Study Description

Brief Summary:

The REDUCE Pivotal Trial is a pivotal clinical study designed to develop valid scientific evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of the ReShape Duo® as an adjunct to diet and exercise in the treatment of obese subjects with one or more obesity-related comorbid conditions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Comparison of Treatment % Excess Weight Loss (EWL) With Control %EWL at Week 24 [ Time Frame: 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%.
2. Treatment Group Responder Rate Dichotomized at 25% EWL [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]
   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%.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Weight Loss Maintenance Six Months Following Device Removal [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]
   Assess whether significantly greater than 50% of treatment subjects maintained 40% of their excess weight loss at 48 weeks.
