF-36 and gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI ) and gastric emptying by a scintigraphic gastric emptying will be carried out at 3 months.

What participants receive

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

  • per oral pylorotomyProcedure or surgery

    The procedure is endoscopic pylorotomy. The standard procedure consists in the realization of a longitudinal incision of 2 cm at the anterior surface of the gastric antrum at 5 cm from the pylorus after a submucosal injection of a solution containing 85% saline 10% glycerol and 5% fructose. This longitudinal incision serve as an input for producing a submucosal tunnel dissected fibers gastric submucosa step. The internal circular of the pyloric muscle is then severed fiber after fiber over its entire length and its entire thickness. Once the pyloric section completed, the tunnel inlet will be closed by means of hemostatic clips.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of technical success for endoscopic pylorotomy on the total number of gestures.

    Technical feasibility will be the feasibility of endoscopic pylorotomy gesture by the technique of the tunnel.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Incidence of adverse events of pylorotomy

    analysis of adverse events during the 3 months following the pylorotomy (including perforation per-gesture, bleeding post-gesture)

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Ratio between the diameter of the pyloric canal and the pyloric pressure

    Evaluation of the pyloric compliance by the Endolumenal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (EndoFLIP) system before the procedure and at 3 months, depending on etiology.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

  3. Assessment of gastric emptying scintigraphy

    Assessment of gastric emptying scintigraphy before the procedure and at 3 months by measuring the half gastric emptying time and percentage retention to 4 hours

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

  4. Assessment of gastroparesis severity symptom using the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI)

    Evaluation of the severity of gastroparesis symptom using the GCSI questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, 1 month and 3 month

  5. Assessment of Quality of Life in Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders (PAGI-QOL)

    Evaluation of the quality of life of patient with Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders using PAGI-QOL questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, 1 month and 3 month

  6. Assessment of Quality of Life in Gastrointestinal disease (GIQLI)

    Evaluation of quality of life of patients with gastrointestinal Disease using GIQLI questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, 1 month and 3 month

  7. Assessment of functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view (SF-36)

    Evaluation of of functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view using SF-36 questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, 1 month and 3 month

  8. Consumption of gastric prokinetic drugs

    Data collecting about domperidone, metoclopramide and erythromycin consumption.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing per oral pylorotomy in people with Gastroparesis, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 1 site in France.

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 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of technical success for endoscopic pylorotomy on the total number of gestures. (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02779920, which also lists 1 linked publication.
