What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparison of Treatment % Excess Weight Loss (EWL) With Control %EWL at Week 24

    An inferential test of whether the difference in the mean %EWL between the Treatment and Control groups at 24 weeks was significantly greater than a superiority margin 7.5%.

    Time frame: Week 24

  2. Treatment Group Responder Rate Dichotomized at 25% EWL

    An inferential test of whether the percentage of participants in the Treatment Group with a weight loss of \>25% EWL at 24 weeks was significantly greater than 35%.

    Time frame: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Weight Loss Maintenance Six Months Following Device Removal

    Assess whether significantly greater than 50% of treatment subjects maintained 40% of their excess weight loss at 48 weeks.

    Time frame: 48 weeks
