A Multicenter, Phase II Study to Evaluate Velusetrag Effects on Gastric Emptying in Subjects With Diabetic or Idiopathic Gastroparesis - Full Text View

Purpose

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, incomplete block, three period fixed sequence crossover, multicenter, placebo-controlled study. The study will assess three oral doses of velusetrag (5 mg, 15 mg, and/or 30 mg) or placebo, administered once daily in three periods of 1-week duration each, with a 1-week washout period between treatment periods, in subjects with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis.

Study 0093 will evaluate the effect of velusetrag in subjects with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis by assessing changes in gastric emptying.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 and 35 kg/m2, inclusive
Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI-2W) composite score ≥2 and ≤4 at Screening
Delayed gastric emptying, defined as a gastric emptying half-time (GE t1/2) > 160 minutes as determined by [13C]-octanoate breath test, at Screening
Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) obstruction ruled out by endoscopy or other imaging reasonably proximal to the diagnosis of gastroparesis

Exclusion Criteria:

Recurrent vomiting, defined as vomiting more than 2 days per week
Hospitalization for treatment of gastroparesis or complications of diabetes within 4 weeks prior to Screening
Presence of thyroid dysfunction not controlled by treatment. Subjects with abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism at Screening
If Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic, a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level >10% or a glucose > 250 mg/dL at Screening
