Name Time Method To assess the improvement of meal related symptoms in healthy controls and subjects with functional dyspepsia during treatment with Z-338.[subject completes assessments 60 days after commencing treatment.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The influence of the treatment on the regional nutrient distribution (%) of ingested test meal in the proximal and distal stomach.[subject completes assessments 60 days after commencing treatment.];Changes of gastric emptying and the link of regional gastric nutrient distribution/gastric emptying and improvement of meal related symptoms referred to the upper stomach occurs (i.e. pain, nausea, fullness and discomfort) will be analyzed.[subject completes assessments 60 days after commencing treatment.]
