About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Body Surface Gastric Mapping (BSGM) and Gastric Emptying Rate

Currently, a new generation of high-resolution electrogastrograms recording technology with 64-channel electrode array is being developed by Alimetry Limited. This BSGM provide a more complete understanding of the origin and propagation of human gastric slow-wave activity non-invasively, such as frequency, amplitude, velocity, and pattern, in high spatiotemporal detail. The system is also capable of providing a novel meal response metric, which might correlate with the gastric emptying time. The system includes an App for tracking patient-reported symptoms throughout the test.The aim of the present study is to assess and compare BSGM and breath-based gastric emptying parameters and to study the relation between BSGM and presence or severity of individual symptoms and clinical features.The investigators will perform a study in 100 subjects to record gastric bioelectrical activity by non-invasive multi-channel body-surface electrode arrays during gastric emptying breathing test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Validation of body surface gastric mapping for delayed gastric emptying

    The correlation of electrogastrography abnormality (in percentage) and delayed gastric emptying (t 1/2, minutes) will be determined employing a regression method.

    Measured: 30 minutes before the meal and 4 hours after having meal.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess correlation between electrogastrography abnormality and upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) score for gastrointestinal symptoms, including pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating and flatulence will be recoded during recording gastric electrophysiological activity. The correlation of electrogastrography abnormality (in percentage) and upper gastrointestinal symptoms severity will be determined employing a regression method.

    Measured: 30 minutes before the meal and 4 hours after having meal.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Motility Disorder, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source 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?

Validation of body surface gastric mapping for delayed gastric emptying (time frame: 30 minutes before the meal and 4 hours after having meal.). 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 NCT05093010, 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 26 Oct 2021.
