Could growth hormone ease stubborn stomach paralysis?
NCT ID NCT06803589
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests whether a weekly shot of low-dose growth hormone can improve symptoms like nausea, fullness, and belly pain in people with gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) that hasn't responded to standard treatments. Ten adults will receive the drug for 12 weeks, and researchers will track symptom changes using a standard questionnaire. Because this is a very small, early-phase trial, the main goal is to see if the approach is worth studying further.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
growth hormone (somapacitan-beco, Sogroya)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to manage stubborn gastroparesis symptoms without major side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, tiny trial with only 10 people, so results may not apply widely. Growth hormone can have risks like joint pain or fluid retention, and it is not a cure.
