About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the LAP-BAND system is safe and effective in subjects with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2.

Read the detailed description

LBMI-001 is a multi-center, prospective, longitudinal, non-randomized study whose purpose is to determine whether the LAP-BAND system is safe and effective in subjects with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2. Primary and secondary outcome measures were analyzed at 1 year post LAP-BAND implantation. Subjects continued to be followed for 5 years post-implantation, and 5 year data was evaluated in Post-Hoc outcome measures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent of Subjects Attaining Clinically Successful Weight Loss ( ≥ 30% EWL) at 1 Year Post LAP-BAND Implantation

    The percent of subjects attaining clinically successful weight loss at 1 year post LAP-BAND implantation. Clinically successful weight loss was defined as ≥ 30% Excess Weight Loss (%EWL), where %EWL was weight loss divided by excess weight multiplied by 100.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percent Weight Loss

    Percent weight loss was defined as weight loss divided by baseline weight, multiplied by 100. Weight loss was equal to baseline weight minus the follow-up visit weight. Excess weight = baseline weight minus ideal weight, where ideal weight was determined based on a BMI of 25 kg/m2.

    Measured: Baseline through 12 months

  2. Change in Comorbid Conditions Related to Obesity

    Percent of subjects whose baseline comorbid condition of Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension resolved (i.e., was rated as "none" on a severity scale of none, mild, moderate, or severe) 12 months after implantation.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Change in Quality of Life

    Change in quality of life was assessed using the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) Total Score, which ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). The mean change from baseline to 12 months in IWQOL-Lite Total Score is reported.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LAP-BAND System in people with Obesity, run by Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent of Subjects Attaining Clinically Successful Weight Loss ( ≥ 30% EWL) at 1 Year Post LAP-BAND Implantation (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00570505, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
