Development of MRI Protocols to Assess Gastrointestinal Motility With Concomitant Perfused Manometry Validation in Healthy Volunteers

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The gastrointestinal (GI) environment where drug products dissolve has not been studied in detail due to limitations, especially invasiveness of existing techniques. Hence little in vivo data on GI fluids and motility is available to improve relevance of predictive dissolution models and bench dissolution techniques. Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods could provide novel data and insights. On-going studies at the University of Michigan and at the University of Nottingham, using advanced, validated, quantitative MRI techniques have already shown that GI fluid (water) volumes can be measured. The classical method for measuring GI motility is via a manometric method involving intubation, but it is possible to measure GI motility with MRI. Based on our MRI motility pilot data and on the literature available, this study aims to test the main hypotheses that in healthy adult participants the new MRI method has the potential to replace current manometric study protocols and will allow a simultaneous measurement of gastrointestinal motility and fluid volumes in the gut during the fasted state. This will establish a solid and unprecedented base of in vivo results upon which to base advances in oral pharmaceutical product science. For this initial study, the study objectives are therefore: 1. To validate the MRI motility method with concomitant perfused manometry method in healthy adult participants. 2. To measure exploratory endpoints of interest including GI fluid volumes. Twenty one adult healthy volunteers will participate in this replicated study. We will pass a thin perfused manometry tube via the nose into the gut of the participants and then take MRI images of abdominal areas while bowel motility is being measured via a tube manometric method to see how they compare. We will be able also to measure the volume of fluids in the gut.

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.

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Healthy participants
A group of 21 healthy adult participants studied twice (test-retest)

We will carry out serial cine MRI of the bowel. At the same time we will record perfused manometry readings of the bowel in healthy adult participants.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Stomach MRI motility
Time Frame: Over set time bins and recorded for up to 4 hours
Area under the curve (AUC) of the stomach motility contractions (in mm×second) measured by MRI.
Over set time bins and recorded for up to 4 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Stomach perfused manometry motility

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
