Metoclopramide for stomach emptying before surgery in GLP-1 users
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called metoclopramide before surgery can help your stomach empty faster in people taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications. This may reduce the risk of food or liquid staying in your stomach during surgery, which can be dangerous.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are taking a GLP-1 medication (like Ozempic or Wegovy) for weight loss only.
- You have planned (elective) surgery that requires a stay in the hospital overnight.
- You have not had any previous stomach surgery.
- You do not take opioid painkillers every day.
- You do not have poorly controlled diabetes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how a newly started GLP-1 medicine (commonly used for weight loss or diabetes) changes the amount of food left in your stomach and how fast it empties. The goal is to understand these effects better, which may help improve safety and dosing.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how fast your stomach empties food. It looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have been taking a GLP-1 medication for at least three months.
This study looks at how GLP-1 medications affect the time it takes for your stomach to empty before anesthesia. It may help doctors decide if you need to take special precautions before your surgery.
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1) affects how much food stays in your stomach before surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer by understanding stomach content.
This trial compares two medications, cyclizine and metoclopramide, given before bariatric surgery to see which one better reduces the amount of fluid left in the stomach (gastric residual volume). This matters because a full stomach during surgery can increase the risk of complications. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these medications randomly, and the results may help improve safety for future patients.
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
