About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial of Obese Subjects Previously Implanted With the EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the GI Endobarrier Liner can be reimplanted.

Read the detailed description

Patients with obesity are at significantly greater risk of developing significant co-morbid complications, and are associated with an increased risk in all-cause mortality. The GI Endobarrier Liner represents a viable alternative to other short-term weight loss methods. It is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure, which may allow patients to recover faster with less morbidity and mortality. This study is investigating whether the the GI Endobarrier Liner can be reimplanted.

    Measured: 52 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Absolute Weight Loss From Baseline to Week 52

    Measured: Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Endobarrier Liner in people with Obesity, run by Morphic Medical Inc. at 1 site in Chile.

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 5 inclusion and 22 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 15 Feb 2017. 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 Chile. 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 phase mean?

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Mar 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Assessment of the % Excess Weight Loss at Week 52 or Last Assessment (time frame: 52 Weeks). 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 15 Feb 2017.
