ANTERO-4: VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System in an Erythromycin Model
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
It has been demonstrated that the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System (GMS) can discriminate healthy physiological and pharmacologically-inhibited gastric motility, using a codeine-model in healthy adults (S60320 / AFMPS80M0687).
Erythromycin is a gastroprokinetic agent, known to stimulate gastric contractility. A single dose of 200 mg erythromycin has been shown to induce a prolonged period of enhanced phasic contractile activity.
The primary aim of this investigation is to validate the ability of the VIPUN GMS to discriminate between normal and pharmacologically-enhanced fasting gastric motility in healthy adults.
The performance of the VIPUN GMS can be enhanced by data-driven optimization of the VIPUN Motility Algorithm, used to quantify gastric motility.

|---|---|
| Experimental: VIPUN GMS Single arm study. |
Device: VIPUN GMS
Motility is measured for 4 hours with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System (GMS).
Drug: Erythromycin Lactobionate
Test model: Erythromycin has gastroprokinetic properties. The primary aim of this investigation is to validate the ability of the VIPUN GMS to discriminate between normal and pharmacologically-enhanced fasting gastric motility in healthy adults.
Erythromycin Lactobionate infusion: 200 mg i.v. infusion over a period of 20 minutes. Note: Erythromycin is not labeled as a gastroprokinetic agent in Belgium.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- GBMI baseline [t = 0 - 119 minutes]
Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.
- GBMI120 - 139 [t = 120 - 139 minutes]
Motility during erythromycin administration. Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- GBMI140-240 [t = 140 - 240 minutes]
Motility in the period 140 - 240 minutes. Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.
- Symptoms [t = 0 - 240 minutes]
Epigastric symptoms (nausea, bloating, pain) are surveyed with Visual Analogue Scales for severity of each individual symptom (100 mm, 0 = Absent to 100 mm = worst possible sensation) at a 15 minute interval.
- Incidence of adverse events [t = 0 - 240 minutes]
Incidence of adverse events
- Severity of adverse (device) events/effects [t = 0 - 240 minutes]
