Primary outcomes4

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Cholecystokinin serum level

    Time frame · fasting- state, then at time points 30, 60 and 120 minutes post-meal

  2. Oxytocin serum bioassay

    Time frame · fasting-state, and then at time points of 30, 60 and 120 minutes post-meal

  3. Gastric Emptying time

    Time frame · calculated at time points 0.5, 1,2,3 and 4 hours post-meal

  4. Perception of fullness using visual analog scales

    Time frame · fasting-state, and then at time points of every half hour post-meal through completion of the scan

Secondary outcomes(1)
  1. Mini International Neuro-psychiatric Interview (MINI)

    Time frame · once within 30 days of the scan
