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 From Baseline to Week 12 in the Weekly Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Score (DGSSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline (14-day Run-in Period of the previous relamorelin study RLM-MD-01 or RLM-MD-02 for rollover participants or Day -14 to Day -1 for new participants) to Week 12 of this study ]
    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 of the previous study or the run-in period of this study for new participants.

  2. Change From Baseline to Week 52 in the Weekly Average DGSSS [ Time Frame: Baseline (14-day Run-in Period of the previous relamorelin study RLM-MD-01 or RLM-MD-02 for rollover participants or Day -14 to Day -1 for new participants) to Week 52 of this study ]
    Participants assessed the severity of diabetic gastroparesis symptoms daily using the 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). The average weekly scores at Week 52 were the average of the DGSSS scores from Week 49 to Week 52. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the run-in period of the previous study or the run-in period of this study for new participants.

  3. Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) [ Time Frame: First dose of study drug to within 30 days of the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 56 weeks) ]
    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.

  4. Number of Participants With Potential Clinically Significant (PCS) Clinical Laboratory Results [ Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks ]
    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 participant had a non-PCS value at Baseline and met the PCS criterion at least once during postbaseline are reported.

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Trends for Vital Signs [ Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks ]
    Vital Signs included assessments of heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body temperature. The investigator determined if the abnormal results were clinically significant.

  6. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Results [ Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks ]
    A standard 12-lead ECG was performed. The investigator determined if the abnormal results were clinically significant.

  7. Number of Participants With a ≥1% Increase in Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks ]
  8. Number of Participants With Anti-relamorelin Antibody Testing Results by Visit [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1), Day 84, Day 364, and End of Treatment (Up to Day 364) ]
    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.

    •In the lead-in studies, participants must have met all screening visit and Run-in Period criteria for randomization into the Treatment Period (including compliance with dosing, entry of diary data into the Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Diary (DGSSD)) except that:

    • They had zero vomiting episodes and an average daily Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Score (DGSSS) of ≥12 at the end of the lead-in study Run-in Period, as reported using the electronic hand-held device; OR
    • They had vomiting episodes and an average daily DGSSS of ≥12 but <16 at the end of the lead-in study Run-in Period, as reported using the electronic hand-held device
