Study Description

Brief Summary:

A prospective, multicenter, open-label, post-approval study of the safety and effectiveness of ORBERA™ as an adjunct to weight reduction for obese adults (22 years of age and older) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥ 30 kg/m2 and BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2

Condition or disease
Obesity; Overweight

Detailed Description:

FDA post-approval study designed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of ORBERA™ as an adjunct to weight reduction for obese adults (22 years of age and older) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥ 30 kg/m2 and BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2. Behavioral modification program in conjunction with endoscopic placement of a single ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon, filled with saline to an inflation volume between 400cc and 700cc, for 26 weeks followed by endoscopic ORBERA™ removal. Outcomes include the mean percent Total Body Weight Loss (%TBWL), changes in weight, device and procedure-related AEs and SAEs: gastric ulcers, esophageal injury, placement and removal related SAEs, early device removals, and balloon deflations.

Groups and Cohorts

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
   Incidence of device and procedure-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) after 26 weeks of ORBERA™ treatment will be no greater than 15%

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Percentage of Total Body Weight Loss (%TBWL) [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
   To demonstrate that the mean percent Total Body Weight Loss (%TBWL) will be greater than 7.5% at ORBERA™ treatment conclusion (study week 26)
2. Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   To continuously assess the safety of ORBERA™ by summarizing the occurrence of device- and procedure-related Adverse Events (AEs)
3. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   To continuously assess the safety of ORBERA™ by summarizing the occurrence of the following device- or procedure-related SAEs: gastric ulcers, esophageal injury, placement and removal related SAEs, early device removals, and balloon deflations
4. Total Body Weight Loss (%TBWL) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   To estimate the %TBWL at each time point
5. Percentage of Excess Weight Loss (%EWL) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   To estimate the percent Excess Weight Loss (%EWL) at each time point, assuming an ideal weight based on having a BMI of 25 kg/m2
6. Body Mass Index [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   To estimate the change from baseline in BMI at each time point
7. Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   Will collect data on appetite, feelings of fullness, taste, and eating habits through a patient questionnaire.
8. Subject Treatment Satisfaction Survey [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   The Subject Satisfaction Survey will collect data on the subject's level of satisfaction with ORBERA treatment and their recommendation of ORBERA™ treatment to others.
