About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Single Center, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Effects of Itopride (100 mg and 200 mg t.i.d.) on Gastric Motor and Sensory Functions in Healthy Volunteers

Itopride is a new compound that is already marketed in Japan and in some countries of Eastern Europe under the name of Ganaton. It is used to treat symptoms associated with gastroparesis. Due to inadequate gastric emptying, these patients often have symptoms of bloating, nausea and vomiting following ingestion of a meal. This is a randomized, parallel group, two dose double blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the effects of itopride (100 mg and 200 mg three times daily) and placebo on gastric motor and sensory functions in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

In order to compare the effects of two itopride doses (100 mg and 200 mg three times daily) and placebo on gastric emptying and small bowel transit, gastric accommodation, and postprandial symptoms in female and male healthy volunteers, the following methods, which have been extensively used and validated in the laboratory, will be used:

Scintigraphic gastric emptying of solids and small bowel transit; single photon emission computed tomography to measure gastric accommodation; and the nutrient drink test to measure maximum tolerated volume and postprandial symptoms.

Based on data acquired using the same methods in the laboratory, the sample size of 15 subjects per group provides 80% power to detect an effect size of 16% in the primary endpoint of the study, that is a change in gastric volume (postprandial - fasting). This magnitude of change is considered clinically relevant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Itopride 100 mg and Itopride 200 mg in people with Healthy, run by Forest Laboratories 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 2 inclusion and 11 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 9 Feb 2017. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Gastric emptying (time frame: one week). 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 9 Feb 2017.
