Efficacy of Domperidone (a Prokinetic Agent) on Time in Range in Digestively Asymptomatic Type I Diabetic Patients With Delayed Gastric Emptying (Gastro-TIR)

Plain-language summary
Patients living with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) still have trouble controlling their blood sugar, even with the latest treatments. PwT1D may have slow stomach emptying influencing blood glucose level. Treating this is an important goal. A recent study found that 30% of PwT1D had a slower gastric emptying rate, even though they had no other complications and were not experiencing any digestive issues. Slowing of gastric emptying is linked to gastric hypoglycaemia, which is a life-threatening condition that can affect quality of life, and to higher blood sugar level after eating. This can last throughout the night. Prokinetic treatments for the stomach are good for diabetic patients with slow digestion. These treatments help with stomach pain and, to a lesser extent, with hypoglycemia. However, there is no data on the benefits of such treatments in patients with no digestive symptoms, on glycaemic control as defined by continuous glucose monitoring data. In fact, this may be more relevant than HbA1c in patients with alternating hypo- and/or hyperglycaemia.
The investigator thinks that a prokinetic agent like domperidone could improve glycaemic control in PwT1D with slow gastric emptying and glycaemic imbalance.
This study tests how domperidone affects blood sugar levels in PwT1D. Patients will be administrated domperidone or a placebo for 28 days. The investigator will see how long T1D patients spend within their blood sugar target range over 14 days using a continuous glucose monitor.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
