Gastroparesis Trial Phases
9 research organizations are sponsoring gastroparesis trials.
About Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is a condition that affects the normal movement of muscles in the stomach, causing delayed gastric emptying. It is commonly associated with diabetes. Treatment includes dietary modifications, medications to stimulate stomach motility, and in severe cases, gastric electrical stimulation.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for gastroparesis. Currently, 15 studies are recruiting a combined 4,382 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 9 organizations including University of Louisville, Indiana University, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and 6 others.

Gastroparesis Outcome Longitudinal Database Enrolled Numerically
GOLDEN is a longitudinal database of patients with the symptoms (Sx) of gastroparesis (Gp) who were seen and recorded at the University of Louisville from 2012 and is ongoing. Patients are enrolled and followed by sequential numbers and may include legacy patients seen at other centers by some of the same team and who are reported as part of the series. Outcome relate to patients Sx, survival, qua...
GI Neuromuscular Pathology Prospective Registry
In this research study, biopsy samples will be collected to provide more insight into the underlying cause of the motility disorders, help direct further investigation into the cause of the underlying condition, provide future prognosis and predict response to gastric electrical stimulation (GES).
Gastroparesis Registry 4
The Gastroparesis Registry 4 (GpR4) is an observational study of patients with symptoms of gastroparesis (Gp) and functional dyspepsia (FD) with either delayed or normal gastric emptying. To better understand these disorders, this registry will capture demographic, clinical, physiological, questionnaire, and patient outcome data to characterize the patients and their clinical course. Participants ...
