About this study

Official title: CoolSculpting Treatment of the Distal Thigh

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ZELTIQ CoolSculpting System using a small area applicator for non-invasive subcutaneous fat reduction in the distal thigh.

Read the detailed description

This study will investigate the use of a Small Area Applicator with the CoolSculpting device for reducing subcutaneous fat in the distal thigh. The study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatments.

Treatment with Small Area ApplicatorExperimentalEach enrolled subject was treated on a single thigh, in the distal region.
Receives: Device: The ZELTIQ System

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Device- or Procedure-related Adverse Events

    The number of device- or procedure-related adverse events will be tabulated. Adverse event data are collected throughout the study period from the time of enrollment through the final follow-up visit.

    Measured: Study enrollment through 12-week final follow-up visit, approximately 15 weeks

  2. Proportion of Correctly Identified Photos by Blinded Reviewers

    Change in the treated vs. untreated areas will be assessed by observation of changes in surface contour and/or fat volume by an independent photo review of pre-treatment and post-treatment images. All reviewers will be blinded to post-treatment vs. baseline untreated area. The order in which images will be presented will be randomized; for each subject placement of the baseline, pre-treatment image will be randomized for each pair of subject images. Reviewers will be asked to select the baseline photos for each subject photo series and record selections on a data collection form.

    Note: Due to the inconsistency of site photographic practices, the photos were not reasonably evaluable and therefore the independent phot review was not conducted.

    Measured: 12 weeks post final treatment
