Official title: A 12-week, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Relamorelin in Patients With Diabetic Gastroparesis
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of relamorelin compared to placebo in participants with diabetic gastroparesis. Participants will report daily severity scores of their diabetic gastroparesis symptoms.
- Conditions
- Gastroparesis, Diabetes Mellitus
- Being tested
- Placebo, Relamorelin
- Medical subject headings
- Gastroparesis, Diabetes Mellitus
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PlaceboDrug
Placebo injected subcutaneously twice daily.
RelamorelinDrug
Relamorelin 10 micrograms (μg) injected subcutaneously twice daily.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Following a 2-week placebo run-in, participants received placebo-matching relamorelin injected subcutaneously twice daily for up to 12 weeks. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
| Relamorelin 10 μg | Experimental | Following a 2-week placebo run-in, participants received relamorelin 10 μg injected subcutaneously twice daily for up to 12 weeks. Receives: Drug: Relamorelin |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Weekly Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Score (DGSSS)
Participants assessed the severity of diabetic gastroparesis symptoms daily using the Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Diary (DGSSD), recorded in an electronic diary (e-diary). The DGSSS was derived as the sum of the weekly averages of the 4 DGSSD items: nausea, abdominal pain, postprandial fullness and bloating. Each symptom was scored using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no or not at all uncomfortable to 10=worst possible or most uncomfortable for a total possible DGSSS of 0 (best) to 40 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the Run-in Period.
Measured: Baseline (Day-14 to Day-1) to Week 12
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Vomiting Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period
The number of vomiting episodes in the previous 24 hours were assessed daily by the participant using the DGSSD and were recorded in the e-diary. A Vomiting Responder was defined as a participant with zero weekly vomiting episodes during each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period.
Measured: Week 6 to Week 12
Secondary outcomes (10)
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Nausea Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period
A Nausea Responder was defined as a participant with improvement (decrease) of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for nausea at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Nausea was one of the items of the DGSSD assessed daily and recorded in the e-diary by the participant using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no nausea to 10=worst possible nausea.
Measured: Baseline (Day-14 to Day-1) to (Week 6 to Week 12)
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Abdominal Pain Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period
An Abdominal Pain Responder was defined as a participant with an improvement (decrease) of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for abdominal pain at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Abdominal pain was one of the items of the DGSSD assessed daily and recorded in the e-diary by the participant using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no abdominal pain to 10=the worst possible abdominal pain and was recorded in an e-diary.
Measured: Baseline (Day-14 to Day-1) to (Week 6 to Week 12)
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Bloating Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period
A Bloating Responder was defined as a participant with an improvement (decrease) of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for bloating at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Bloating was one of the items of the DGSSD assessed daily and recorded by the participant in the e-diary using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no bloating and 10=the worst possible bloating and was recorded in the e-diary.
Measured: Baseline (Day-14 to Day-1) to (Week 6 to Week 12)
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Postprandial Fullness Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period
A Postprandial Fullness Responder was defined as a participant with an improvement (decrease) of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for Postprandial Fullness at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Postprandial Fullness was one of the items of the DGSSD assessed daily and recorded by the participant in the e-diary using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no feeling of fullness until finishing a meal (best) to 10=feeling full after only a few bites (worst).
Measured: Baseline (Day-14 to Day-1) to (Week 6 to Week 12)
Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. A TEAE is an AE that begins or worsens after receiving study drug.
Measured: Up to approximately 16 weeks
Number of Participants With Potential Clinically Significant (PCS) Clinical Laboratory Results
Clinical Laboratory tests included Hematology, Chemistry and Urinalysis tests. The investigator determined if the results were clinically significant. Only those categories where at least 1 person had a non-PCS value at Baseline and met the PCS criterion at least once during postbaseline are reported.
Measured: Up to 12 weeks
Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Trends for Vital Signs
Vital Signs included assessments of heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body temperature. The investigator determined if the results were clinically significant.
Measured: Up to 12 weeks
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Results
A standard 12-lead ECG was performed. The investigator determined if the abnormal results were clinically significant.
Measured: Up to 12 weeks
Number of Participants With a ≥1% Increase in Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HBA1c)
HbA1c is also known as glycosylated hemoglobin. It is the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percentage of the absolute maximum that can be bound.
Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to 12 weeks
Number of Participants With Anti-relamorelin Antibody Testing Results by Visit
A blood sample was collected that was sent to a laboratory for an anti-relamorelin antibody screening test. A positive screening test was confirmed by an immunodepletion assay. The number of participants in each of the following categories are reported: Negative Screening Test, Positive Screening Test, Negative Confirmatory Test, and Positive Confirmatory Test at each time point.
Measured: Baseline (Day 1), Day 14, Day 28, Day 84, and End of Treatment (Up to Day 84)

Primary outcome
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Weekly Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Score (DGSSS)
Time frame: Baseline (Day-14 to Day-1) to Week 12
Participants assessed the severity of diabetic gastroparesis symptoms daily using the Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Diary (DGSSD), recorded in an electronic diary (e-diary). The DGSSS was derived as the sum of the weekly averages of the 4 DGSSD items: nausea, abdominal pain, postprandial fullness and bloating. Each symptom was scored using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no or not at all uncomfortable to 10=worst possible or most uncomfortable for a total possible DGSSS of 0 (best) to 40 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the Run-in Period.
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Vomiting Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period
Time frame: Week 6 to Week 12
The number of vomiting episodes in the previous 24 hours were assessed daily by the participant using the DGSSD and were recorded in the e-diary. A Vomiting Responder was defined as a participant with zero weekly vomiting episodes during each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jul 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Weekly Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Score (DGSSS) (time frame: Baseline (Day-14 to Day-1) to Week 12). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03285308, 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?
