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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
CIN-102 (oral drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, CIN-102 could offer a new treatment option to improve stomach emptying and reduce nausea in people with gastroparesis.
What could go wrong
This was a small, early-phase trial that was terminated, so results are limited. It is unclear if CIN-102 is effective or safe long-term.
