About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Study of IC351 (LY450190) in Patients With Diabetic Gastroparesis

The purposes of this study are to determine whether an experimental drug known as tadalafil can reduce symptoms of dyspepsia (fullness after eating, inability to finish a regular meal, bloating, discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, belching after meals, nausea, vomiting) in diabetic patients, and/or reduce the amount of time the stomach takes to empty the contents of a standard meal. The safety of tadalafil given once daily for 8 weeks in this population will also be studied.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing tadalafil in people with Gastroparesis, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 12 sites in Canada.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Measure of change from baseline to endpoint using the Total Symptom Severity Score in patients taking 5 mg tadalafil compared to placebo (time frame: 8 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 20 Nov 2007.
