Study summary

To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Orbera365 in obese populations to support the registration of Orbera365.

Read the detailed description

The study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, non-blinded trial.

The treatment group was the group with the placement of Orbera 365 plus lifestyle management, while the control group was the lifestyle management group. The central randomization system was adopted to randomly assign the research subjects into the experimental group and the control group. The subjects were enrolled at a 1:1 ratio, with 72 cases in each group, making a total of 144 cases.

The subjects in the treatment group will be followed up until 6 months after the balloon removal or 12 months after the endoscopy procedure, whichever comes later. The control group is planned to receive a 12-month lifestyle intervention, and the maximum follow-up period is up to 18 months.

Any active inflammatory or neoplastic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. among these, inflammatory diseases include esophagitis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and specific types (e.g., Crohn's disease), while neoplastic diseases include cancer, and the doctor judges that such conditions may affect the use of Orbera365.
  6. Potential upper gastrointestinal bleeding disorders, such as esophageal or gastric varices, congenital or acquired intestinal capillary ectasia, or other congenital gastrointestinal abnormalities, such as atresia or stenosis that precludes the usage for Orbera365.
  7. A structural abnormality in the esophagus or pharynx such as a stricture or diverticulum that could impede passage of the delivery catheter and/or an endoscope that precludes the usage for Orbera365.
  8. Achalasia, symptoms suggestive of delayed gastric emptying, or presence of any other severe motility disorder that that may pose a safety risk during placement or removal of the device.
  9. Positive result in the Helicobacter pylori breath test (Patients who turn negative after regular treatment can participate in this clinical trial).
  10. History or symptoms of uncontrolled or unstable thyroid disease.
  11. Abnormal coagulation with an > 1.5 that cannot be corrected (as judged by a physician) or requiring continuous full anticoagulant therapy, and/or the presence of any underlying disease associated with a high risk of bleeding.
  12. Hepatic insufficiency or liver cirrhosis, including: acute liver failure, advanced liver cirrhosis with encephalopathy, muscle atrophy, and generalized edema. severe esophageal varices with red signs and gastric varices. severe portal hypertensive gastropathy with or without gastric antral vascular ectasia.
  13. Anemia: For females, (Hgb) \< 110 g/L. for males, hemoglobin (Hgb) \< 120 g/L.
  14. Patients with known or suspected allergic reactions to the materials contained in Orbera365.
  15. Any other physical conditions that do not allow for elective endoscopy, such as poor overall health or a history and/or symptoms of severe kidney, liver, heart, and/or lung diseases. severe or uncontrolled mental illnesses or abnormalities that may affect the patient's ability to understand or comply with follow-up visits and the removal of the device 12 months later.
  16. Patients who are unable or unwilling to take the prescribed proton pump inhibitor medications during the device placement period.
  17. Patients who are unwilling to avoid any reconstructive and/or plastic surgeries that may affect weight during the study period, such as mammoplasty and liposuction.
  18. Patients who are unwilling to participate in the established medical supervision diet and behavior modification program and undergo regular medical follow-ups.
  19. Patients who are receiving treatment with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, , non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or other drugs known to irritate the gastroduodenal mucosa or reduce gastrointestinal motility and/or are unwilling to discontinue such concomitant medications. prescription or over-the-counter weight loss drugs, drugs known to cause significant weight gain or loss (such as anesthetics, opioids, or benzodiazepines), insulin, antiepileptic drugs, antiarrhythmic drugs (such as amiodarone). other drugs that may cause weight changes, including drugs that can significantly increase weight (such as , insulin secretagogues, thiazolidinediones, atypical antipsychotics, sodium valproate, lamotrigine, antidepressants, etc.), and drugs that can significantly reduce weight (such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, α-glucosidase inhibitors, topiramate, fluoxetine, bupropion, zonisamide, etc.).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
