Healthy, Motility Disorder, Gastric Emptying

Brief summary

The primary aim of this investigation is to assess the safety, feasibility and performance of the VIPUN Balloon Catheter 0.1 in the assessment of gastric motility. The investigation will also assess whether the inflation of the VIPUN Balloon Catheter can stimulate gastric motility and emptying. Furthermore, this investigation will examine whether gastric motility and emptying as measured in this study are correlated.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety: Incidence, frequency, severity, seriousness and relatedness of AEs during the 8 hour visit.8 hoursIncidence, frequency, severity, seriousness and relatedness of AEs
Feasibility: Success rate in completing the procedure (placement and removal VIPUN Balloon Catheter) during the 8 hour visit.8 hoursSuccess rate in completing the procedure (placement and removal VIPUN Balloon Catheter)
Performance: Motility index (MI) decrease after codeine treatment vs. placebo treatment (inflated balloon) during the 8 hour visit.8 hoursMotility index (MI) decrease after codeine treatment vs. placebo treatment (inflated balloon)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in gastric emptying: placebo vs. codeine and deflated vs. inflated balloon8 hoursTo explore whether the VIPUN Balloon Catheter 0.1 can influence gastric motility and/or emptying.
Correlation motility index change and gastric emptying time change: placebo vs. codeine (inflated balloon)8 hoursTo explore whether there is a correlation between gastric motility and emptying.
