About ANTERO-1
ANTERO-1 is a randomized, single‐blinded, cross‐over study conducted in the University Hospital Gasthuisberg in Leuven, Belgium. In this study, healthy volunteers received either placebo or codeine while motility‐induced pressure changes were recorded using the VIPUNG GMS for 6 hours, including a period of 2 hours while nutrients were infused. An algorithm, designed to detect phasic contractility, converted pressure changes to a gastric balloon motility index which was correlated to the emptying speed of the nutrients as determined with the 13C- octanoate breath test.
