Summary

To provide oral domperidone to patients between the ages of 18 and 60 years of age, according to the investigator's judgment, a prokinetic effect is needed for the relief of severe gastroparesis. We have defined severe gastroparesis as 1) positive gastric emptying scintigraphy (more than 10% residue at 4 hours), 2) nausea, 3) early satiety, 4) abdominal pain. We will recruit patients for two years and the patients will be given domperidone for up to two years.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Age 18 - 60
  • Symptoms or manifestation secondary to gastroparesis such as vomiting, nausea, the feeling you are full after you start eating, and abdominal pain.
  • Subjects must have a comprehensive evaluation to eliminate other causes of their symptoms which includes gastric emptying scintigraphy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and the patient's subjective symptoms.
  • Subject has signed informed consent for the administration of domperidone that informs the patient of potential adverse events
  • Female subjects must be:
  • surgically sterile (have had a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation)
