About this study

Official title: A Pilot Feasibility Sham Controlled Study of the GI Sleeve for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner compared to sham control in subjects with Type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed as a randomized, single blind, sham controlled, pilot efficacy study of subjects with Type 2 diabetes enrolled at 2 centers in Santiago, Chile. Subjects were enrolled at a 2:1 ratio (EndoBarrier to sham). Following implantation or sham procedure, subjects were treated for 24 weeks or 52 weeks. Following explant, subjects were followed for an additional 8-12 weeks.

Subject evaluations included measurements of HbA1c, glucose, insulin, weight, changes in diabetic medications, and meal tolerance tests. Safety was monitored through the collection of clinical labs, physical assessments, endoscopy and adverse events.

What participants receive

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

  • EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal LinerDevice

    Also called GI Sleeve

    The EndoBarrier is a single use, implant consisting of a tube of composite material which is placed in the proximal section of the duodenum. The implant is fixed in place with the aid of a metal anchor. The device is delivered via an endoscope. The implant facilitates the passage of food from the stomach through the tube to the proximal section of the jejunum.

  • Sham: endoscopy and standard of careOther

    Also called Control

    Sham subjects had an endoscopic procedure and then received standard of care treatment of their diabetes

Receives: Other: Sham: endoscopy and standard of care

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in HbA1c Values From Baseline Measurement

    Cohort A: Assessment of improvement in the glycemic control defined as a change in HbA1c values from baseline.

    Cohort B. Assessment of improvement in glycemic control defined as a change in HbA1c values of at least 0.5% from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to 24 weeks or 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Absolute Weight Change

    Measured: 24 weeks or 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Morphic Medical Inc..

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 9 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 28 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Dec 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?

Change in HbA1c Values From Baseline Measurement (time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks or 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 28 Dec 2016.
