ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Delayed gastric emptying and upper gastrointestinal symptoms occur frequently in patients with diabetes mellitus.AIM:
To evaluate the effects of fedotozine on gastric emptying and gastrointestinal symptoms in diabetic gastroparesis.METHODS:
Thirty-one diabetic patients (20 type 1, 11 type 2) with gastroparesis were randomized to receive fedotozine (30 mg as the tartrate) or placebo t.d.s. Measurements of gastric emptying (100 g ground beef labelled with 20 MBq 99mTc-sulphur colloid chicken liver and 150 mL 10% dextrose labelled with 10 MBq 113mIn-DTPA) and gastrointestinal symptoms were performed before and after 12-16 days of treatment. Data are the mean +/- s.d.RESULTS:
Of the 31 patients enrolled, two were excluded from analysis. Data from the remaining 29 patients (18 type 1, 11 type 2; 22 female, seven male), aged 42.7 +/- 11.1 years (of whom 14 were randomized to fedotozine and 15 to placebo), were analysed. Fedotozine had no effect on either gastric emptying (solid retention at 100 min; fedotozine baseline, 84 +/- 15%; treatment, 73 +/- 23% vs. placebo baseline, 83 +/- 10%; treatment, 70 +/- 20%) or liquid 50% emptying time (fedotozine baseline, 59 +/- 32 min; treatment, 58 +/- 38 min vs. placebo baseline, 44 +/- 9 min; treatment, 43 +/- 21 min) or gastrointestinal symptoms (fedotozine baseline, 4.4 +/- 2.9; treatment, 4.1 +/- 3.9 vs. placebo baseline, 4.9 +/- 4.2; treatment, 4.8 +/- 3.9).CONCLUSIONS:
Fedotozine has no effect on gastric emptying in patients with diabetic gastroparesis.
