Trial summary

The purpose of this research is to further study the relationship between gastroparesis (GP) (a condition in which the stomach cannot empty itself of food in a normal fashion) and functional dyspepsia (FD) (frequent symptoms of indigestion that have no obvious cause). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Longitudinal Evaluation of Gastric Emptying and Accommodation in Children With Dyspepsia: Toward Individualized Care in Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders

The purpose of this research is to further study the relationship between gastroparesis (GP) (a condition in which the stomach cannot empty itself of food in a normal fashion) and functional dyspepsia (FD) (frequent symptoms of indigestion that have no obvious cause).

Being tested
Gastric emptying breath test, Stomach ultrasound
Medical subject headings
Gastroparesis, Dyspepsia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Gastric emptying breath testOther

    The gastric emptying breath test is used to diagnose gastroparesis. Participants ingest spirulina in a meal and samples are taken every 45 minutes for 4 hours.

  • Stomach ultrasoundOther

    Ultrasound of the fundus of the stomach will be done immediately after ingestion of the test meal, at 15 minutes, and at 30 minutes.

Study groups in NCT05055336
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GastroparesisExperimentalParticipants in this group are children diagnosed with gastroparesis per gastric emptying scintigraphy. Participants will be receiving a gastric emptying breath test three times over the course of 6 months and an ultrasound of the stomach once.
Receives: Other: Gastric emptying breath test; Other: Stomach ultrasound
DyspepsiaExperimentalParticipants in this group are children diagnosed with functional dyspepsia per gastric emptying scintigraphy. Participants will be receiving a gastric emptying breath test three times over the course of 6 months and an ultrasound of the stomach once.
Receives: Other: Gastric emptying breath test; Other: Stomach ultrasound
Healthy ControlsExperimentalParticipants in this group are children that do not have gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, or any other gastroenterology condition. Participants will be getting an ultrasound once.
Receives: Other: Stomach ultrasound

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastric emptying rate

    As measured by the spirulina breath test

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of food retained in the stomach

    Fundic accommodation will be reported as the percentage of food retained in the fundus using an ultrasound before and after meal ingestion.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Pediatric Cardinal Symptoms Questionnaire Scores

    The pediatric symptoms questionnaires has a total score ranging from 0-600. Higher score means worse symptoms.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gastric emptying breath test and Stomach ultrasound in people with Gastroparesis and Dyspepsia, run by University of Miami.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2022. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 rate (time frame: up to 6 months). 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 Oct 2022.
