  Purpose

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, incomplete block, three period fixed sequence crossover, multicenter, placebo-controlled study. The study will assess three oral doses of velusetrag (5 mg, 15 mg, and/or 30 mg) or placebo, administered once daily in three periods of 1-week duration each, with a 1-week washout period between treatment periods, in subjects with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis.

Study 0093 will evaluate the effect of velusetrag in subjects with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis by assessing changes in gastric emptying.
