About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty in Obese Children and Adolescents

In this study, the investigators assess the safety and efficacy of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in adolescents with obesity.

Read the detailed description

Endoscopic bariatric therapy (EBT) is an emerging, rapidly evolving field that aims to serve as a middle ground between safe, albeit poorly effective medical weight loss strategies and drastic but effective bariatric surgery. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a procedure that restricts the stomach to a sleeve-like configuration by utilizing full-thickness sutures that plicate the greater curvature of the stomach. Emerging data from adult populations shows an acceptable safety, tolerability and efficacy profile. Based on analysis that confirmed the safety and efficacy of ESG in adult patients who undergo the procedure under a standardized protocol and clinical care pathway, the investigators planned to study its effects on adolescents in a specialized center that offers surgical, endoscopic, and medical management of obesity under a standardized protocol and care pathway.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty in people with Obesity, Childhood, run by King Saud University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Weight Loss (time frame: One year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03778697, 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.

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 7 May 2019.
