Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults and children with gastroparesis who enroll in ongoing or future GpCRC studies at participating centers.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not enrolled in GpCRC studies or not affected by gastroparesis may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This grant funds the Scientific Data Research Center to coordinate data collection, biospecimens, and multicenter collaboration for gastroparesis patients of all ages. It supports conducting ongoing and new clinical trials (including adult and pediatric studies) and ensures a single IRB oversight to streamline research across centers. The center provides statistical expertise, data management, quality control, and study design support to participating sites. By maintaining centralized resources and shared protocols, patients can contribute to research that aims to improve future therapies and disease understanding.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may benefit from faster access to new treatments and more precise care through better-designed studies and shared data.
How similar studies have gone: Previous GpCRC efforts have advanced understanding of gastroparesis and driven new trials and biomarker studies; continued data sharing is building on that work.
