Brief Summary:
To assess if oral nizatidine or lisinopril alone and in combination will increase heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) protein concentration and activity compared to placebo in healthy subjects.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Gastroparesis Drug: Nizatidine Drug: Lisinopril Drug: Placebo Phase 1

Detailed Description:
Current therapeutic options for gastroparesis are limited to dietary modifications and pharmacological (i.e., prokinetic and symptomatic) agents. Exciting and novel preliminary data from our programs demonstrate that (i) reduced expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is responsible for loss of interstitial cells of Cajal and delayed gastric emptying in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, (ii) upregulation of (HO-1) reverses delayed gastric emptying in this model, perhaps by generating carbon monoxide (CO), which has anti-apoptotic and cytoprotective actions, and may relax smooth muscle, and (iii) hemin upregulates HO-1 in humans. However, hemin is exorbitant and can only be administered intravenously. A large throughput screening assay uncovered that the histamine H2 receptor antagonist nizatidine and the ACE inhibitor lisinopril upregulate HO-1 in Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) cells. Hence, this double-blind placebo-controlled study will randomly assign 24 healthy subjects to one of 4 arms, and HO-1 protein activity and concentration will be assessed.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in plasma heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) protein concentration [ Time Frame: Day 3, Day 10 ]
    Heme oxygenase (HO-1) degrades heme and protects against oxidative stress. HO-1 concentration was measured by a blood test; the units are ng/ml.

  2. Change in Monocyte HO-1 activity [ Time Frame: Day 3, Day 10 ]
    Heme oxygenase (HO-1) degrades heme and protects against oxidative stress. When HO-1 is induced, more heme is removed, and end products of heme metabolism (i.e., carbon monoxide, iron, and bilirubin) are generated. HO-1 activity was measured by a blood test, the units are pmol bilirubin/mg/h.
