About this study

This is a post-approval, multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the LAP-BAND® AP System in a lower obese population (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2) with one or more obesity-related comorbidity up to 10 years after implantation.

The reason your study has been terminated is based on the availability of long-term safety and effectiveness data from the OSB Lead-HERo-002 study and published literature.

Read the detailed description

FDA post-approval study designed to collect prospective data in a real-world setting to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of the LAP BAND® System in patients with a BMI of ≥ 30 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2 and one or more comorbid conditions. The Apollo-001 Study is a prospective, 10 year, multicenter study of patients who have decide to undergo implantation of the LAP-BAND AP® system. Outcomes include device explants, changes in weight, comorbid condition status, device- and procedure-related AEs, and reoperations.

The LBMI study was part of the condition of approval (CoA) for the Lap-Band device. It was terminated because it was no longer required to fulfill the condition of approval for the device. Apollo was able to fulfill the condition of approval (CoA) for the Lap-Band device by using data from published literature and another recently completed study (OSB Lead-Hero-002 study) which had long-term safety and effectiveness data addressing the conditions of approval.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Explants

    The primary objective is to assess the percentage of patients who experience an explant of the LAP BAND System within 5 years of implantation.

    Measured: 5 Years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response to the LAP-BAND

    Secondary objectives include assessment of patients who respond to the LAP BAND® System at 5 years, where response is defined as achieving at least 7%Total Body Loss (TBL), assessment of prevalence of diabetes at 5 years, and assessment of changes in obesity-related comorbid conditions at 5 years.

    Measured: 5 Years

  2. Diabetes

    Assessment of prevalence of diabetes at 5 years

    Measured: 5 Year

  3. Obesity related Comorbidity

    Assessment of changes in obesity-related comorbid conditions at Year 5

    Measured: 5 Year

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?

Percentage of Explants (time frame: 5 Years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
