About this study

Official title: Open Label Transdermal Granisetron to Relieve Chronic Nausea and Emesis and to Reduce Medical Utilization in Patients With Gastroparesis

To determine the efficacy of open -label transdermal patch on chronic nausea and emesis in patients with gastroparesis

Read the detailed description

Gastroparesis is a chronic syndrome associated with a delay in stomach emptying. The clinical presentation of gastroparesis is very heterogeneous but can generally categorized into emesis-predominant, regurgitation-predominant and dyspeptic-predominant gastroparesis.

The underlying cause of nausea is very difficult to identify, and physician is often treat nausea symptomatically with anti-nausea and anti-emetic medications.4, 5 Phenothiazine's such as prochlorperazine (Compazine®), promethazine (Phenergan®), and trimethobenzamide (Tigan®) have significant side effects and the potential of withdraw symptoms when these medications are stopped. Serotonin (5- HT3) antagonists have central emetic effects and have been utilized in acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron, granisetron, palonosetron, and dolasetron are currently available as 5- HT3 antagonists for nausea and emesis. Oral dissolving and oral tablet formulation is suboptimal in outpatients with frequent emesis. Transdermal formulation may be optimal for patients with prolong nausea and vomiting, but data for chronic symptoms associated with gastroparesis is very limited.

An open-label, uncontrolled treatment pilot study with 2-week cycles of granisetron transdermal patch for 24 weeks in patients with chronic nausea and vomiting associated with gastroparesis

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with improvement in chronic nausea and emesis.

    Incidence of participants who benefitted from the use of the patch at the end of 2 weeks, 8 weeks, 16 weeks and 24 weeks as assessed by the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index Nausea-Vomiting (GCSI-N/V). Mean subscale scores will compared for improvement every 6 weeks.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with reduced medical utilization for gastroparesis.

    Incidence of participants who required less medical resources during treatment by comparing subject self-reports of medication usage, ER visits, home health therapy, and hospitalizations 12 weeks before, 12 weeks after, and 24 weeks after treatment with open label transdermal granisetron.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Granisetron in people with Gastroparesis, run by Indiana University 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 4 inclusion and 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2022. 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. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of participants with improvement in chronic nausea and emesis. (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 14 Feb 2022.
