About this study
Official title: Single-Stage Gastric Fundus Ablation and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty for Weight Loss
The purpose of this research is to investigate the combined effects of fundic ablation (FA) and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty on circulating plasma ghrelin, satiation, and total body weight loss, as well as the incidence of adverse events. This procedure will be carried out with the HybridAPC (ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH, Tübingen, Germany). The HybridAPC instrument creates an electric current to deliver a safe amount of thermal injury to a portion of the stomach known as the gastric fundus. This thermal injury will target a hormone called ghrelin which is the only known hormone linked to increasing appetite, calorie intake, and weight gain. This procedure is designed to target the bodily effects of appetite control and gastric sensory and motor functions which cause the feeling of fullness and satiation. When fundic mucosal ablation is paired with endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), this combined investigational approach may lead to decreased fasting ghrelin levels, improved satiation, and greater total body weight loss than traditional ESG. This study will help determine if the combined impact of FA with ESG within the same endoscopic session should be made available to patients as part of a comprehensive weight loss strategy.
Read the detailed description
Obesity is a chronic disease state driven by the imbalance of caloric intake and expenditure and mediated by multiple central and peripheral pathways that may serve as targets for therapeutic interventions. The endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a per oral gastric remodeling technique that employs full-thickness suturing to imbricate the stomach along the greater curvature to achieve a restricted, sleeve-like configuration. While the ESG recapitulates the configuration of a gastric sleeve, it has not yet been shown to achieve as robust weight loss outcomes compared to the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). A major difference between ESG and LSG is that the former does not involve the gastric fundus. The proximal stomach, and the fundus in particular, produces ghrelin, the only known orexigenic hormone, which has been linked to increased calorie intake and weight gain. Studies have observed reduced levels of ghrelin along multiple timepoints following LSG, and this has been attributed to targeting of the fundus, as bariatric surgeries that did not involve the fundus did not see a decrease in circulating plasma ghrelin. In contrast, in a small comparative study of ESG and LSG, patients who had undergone ESG did not show any decrease in fasting ghrelin levels, 8 ostensibly due to fundic-sparing. In this study, the investigators propose to investigate the effects of fundic ablation (FA-ESG) on total body weight loss (TBWL) as well as the incidence of adverse events. Fundic ablation will be followed with ESG, to evaluate the combined impact of FA and ESG (FA-ESG). This study hypothesizes that the combined endoscopic intervention (FA-ESG) will result in significant weight loss while maintaining an acceptable safety profile

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Fundic Ablation in Combination with Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, Fundic Mucosal Ablation with ERBE HybridAPC and Apollo ESG in people with Obesity, run by True You Weight Loss at 1 site in United States.
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 8 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2023. 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 United States. 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.
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?
Rate of Safety Complications (time frame: Week 1, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12). 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 NCT05992103, which also lists 10 linked publications.
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 Dec 2023.
