Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To demonstrate the correlation between the gastric residence time as determined by SmartPill GI Monitoring System and the gastric emptying time of a radiolabeled meal in both healthy subjects and patients with documented gastroparesis.

    30 minute intervals up to 6 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • To demonstrate that the gastric residence time as determined by SmartPill GI Monitoring System can discriminate between healthy human subjects and patients with gastroparesis

    Continuous time measure until capsule elimination

  • To characterize pressure patterns within the antrum and duodenum in healthy subjects and patients with documented gastroparesis

    Continuous time measure until capsule elimination

  • To characterize total GI transit time in healthy subjects

    Continuous tume measure until capsule elimination

Study Arms (2)

Normal

healthy adult subjects with no history or current gastrointestinal disorders or conditions

Gastroparesis

Subjects with documented gastroparesis
