About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study Assessing the Effect of Gelesis200 on Body Weight in Overweight and Obese Subjects Without or With Type 2 Diabetes

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study Assessing the Effect of Gelesis200 on Body Weight in Overweight and Obese Subjects without or with Type 2 Diabetes

Read the detailed description

Multicenter, two-cohort, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose, adaptive (Two Phases).

In the first Phase of the adaptive design, unblinded interim analyses were conducted on 57 subjects and used to adjust the design for the second Phase. The first Phase was completed under protocol Version 1.0. Data used in the unblinded interim analyses of the first Phase will not be included in the second Phase (protocol Version 2.0 and subsequent protocol versions) analyses.

The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Gelesis200 as a superabsorbent hydrogel for weight loss in treated diabetic subjects, untreated diabetic subjects, and prediabetic subjects (Cohort 1).

The study will evaluate separately the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Gelesis200 for weight loss in normoglycemic subjects (Cohort 2).

Being tested
Gelesis200, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Overweight, Diabetes Mellitus, Prediabetic State, Obesity

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gelesis200 in people with Overweight and Diabetes, run by Gelesis, Inc. at 30 sites in 8 countries.

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 12 inclusion and 46 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in United States, Poland, United Kingdom, Hungary, Canada and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Proportion of subjects with weight loss ≥5.0% (time frame: Change from baseline to day 171 (week 25)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jul 2020.
