Trial summary

Dumping Syndrome consists of (1) a too rapid gastric emptying, (2) an inappropriate release of GI hormones (as a reaction to the hyperosmolar contents in the duodenum) and (3) an hyperinsulinemic response to a too rapid absorption of glucose. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exploratory Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of sc Pasireotide in Patients With Dumping Syndrome

Dumping Syndrome consists of (1) a too rapid gastric emptying, (2) an inappropriate release of GI hormones (as a reaction to the hyperosmolar contents in the duodenum) and (3) an hyperinsulinemic response to a too rapid absorption of glucose. Because it is not well known which somatostatin receptor(s) (sst1-5) influence(s) Dumping Syndrome most, the goal of this trial is to evaluate :

  • the effect of pasireotide (sst1, 2, 3, 5 agonist) on the control of gastric emptying.
  • the effect of pasireotide (sst1, 2, 3, 5 agonist) on the release of GI hormones (during OGTT).
  • the effect of pasireotide (sst1, 2, 3, 5 agonist) on the hyperinsulimic response (during OGTT).
  • the efficacy of pasireotide (sst1, 2, 3, 5 agonist) for control of objective parameters of Dumping Syndrome (hematocrit (Hct), pulse rate and occurrence of hypoglycemia after an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) with 75g of glucose)
  • the efficacy of pasireotide (sst1, 2, 3, 5 agonist) for control of overall symptoms as measured by the combined Dumping Syndrome score
  • the efficacy of pasireotide (sst1, 2, 3, 5 agonist) for control of symptoms as measured by (a) early and (b) late phase dumping symptom score separately
  • the efficacy of pasireotide (sst1, 2, 3, 5 agonist) for control of quality of life (QoL SF-36)
Read the detailed description

This will be a single centre, randomized, double-blind, controlled cross-over study during 35 days.

After a 4 weeks screening period, patients who fulfill the entrance criteria will be randomly assigned on a 1:1 basis to either the pasireotide treatment arm or to the placebo treatment arm. They will be treated with pasireotide sc or placebo sc for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, patients will be switched to the other treatment arm after a 7 days wash out period. This phase is double-blind: both the patient and investigator will be blinded to treatment assignment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary efficacy endpoint: symptoms related to Dumping Syndrome Severity Score

    The dumping score is the sum of the early and late dumping symptoms. Early dumping starts immediately after a meal, within 1 hour (< 1 hour). Late dumping starts later than 1 hour after a meal (≥ 1 hour). In case a symptom starts immediately after a meal and lasts longer than 1 hour, the score for early AND late dumping should be ticked.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pasireotide in people with Postoperative Dumping Syndrome, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 6 inclusion and 15 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 10 Jul 2013. 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 Belgium. 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?

Primary efficacy endpoint: symptoms related to Dumping Syndrome Severity Score (time frame: 2 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 10 Jul 2013.
