Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of patients meeting the diabetic gastroparesis symptom responder criterion in each of the last 6 of the 12 weeks of treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 Weeks ]
    Patients will assess severity of diabetic gastroparesis symptoms daily using an 11-point ordinal scale with 0 being least and 10 being the worst possible score. Patients will enter the score using an electronic diary.

  2. Percentage of patients meeting the vomiting symptom responder criterion in each of the last 6 of the 12 weeks of treatment [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks ]
    Vomiting episodes will be patient-recorded daily using an electronic diary.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Patients Meeting the Nausea Responder Criterion [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]
    A Nausea Responder is defined as an improvement of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for nausea at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Nausea is assessed on an 11-point ordinal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no nausea, and 10 meaning the worst possible nausea.

  2. Percentage of Patients Meeting the Abdominal Pain Responder Criterion [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]
    An Abdominal Pain Responder is defined as an improvement of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for Abdominal Pain at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Abdominal Pain is assessed on an 11-point ordinal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no abdominal Pain, and 10 meaning the worst possible abdominal pain.

  3. Percentage of Patients Meeting the Bloating Responder Criterion [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]
    A Bloating Responder is defined as an improvement of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for bloating at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Bloating is assessed on an 11-point ordinal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no bloating, and 10 meaning the worst possible bloating.

  4. Percentage of Patients Meeting the Postprandial Fullness Responder Criterion [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]
    A Postprandial Fullness Responder is defined as an improvement of at least 2-points in the weekly symptom scores for Postprandial Fullness at each of the last 6 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Period. Postprandial Fullness is assessed on an 11-point ordinal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no feeling of fullness until finishing a meal, and 10 meaning felling full after only a few bites

  5. Number of Patients who experienced one or more Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]
    The number of patients who experienced one or more TEAE during the 12 week treatment period.
