About this study
Official title: Prospective, Single Center, Open-labeled Single Arm Study of Evaluation of the Effect of Tulip Device on Gastric Emptying Rate in Healthy Subjects
Evaluation of the effect of Epitomee Device on Gastric Emptying Rate in healthy subjects
Read the detailed description
The participants will be enrolled in one investigational site. Subjects meeting eligibility criteria will undergo a gastric emptying test using gastric scintigraphy before any treatment (baseline).
Following the scintigraphy, the subjects will receive Tulip Device treatment - 2 capsules/day.
After repeated capsule intake for either 4 or 11 or 28 days, the subjects will undergo additional gastric emptying test with a capsule intake prior to the test meal.
