Experimental pill for stomach paralysis shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT04026997
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an oral drug called CIN-102 in 72 adults with gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) caused by diabetes or unknown reasons. Participants received one of three doses of CIN-102 or a placebo to see if it improved stomach emptying and reduced nausea. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
