    Gastric motility is recorded continuously with the VIPUN Balloon Catheter for 10 hours.

Study groups in NCT03512145
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
VIPUN Balloon CatheterExperimentalRecording of gastric motility with the investigational medical device. Gastric emptying rate of a liquid meal is assessed with the 13C-octanoate breath test.
Receives: Device: VIPUN Balloon Catheter

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastric motility

    Assessed with the VIPUN Balloon Catheter

    Measured: 10 hours

  2. gastric emptying rate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VIPUN Balloon Catheter in people with Critical Illness and Intolerance; Nutritional, run by Prof Dr Jan Tack at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

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?

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?
