Study acronym | BIG study |
Study objectives | Several open-label pilot studies have shown a promising effect of intrapyloric botulinum toxin injection on symptoms in severe gastroparesis. However, data from randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are not yet available. We intend to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a single intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin type A in patients with idiopathic gastroparesis. |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Idiopathic gastroparesis |
Intervention | Intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin type A 200 IU single injection or placebo single injection. Scintigraphy for solid/liquid gastric emptying (before and after treatment). Gastroparesis cardinal symptom index questionnaire Quality of life (QOL) questionnaires Psychometric assessment and patient perception questionnaires |
Intervention type | Drug |
Pharmaceutical study type(s) | |
Phase | Not Specified |
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Botulinum toxin |
Primary outcome measure | Gastric emptying for solids. 1. Half-emptying time at visit 4 (follow-up: week 6) compared to visit 1b (eligibility: week 1) 2. Emptying rate per hour at visit 4 (follow-up: week 6) compared to visit 1b (eligibility: week 1) 3. One, two and four hour meal retention at visit 4 (follow-up: week 6) compared to visit 1b (eligibility week 1). Gastroparesis cardinal symptom index (GCSI) outcome 4. Total GCSI score at visit 3, 4, 5 and 6 (follow-up: week 3, 6, 9 and 12) compared to visit 2 (randomization: week 0) 5. Mean GCSI score during follow-up (week 0-12) compared to mean GCSI score during eligibility and randomization (week 10) |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Gastric emptying for liquids; retention of liquid phase at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 min 2. Quality of life as measured with the patient assessment of upper gastrointestinal disorders - quality of life (PAGI-QoL), the RAND-36 and EQ-5D questionnaires 3. Psychometric assessment and patient perception of gastrointestinal endoscopy |

Key inclusion criteria | Patients are eligible to participate in this study if all of the following criteria are met: 1. Presence of clinical symptoms associated with idiopathic gastroparesis: nausea, vomiting, early satiety, postprandial fullness and a Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) score ≥1 at visit 1b (eligibility; week 1) 2. Delayed gastric emptying for solids at visit 1b (eligibility; week 1) as measured with scintigraphy: a. 2h retention ≥60%; and/or b. 4h retention ≥10% 3. Absence of an obstructing structural lesion in the stomach or small intestine at prior diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy (performed within the previous 5 years) or judged absent by the responsible physician 4. Patients, both male and female, must use adequate means of birth control during the study 5. Patients must provide written informed consent prior to any study procedures being performed 6. Patients aged between 18 and 70 years inclusive 7. Patients, in the opinion of the investigator, must be able to understand the study and comply with the study requirements |
Key exclusion criteria | Patients are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria are met: 1. Patients with predominant abdominal pain/discomfort in the opinion of the investigator 2. Presence of an obstructing structural lesion in the stomach or small intestine if observed during treatment gastrointestinal endoscopy (visit 2, randomization; week 0) 3. Patients taking drugs that interfere with the effect of botulinum toxin type A 4. Patients previously treated with intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin type A; 5. Females who are pregnant or lactating 6. Patients with diabetes mellitus 7. Patients with delayed gastric emptying due to systemic disorders, e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), sclerodermia, hypothyroidism 8. Patients with disorders of neuromuscular transmission, e.g. myasthenia gravis and Eaton-Lambert syndrome 9. Patients with abdominal surgery in their medical history, except (laparoscopic) appendectomy, (laparoscopic) cholecystectomy and/or hysterectomy 10. Patients with any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the patient unsuitable for entry into the study |
