About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study Assessing the Effects of Gelesis200 on Appetite Parameters, Food Intake, and Glycemic Control in Overweight or Obese Subjects With or Without Diabetes: A Sub-Study of LIGHT-UP
This study evaluates the effects of Gelesis200 on Appetite Parameters, Food Intake, and Glycemic Control in Overweight or Obese Prediabetic Subjects: A Sub-Study of LIGHT-UP. Some of the patients will receive Gelesis200, the other will receive a combination of Gelesis200 and placebo and the final group will receive just placebo.
Read the detailed description
Overweight (BMI ≥25 and <30kg/M2) and obesity (BMI ≥30kg/M2) are major health problems, world-wide. The overweight/obesity epidemic was first noted in the US and then spread to other industrialized nations, and is now seen even in developing countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that the worldwide prevalence of obesity has nearly doubled between 1980 and 2008, and in a separate analysis, the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD RisC) and the WHO estimated that the worldwide prevalence of diabetes has nearly quadrupled between 1980 and 2014, from 108 million to 422 million, respectively.
The intra-gastric balloon is an intervention designed to reduce stomach volume, but there are conflicting data on sustained weight loss and no clear data indicating a decrease in mortality. Side effects include balloon movement, nausea, vomiting, pain, and stomach ulceration. The results from bariatric surgery suggest that limiting the functional volume of the stomach is an effective modality for the treatment of obesity. However, because of the invasive nature of the procedure, associated risk of peri-operative complications and the relatively high cost, bariatric surgery is usually reserved for the severely obese subjects. A need exists for a product that is easy to use, safe, convenient, more accessible, and effective at inducing and sustaining weight loss. Interventions which act mechanically by occupying stomach volume, increasing the elasticity and viscosity of the upper gastrointestinal content, and extending gastric emptying time, could potentially be very beneficial.A medical device which induces satiety and decreases hunger could result in decreased caloric intake and weight loss. The advantage of such a medical device is that it would not require drastic restriction of food choices and would circumvent the challenge of unacceptable hunger levels which have derailed so many dietary interventions in the past.
Gelesis200, when hydrated, is homogeneously mixed with the ingested food,increasing the volume and elasticity of the stomach and small intestine contents. This in turn may induce satiety,which reduces food intake. Previous studies with a similar hydrogel (Gelesis100) have shown increased satiety,reduced body weight(especially in prediabetics), and improved glycemic control. It is expected that Gelesis200 will have similar effects to Gelesis100. Furthermore, the physical properties of Gelesis200 (viscosity), which are similar to some dietary fibers, suggest that Gelesis200 will have a favorable impact on glycemic control.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Gelesis200 in people with Overweight and Obesity and PreDiabetes, run by Gelesis, Inc. at 1 site in Denmark.
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 7 inclusion and 49 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 4 Apr 2022. 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 Denmark. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
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?
The first is placebo-adjusted weight loss of ≥3.0%from baseline to Visit 14 in prediabetic subjects or ≥2.0% in diabetic subjects on Gelesis200. (time frame: 26 weeks). 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 NCT03622424, which also lists 3 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 4 Apr 2022.
