An interventional study of TANTALUS System in Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, sponsored by MetaCure (USA), Inc.. Terminated at 13 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 21 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-09-22.

To assess the TANTALUS therapy in type 2 diabetic patients who can not tolerate GLP-1 agonist due to unacceptable side effects; and to assess the TANTALUS therapy in type 2 diabetic patients who do not sufficiently benefit from GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy
The present protocol will address whether the effects of the TANTALUS treatment are complimentary to GLP-1 treatment which is only partially effective or whether it can replace GLP-1 treatment in individuals who cannot tolerate GLP-1 agonists because of unacceptable side effects.
This investigation will be a 3 arm multicenter study which will enroll in a Run-In Period up to 400 with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This Run-In Period will facilitate screening the patients with the aim to have a maximum of 30 patients in each arm complete the Evaluation Period of 6 months. The study aims at evaluating the TANTALUS therapy compared to GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy by evaluating improvement in glycemic control and weight after 6 months of treatment in each of the 3 study groups, which are:
9,359 studies on the registry are indexed under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; 1,318 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 20 is below the median of 80 across 7,525 interventional studies indexed under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.

Patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonist with at least one oral anti-diabetic medication may be included under the following conditions:
a. The HbA1c, before GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy was administered, was: i. 7.8% \< HbA1c \< 10.5% if T2DM duration less than 5 years ii. 7.8% \< HbA1c \< 10.0% if T2DM duration greater than 5 years b. The patient was on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy for no more than 12 weeks
Exclusion Criteria:
Group A: Subjects on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy only. After run in of 12 weeks on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, Patients with HbA1c \< 7.5 are moved to Group A, continue GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, and then start the Evaluation Period These patients will not be implanted with the TANTALUS system.
Device: TANTALUS System
Group B: subjects on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy and TANTALUS therapy After run in of 12 weeks on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, Patients with HbA1c \> 7.5 are moved to Group B, continue GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, implanted with TANTALUS within 4 weeks, and then start the Evaluation Period
Device: TANTALUS System
Group C: subjects on TANTALUS therapy only After run in of 12 weeks on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, patients intolerant to low dosage of GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy will be implanted with the TANTALUS system
Device: TANTALUS System
An Active Implantable Pulse Generator Medical Device for the treatment of Obesity and Diabetes Type 2 and Obesity
Also known as: TANTALUS System, TANTALUS II
Decrees in HbA1c of at least 0.5 points and Weight loss of at least 3% of total body weight after 6 month of treatment
Change in HbA1c and weight will be assessed at baseline and 24 weeks of treatment for Group A and C. Additionally, each group will be analyzed for the weight of decrease extent, the percentage of patients achieving the endpoint, and the percentage of patients that reach an HbA1c less than 7.0%.
