It has been demonstrated that the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System (GMS) can discriminate healthy physiological and pharmacologically-inhibited gastric motility, using a codeine-model in healthy adults (S60320 / AFMPS80M0687). Erythromycin is a gastroprokinetic agent, known to stimulate gastric contractility. A single dose of 200 mg erythromycin has been shown to induce a prolonged period of enhanced phasic contractile activity. The primary aim of this investigation is to validate the ability of the VIPUN GMS to discriminate between normal and pharmacologically-enhanced fasting gastric motility in healthy adults. The performance of the VIPUN GMS can be enhanced by data-driven optimization of the VIPUN Motility Algorithm, used to quantify gastric motility.

Motility is measured for 4 hours with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System (GMS).
Test model: Erythromycin has gastroprokinetic properties. The primary aim of this investigation is to validate the ability of the VIPUN GMS to discriminate between normal and pharmacologically-enhanced fasting gastric motility in healthy adults. Erythromycin Lactobionate infusion: 200 mg i.v. infusion over a period of 20 minutes. Note: Erythromycin is not labeled as a gastroprokinetic agent in Belgium.

GBMI baseline
Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.
Time frame: t = 0 - 119 minutes
GBMI120 - 139
Motility during erythromycin administration. Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.
Time frame: t = 120 - 139 minutes
GBMI140-240
Motility in the period 140 - 240 minutes. Gastric Balloon Motility Index (GBMI) is measured with the VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System. GBMI is a value between 0 and 1.
Time frame: t = 140 - 240 minutes
Symptoms
Epigastric symptoms (nausea, bloating, pain) are surveyed with Visual Analogue Scales for severity of each individual symptom (100 mm, 0 = Absent to 100 mm = worst possible sensation) at a 15 minute interval.
