NCT01571297

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of RM-131 on gastric emptying, gastroparesis symptoms, and the safety and tolerability of RM-131 compared to placebo in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple dose regimens of RM-131. Study drug (RM-131 and placebo) will be administered subcutaneously in a blinded fashion.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Able to provide written informed consent prior to any study procedures and be willing and able to comply with study procedures.
  • Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus with HbA1c ≤11% at screening.
  • Diabetic gastroparesis defined as at least 3 months history of symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis on an ongoing basis.
  • Average Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index Daily Diary (GCSI-DD) \> 2.6 during Visit 2.
  • History of nausea and/or vomiting/emesis at least once a week during the 2 weeks prior to Visit 1.
  • Delayed gastric emptying confirmed at screening by abnormal gastric emptying breath test (GEBT), defined as half-emptying time (t½) \> 79 minutes.
  • Stable concomitant medications defined as no changes in regimen for at least 2 weeks prior to Visit 2.
  • No use of metoclopramide, erythromycin or anti-emetics for at least 2 weeks prior to Visit 2.
  • Body mass index \> 18 kg/m2.
  • Female patients must have negative serum or urine pregnancy tests and must not be lactating. For females able to bear children, a hormonal (i.e., oral, implantable, or injectable) and single-barrier method, or a double-barrier method of birth control must be used throughout the study. Female patients unable to bear children must have this documented in the electronic case report form (eCRF) (i.e., tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or post-menopausal \[defined as a minimum of one year since the last menstrual period\]). Post-menopausal status will be confirmed by FSH.

You may not qualify if:

  • Currently receiving parenteral feeding; presence of a nasogastric or other enteral tube for feeding or decompression.
  • History of gastric surgery such as fundoplication, gastrectomy, gastric pacemaker placement, vagotomy, bariatric procedure.
  • History of pyloric injection of botulinum toxin within 6 months of screening.
  • Persistent daily vomiting.
  • Patients with clinical suspicion of upper gastrointestinal obstruction must have been evaluated per standard of care, and obstruction ruled out before screening.
  • Currently taking opiates.
  • Currently taking GLP-1 and amylin analogs.
  • Allergic or intolerant of egg, wheat, milk or algae, as these are components of the GEBT study meal.
  • History of anorexia nervosa, binge-eating or bulimia within 5 years.
  • ALT or AST \> 2 X upper limit of normal during screening.
  • History of intestinal malabsorption or pancreatic exocrine disease.
  • Requires hemodialysis or has end-stage renal disease.
  • History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • Clinically significant neurologic or psychiatric disorders which are likely to impact compliance with protocol requirements.
  • Poor venous access or inability to tolerate venipuncture.
