Trial Outcomes & Findings for Body Surface Gastric Mapping in Patients on Semaglutide (NCT NCT06401746)

NCT ID: NCT06401746

Last Updated: 2026-08-31

Results Overview

Amplitude is a measure of the strength of contractions. It has a normative reference range between 22-70 microvolts; values outside this range indicate a worse outcome. Minimum: 0.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

Participant Flow

Patients aged ≥ 18 years, did not present with gastroduodenal symptoms and prescribed semaglutide as part of their standard care (for weight loss or diabetes) were recruited from a tertiary center.

The BSGM Principal Gastric Frequency is the number of slow waves in a minute and measured as cycles per minute (cpm). It has a normative reference range between 2.65-3.35 cpm; values outside this range indicate a worse outcome. Minimum: 0; maximum: 6.

BSGM Gastric Alimetry Rhythm Index is a measure of stability; calculated as a single unitless value. A normal value is indicated as more than or equal to 0.25; a lower value indicates greater instability/worse outcomes. Minimum: 0; maximum: 1.

Fed:fasted amplitude ratio is the ratio of the maximum 1-hour averaged postprandial amplitude to the premeal average amplitude and calculated as a single value. A normal value is indicated as \>1.08; a higher value indicates a better outcome. Minimum: 0.
