Brief Summary

To determine the efficacy of open -label transdermal patch on chronic nausea and emesis in patients with gastroparesis

Detailed Description

Gastroparesis is a chronic syndrome associated with a delay in stomach emptying. The clinical presentation of gastroparesis is very heterogeneous but can generally categorized into emesis-predominant, regurgitation-predominant and dyspeptic-predominant gastroparesis.

The underlying cause of nausea is very difficult to identify, and physician is often treat nausea symptomatically with anti-nausea and anti-emetic medications.4, 5 Phenothiazine's such as prochlorperazine (Compazine®), promethazine (Phenergan®), and trimethobenzamide (Tigan®) have significant side effects and the potential of withdraw symptoms when these medications are stopped. Serotonin (5- HT3) antagonists have central emetic effects and have been utilized in acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron, granisetron, palonosetron, and dolasetron are currently available as 5- HT3 antagonists for nausea and emesis. Oral dissolving and oral tablet formulation is suboptimal in outpatients with frequent emesis. Transdermal formulation may be optimal for patients with prolong nausea and vomiting, but data for chronic symptoms associated with gastroparesis is very limited.

An open-label, uncontrolled treatment pilot study with 2-week cycles of granisetron transdermal patch for 24 weeks in patients with chronic nausea and vomiting associated with gastroparesis
