Granisetron transdermal system (GTS; Sancuso®), a patch delivering a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, has been shown to improve nausea and vomiting in gastroparesis. Recent FDA guidance on gastroparesis suggests daily scoring of symptoms to show efficacy. Aim: Determine the efficacy and onset of therapeutic response of GTS in improving specific symptoms and overall symptoms of gastroparesis in patients with gastroparesis using a daily symptom diary for gastroparesis. Methods: Symptomatic patients with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis with nausea and/or vomiting were enrolled. Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index Daily Diary (GCSI-DD) captured severity of symptoms at baseline for one week and during two weeks of treatment with GTS. Key Results: 14 patients (age 41.5±17 years; 13 females) with refractory gastroparesis (5 idiopathic, 9 diabetic) participated in this open label study. Nausea, early satiety, postprandial fullness, abdominal pain, GCSI-DD composite score, and overall symptom severity significantly improved (p<0.05) during treatment when compared to the baseline week. Nausea significantly decreased on day 5 (p<0.01) of treatment. Episodes of vomiting did not significantly change. Side effects included pruritus (2 patients) and redness (1) at the patch site, headache (1), constipation (1), and poor patch adherence (5). Conclusions & Inferences: GTS significantly reduced nausea severity in patients with gastroparesis. There were also significant improvements in early satiety, postprandial fullness, and abdominal pain. Nausea improvement occurred on the fifth day of treatment. Thus, GTS has therapeutic effect on nausea, as well as other gastroparesis symptoms, in patients with gastroparesis as captured using a daily diary for gastroparesis.

AbstractBackground and AimsThere is a high unmet need for the treatment of gastroparesis and studies of NK1-R antagonists suggest potential benefit in reducing the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. We hypothesized that tradipitant, an NK1-R antagonist, would be effective in treating patients with idiopathic or diabetic gastroparesis.MethodsIn a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study across 47 U.S. sites, 152 gastroparesis patients were randomized to receive oral 85mg BID tradipitant (n=77) or placebo (n=75) daily for four weeks. Symptoms were assessed using a daily symptom dairy, Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI), and other patient reported questionnaires.ResultsPatients receiving tradipitant had a significant decrease in nausea score at Week 4 compared to placebo (−1.2 improvement vs −0.7, respectively, p=0.0099), and a significant increase in nausea-free days (28.8% increase on tradipitant vs 15.0% on placebo p=0.0160). Patients with both nausea and vomiting at baseline (n=101) showed an even greater decrease in nausea score (−1.4 improvement on tradipitant vs −0.4 on placebo p<0.0001) and an increase in nausea free days (32.3% improvement on tradipitant vs 7.6% on placebo p=0.0003). 32.9% of patients treated with tradipitant were nausea responders (average nausea score ≤ 1 at week 4) compared to 11.8% of patients on placebo (p=0.0013). 46.6% of patients treated with tradipitant had a greater than 1-point improvement in GCSI score compared to 23.5% of patients on placebo (p=0.0053).ConclusionsTradipitant treatment resulted in statistically and clinically meaningful improvements in nausea and overall gastroparesis symptoms. These robust efficacy results suggest tradipitant has the potential to become a useful pharmacological treatment for gastroparesis.

Abstract Background and study aims There are no reliable data to predict which patients with gastroparesis (GP) would benefit the most from gastric peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM). The aim of the present study was to assess whether antro-duodenal motility patterns and pyloric distensibility can predict the outcome of G-POEM in patients with decompensated GP. Patients and methods In an open-label study, patients with GP and refractory symptoms were eligible for treatment with G-POEM if treatment attempts according to a standardized stepwise protocol had failed. Baseline assessment included Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI), C13-octanoic gastric emptying breath test and high-resolution antro-duodenal manometry. Pyloric distensibility using EndoFlip measurements was assessed at baseline and 3 months after the procedure. Explorative analyses were performed on potential predictors of response using logistic regression analyses. Results Twenty-four patients with decompensated GP underwent G-POEM. At baseline, 78.3 % and 61.9 % of patients showed antral hypomotility and neuropathic motor patterns, respectively. The technical success rate was 100 % (24/24). Mean GCSI improved significantly at 3, 6, and 12 months after G-POEM (P = 0.01). Median distensibility index (DI) improved significantly as compared with baseline (7.5 [6.9;11.7] vs. 5.3[3.1;8.1], P = 0.004). A significant correlation was found between clinical response at 6 months and pyloric DI improvement (P = 0.003). No potential predictors of clinical response after G-POEM could be identified in an explorative analysis. Conclusions G-POEM improved pyloric distensibility patterns in patients with decompensated GP. Clinical response at 6 months after G-POEM was associated with pyloric distensibility improvement. However, no potential predictors of response could be identified from either antro-duodenal motility patterns or pyloric distensibility.
