Trial summary

The proposed study is a prospective, pilot study to assess the feasibility of a novel endoscopic suturing system to reduce gastric volume by changing the shape of the stomach for the primary treatment of obesity. The investigators aim to recruit ten subjects with a body mass index between 30-40 for this study. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Endoscopic Gastric Reduction for Weight Management: A Pilot Feasibility Study

The proposed study is a prospective, pilot study to assess the feasibility of a novel endoscopic suturing system to reduce gastric volume by changing the shape of the stomach for the primary treatment of obesity. The investigators aim to recruit ten subjects with a body mass index between 30-40 for this study. Vertical sutures will be performed using the endoscopic suturing system to deploy 10-17 interrupted full thickness sutures. Botulinum toxin(approximately 30 units) will be injected around the sutures insertion sites in half of the subjects randomly to slow down muscular grinding of the stomach to see if it improves durability of the procedure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Botulinum toxinDrug

    Also called Botox

    In this study, Botulinum toxin will be injected in half of the subjects not as a primary treatment modality for obesity, but to retard the muscular grinding gastric activity arount the suture insertion sites to see if it improves the durability of the gastroplasty.

  • Overstitch Endoscopic Suturing SystemDevice

    The gastroplasty will be accomplished by a series of intralumenally placed full thickness interrupted sutures through the gastric wall, using the FDA-approved (510K) endoscopic suturing device, the Overstitch Endoscopic Suturing System.

Study groups in NCT01682733
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Botulinum toxin at injection siteExperimentalAll subjects will have gastroplasty performed using the Overstitch Endoscopic Suturing System. Botulinum toxin will be injected in every other suture site in half of the randomly patients selected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Botulinum toxin and Overstitch Endoscopic Suturing System in people with Obesity, run by Mayo Clinic 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2015. 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.

What does this 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.

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?

Change from baseline Bariatric Quality of Life (BQL) Questionaire (time frame: baseline to 3 months). 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 NCT01682733, 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 Apr 2015.
