| NCT01379183 ↗ | Using Magnetic Resonance (MR) to Understand the Effect of Erythromycin on Bowel Motility | Completed | National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) | Phase 2/Phase 3 | 2011-06-01 | Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven to be a valuable imaging technique for suspected small bowel disease. This technique depends, in part, on adequate distension of the small bowel. This is accomplished by administering large volumes of a non-absorbable oral contrast material prior to the examination, which typically produces excellent distension of the distal small bowel and stomach, but poor distension of the proximal small bowel. Erythromycin is a common antibiotic that is known to promote stomach emptying and is used to treat diabetics with gastroparesis (poor stomach emptying.) The hypothesis of this study was that erythromycin will increase gastric emptying and hence improve small and large intestinal distention during MRI. |

| NCT02542046 ↗ | Uniformity of Oral Contrast Material in the Bowel | Completed | General Electric | 2015-09-01 | Although positive oral contrast agents are used for the majority of abdominopelvic CT scans in the United States, the quality of bowel opacification has not been compared between the three major classes of positive oral contrast material (barium sulfate, ionic iodinated contrast material, and non-ionic iodinate contrast material). This is a retrospective single institution study of clinical records to show whether the uniformity of bowel opacification is different between the three main types of positive CT oral contrast material used in the United States (Barium sulfate, Diatrizoate, and Iohexol). The investigators will retrospectively identify 250 patients each who received oral barium sulfate, diatrizoate, and iohexol for CT scanning of the abdomen and pelvis (total 750 patients) and assess the quality of bowel lumen opacification by the positive oral contrast agents. | |
