About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Pilot Efficacy Study of the GI Sleeve™ for Pre-Surgical Weight Loss

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and initial efficacy of the EndoBarrier device compared to a diet control in patients who require weight loss prior to their Bariatric surgery.

It is a randomized, prospective controlled, open label, pilot study of 40 patients. Thiry patients will receive an implant of the EndoBarrier device and the other 10 patients will receive the principle investigator's standard of care diet program. All patients will be treated for 12 weeks with the exception of the last 10 device patients who will continue to 24 weeks if the principle investigator determines that it is safe and in their best interest to continue.

The primary efficacy endpoint is:

  • Assessment of the difference in % excess weight loss between the 2 groups

Secondary endpoints are:

  • Resolution or Improvement in type II Diabetic status as defined as:
  • Resolution = patient is off their diabetes medication and has normal diabetic blood parameters (fasting glucose)
  • Improvement = normalizing diabetic blood parameters (fasting glucose) and/or a reduction in dosing or frequency of their diabetic medication
  • The percent of patients who achieve at least a 10% excess weight loss will be calculated as a secondary outcome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Weight Change From Baseline at 12 Weeks in kg

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. % of Subjects Achieving at Least a 10% Change in Excess Weight From Baseline to 12 Weeks

    The percent excess weight loss calculated using the Metropolitan Life Tables (MET). The actual amount of excess weight loss (EWL) was examined through the percent of actual weight change from baseline.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Count of Subjects With Decrease in HbA1c Values From Baseline to Week 12

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12 of treatment
