Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Safety & Efficacy of RM-131 Administered to Patients With Diabetic Gastroparesis

September 21, 2016 updated by: Motus Therapeutics, Inc.

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of RM-131 Administered to Patients With Diabetic Gastroparesis

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.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 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.

  • 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.

Exclusion Criteria:

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect of RM-131 on symptoms of gastroparesis
Time Frame: Baseline, daily for 28 days, and Day 35
