Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Weekly Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Score (DGSSS) of the Treatment Period
Participants assessed the severity of diabetic gastroparesis symptoms daily using the Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Diary (DGSSD), recorded in an electronic diary (e-diary). The DGSSS was derived as the sum of the weekly averages of the 4 DGSSD items: nausea, abdominal pain, postprandial fullness and bloating. Each symptom was scored using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no or not at all uncomfortable to 10=worst possible or most uncomfortable for a total possible DGSSS of 0 (best) to 40 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the run-in period in the previous studies.
Time frame: Baseline (14-day Run-in Period of the previous relamorelin study RLM-MD-01 or RLM-MD-02) to Week 12 of this study
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Vomiting Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the First 12-weeks of the Treatment Period

A Vomiting Responder was defined as a participant with zero weekly vomiting episodes during each of the last 6 weeks of the first 12-weeks of the 40-week Treatment Period.
Time frame: Week 6 to Week 12
Percentage of Participants Meeting the Nausea Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the First 12-weeks of the Treatment Period
A Nausea Responder was defined as a participant with improvement (decrease) of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for nausea at each of the last 6 weeks of the first 12-weeks of the 40-week Treatment Period. Nausea was one of the items of the DGSSD assessed daily and recorded in the e-diary by the participant using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no nausea to 10=worst possible nausea. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the run-in period in the previous studies.
Time frame: Baseline (14-day Run-in Period of the previous relamorelin study RLM-MD-01 or RLM-MD-02) to (Week 6 to Week 12)

Bloating was one of the items of the DGSSD assessed daily and recorded by the participant in the e-diary using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no bloating and 10=the worst possible bloating and was recorded in the e-diary. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the run-in period in the previous studies.

Percentage of Participants Meeting the Postprandial Fullness Responder Criterion During Each of the Last 6 Weeks of the First 12-weeks of the Treatment Period
A Postprandial Fullness Responder was defined as a participant with an improvement (decrease) of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for Postprandial Fullness at each of the last 6 weeks of the first 12-weeks of the 40-week Treatment Period. Postprandial Fullness was one of the items of the DGSSD assessed daily and recorded by the participant in the e-diary using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no feeling of fullness until finishing a meal (best) to 10=feeling full after only a few bites (worst). Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the run-in period in the previous studies.
Time frame: Baseline (14-day Run-in Period of the previous relamorelin study RLM-MD-01 or RLM-MD-02) to (Week 6 to Week 12)
Change From Baseline to Week 40 in the Average Weekly DGSSS of the Treatment Period
Participants assessed the severity of diabetic gastroparesis symptoms daily using the DGSSD, recorded in an e-diary. The DGSSS was derived as the sum of the weekly averages (Week 37 to Week 40) of the 4 DGSSD items: nausea, abdominal pain, postprandial fullness and bloating. Each symptom was scored using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no or not at all uncomfortable to 10=worst possible or most uncomfortable for a total possible DGSSS of 0 (best) to 40 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the run-in period of the previous studies.

Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. A TEAE is an AE that begins or worsens after receiving study drug.
Time frame: First dose of study drug to within 30 days of the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 50 weeks)
Number of Participants With Potential Clinically Significant (PCS) Clinical Laboratory Results
Clinical Laboratory values included Hematology, Chemistry and Urinalysis tests. The investigator determined if the results were clinically significant. Only those categories where at least 1 person had a non-PCS value at Baseline and met the PCS criterion at least once during postbaseline are reported.
Time frame: Up to 46 weeks
Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Trends for Vital Signs
Vital Signs included assessments of heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body temperature. The investigator determined if the results were clinically significant.
Time frame: Up to 46 weeks
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Results
A standard 12-lead ECG was performed. The investigator determined if the abnormal results were clinically significant.
Time frame: Up to 46 weeks
Number of Participants With a ≥1% Increase in Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HBA1c)
Time frame: Up to 46 weeks
Number of Participants With Anti-relamorelin Antibody Testing Results
A blood sample was collected that was sent to a laboratory for an anti-relamorelin antibody screening test. A positive screening test was confirmed by an immunodepletion assay.
