    Effect of Exenatide in Obese Patients With Accelerated Gastric Emptying

    NCT02160990

    Jun 2014 to Mar 2015

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The overall goal of this study was to determine the effect of exenatide on gastric emptying, satiety and satiation in obese participants. The hypothesis in this study was that exenatide retards gastric emptying in obese patients with baseline accelerated gastric emptying.

Interventions

  • ExenatideDrug
  • PlaceboDrug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Exenatide

    Participants randomized to this arm received 5 mcg exenatide subcutaneously twice daily for 30 days.

  • Placebo comparator

    Placebo

    Participants randomized to this arm received placebo subcutaneously twice daily for 30 days.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Gastric Emptying Half-time (T 1/2) of Solids

    Time frame · time frame is 30 days after the initiation of dose.

    Registry description

    Gastric emptying of solids half-time is defined as the time for half of the ingested solids to leave the stomach. Subjects were given a scrambled egg breakfast with toast and a glass of milk. The eggs contained a small amount of a radioactive substance. Anterior and posterior gamma camera images were obtain immediately after radiolabeled meal ingestion, every 15 minutes for the first 2 hours, then 30 minutes for the next 2 hours (total 4 hours after the radiolabeled meal).

Secondary outcomes(6)
  1. Percentage of Gastric Contents Emptied at 1 Hour

    Time frame · Visit 4, approximately 1 hours after radiolabeled meal was ingested

    Registry description

    Subjects were given a scrambled egg breakfast with toast and a glass of milk. The eggs contained a small amount of a radioactive substance. At the completion of the meal, subjects stood in front of a special camera and pictures were taken at specific intervals. This outcome measure is the proportion of the radiolabeled meal emptied at 1 hour.

  2. Change in Body Weight

    Time frame · baseline, day 30

  3. Satiation Expressed as Volume to Fullness

    Time frame · Visit 3, approximately 30 minutes after liquid meal

    Registry description

    In the last 5 days of medication administration, subjects did a satiation/nutrient drink test. Participants recorded their sensations every 5 minutes using a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0-5, with level 0 being no symptoms, level 3 corresponding to fullness sensation after a typical meal, and level 5 corresponding to the maximal tolerated volume (maximum or unbearable fullness/satiation). This measure was the volume consumed when the fullness sensation reached level 3.

  4. Maximum Tolerated Volume

    Time frame · Visit 3, approximately 30 minutes after liquid meal

    Registry description

    In the last 5 days of medication administration, subjects did a satiation/nutrient drink test. Participants recorded their sensations every 5 minutes using a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0-5, with level 0 being no symptoms, level 3 corresponding to fullness sensation after a typical meal, and level 5 corresponding to the maximal tolerated volume (maximum or unbearable fullness/satiation). This measure was the volume consumed when the fullness sensation reached level 5.

  5. Buffet Meal Intake (kcal)

    Time frame · Visit 4, approximately 30 minutes after start of "all you can eat" meal

    Registry description

    Five hours after the standard egg meal ingested to measure gastric emptying, subjects were invited to eat, over a 30 minute period, a standard "all you can eat" meal. This meal consisted of either meat or vegetable lasagna, vanilla pudding, and skim milk. Personnel from the study team weighed the food servings post-meal and reported the amount of food left from single portions partially consumed. The total kcal of the food consumed was analyzed by using validated software.

  6. Aggregate Satiation Symptom Score

    Time frame · Visit 3, approximately 30 min after ingestion of nutrient drink test

    Registry description

    Postprandial fullness, nausea, bloating, and pain were measured 30 minutes after the liquid meal using 100 mm horizontal visual analog scales (VAS). The subscale scores could each range from "none"(0) to "worst ever" (100) at the left and right ends of the lines for each symptom. These satiation symptom scores (postprandial fullness, nausea, bloating, and pain) were combined to generate a total scale score with a different total scale range (0 - 400 mm) with 0 mm indicating "none" and 400 indicating "worst ever."
