About this study

Official title: A Dose-Ranging, Randomized, Parallel, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Effect of TAK-954 on Gastrointestinal and Colonic Transit in Patients With Diabetic or Idiopathic Gastroparesis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-dependent effects of TAK-954 on gastric emptying time of solids in participants with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis assessed by scintigraphy.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-954. TAK-954 is a serotonin (5 HT4) receptor agonist and is being tested to treat people who have diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis and who previously reported delay in stomach emptying. This study will look at the gastric emptying time of solids in people who take TAK-954 or placebo.

The study will enroll approximately 41 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the four treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

  • TAK-954 0.1 mg
  • TAK-954 0.3 mg
  • TAK-954 1 mg
  • Placebo (dummy inactive solution) - this is a solution that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredient.

This single center trial will be conducted in the United States. The duration of treatment is 3 days and the overall period of evaluation is up to 28 days. The participants will be contacted by telephone (Days 10 to 14) for follow-up assessment. There will be another follow-up phone call for women of childbearing potential (Days 38 to 43).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Half-emptying Time (T1/2) of Gastric Solids

    Half-emptying time (t1/2) of gastric solids is the time for half of the ingested solids or liquids to leave the stomach. Scintigraphy assessments were used to evaluate the gastric emptying of solids following a radio-labelled meal. A negative percent change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Predose and at multiple time-points post-dose (up to 9 hours) on Day 2

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Colonic Geometric Center

    The scintigraphic method was used to measure colonic geometric center following a radio-labelled meal. The geometric center (GC) was the weighted average of counts in the different colonic regions, where 0= no radioactivity in the colon and if radioactivity was detected in the colon, 1=all isotope was in the ascending colon and 5=all isotope was in the stool; a high GC indicated faster colonic transit.

    Measured: 4, 24, and 48 hours post-radiolabeled meal on Day 2

  2. Colonic Filling at Hour 6

    Colonic filling was estimated as percentage of the radio-labelled meal that reached the colon at Hour 6.

    Measured: 6 hours post-radiolabel meal on Day 2

  3. Half-emptying Time (T1/2) of Ascending Colon

    T1/2 of ascending colon emptying was estimated by analysis of proportionate emptying over time of counts from the colon. Scintigraphy assessments were used to evaluate the emptying of solids or liquids from ascending colon following a radio-labelled meal.

    Measured: Predose and at multiple time-points post-dose (up to 25 hours) on Days 1, 2 and 3

  4. AUCtau: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to t for TAK-954

    Measured: Predose and at multiple time-points post-dose (up to 25 hours) on Days 1, 2 and 3

  5. Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for TAK-954

    Measured: Predose and at multiple time-points post-dose (up to 25 hours) on Days 1, 2 and 3

  6. Ctrough: Observed Plasma Concentration at the End of a Dosing Interval

    Measured: At multiple time-points post-dose, up to 9 hours on Day 2 and up to 25 hours on Day 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TAK-954 in people with Diabetic Gastroparesis and Idiopathic Gastroparesis, run by Takeda 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 2 inclusion and 15 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 7 Jan 2021. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percent Change From Baseline in Half-emptying Time (T1/2) of Gastric Solids (time frame: Predose and at multiple time-points post-dose (up to 9 hours) on Day 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 NCT03281577, 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 7 Jan 2021.
