Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Recent studies have demonstrated that various pharmacologic treatments including proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and prokinetics and psychological treatments improve the symptoms in subjects with functional dyspepsia. The mode of action of gastroprokinetic drugs is via various receptor mechanisms, which include action at motlin receptors, serotonin receptors, dopamine receptors and/or acetylcholinesterase.The effects of treatment with the study drug Z-338 yielded significant improvement of symptoms in functional dyspepsia in a well controlled study in Japan. The aim of this study, therefore, is to assess in healthy controls and subjects with functional dyspepsia the effects of the study drug Z-338 on the type and severity of symptoms during standardized nutrient challenge, the gastric nutrient distribution and gastric emptying of a standardized nutrient challenge and the association of the prior mentioned points with manifestations of symptoms and symptom pattern.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The study is a randomised crossover design in which both groups take placebo and active drug at different intervals of the study.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Healthy volunteers will be assigned to a unique sequence of numbers, diagnosed functional dyspepsia patients will be assigned a seperate unique number sequencing system.
