ANTERO-4: VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System in an Erythromycin Model

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Gastric Motility
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04066231
Lead Sponsor
Prof Dr Jan Tack
Brief Summary

It has been demonstrated that the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System (GMS) can discriminate healthy physiological and pharmacologically-inhibited gastric motility, using a codeine-model in healthy adults (S60320 / AFMPS80M0687).

Erythromycin is a gastroprokinetic agent, known to stimulate gastric contractility. A single dose of 200 mg erythromycin has been shown to induce a prolonged period of enhanced phasic contractile activity.

The primary aim of this investigation is to validate the ability of the VIPUN GMS to discriminate between normal and pharmacologically-enhanced fasting gastric motility in healthy adults.

The performance of the VIPUN GMS can be enhanced by data-driven optimization of the VIPUN Motility Algorithm, used to quantify gastric motility.

Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.

GBMI120 - 139t = 120 - 139 minutes

Motility during erythromycin administration. Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.
