Completed · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus Complications, Gastroparesis

In brief

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.

• 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.

• 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.
