EndoBarrier® SANS™ in Over-weight or Obese Type 2 Diabetic Subjects

February 9, 2016 updated by: GI Dynamics

A Pilot Safety and Tolerability Study of the Use of the EndoBarrier® SANS™ in Over-weight or Obese Type 2 Diabetic Subjects

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the EndoBarrier® SANS™ in overweight and obese subjects with type 2 diabetes. The barbless second generation device is being developed as a means to reduce the incidence of adverse events associated with the barbs of the predicate device while maintaining a similar efficacy profile as measured by changes in weight and diabetic endpoints (HbA1c, blood glucose, insulin, etc.). This first use in human will primarily evaluate preliminary safety, tolerability and efficacy of the new design. Because of the new design and its first study in human subjects, only a 3 month implant duration will be evaluated in this study.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The GI Dynamics' EndoBarrier® SANS™ is an endoscopically positioned device that represents an alternative to the use of gastric bypass operative techniques as a means of re-routing food and altering the gut-hormone axis. The EndoBarrier® SANS™ provides an alternate passage of chime through the duodenum and proximal sixty centimeters of jejunum replicating in part the bypass of bariatric surgery.

This study will be conducted at a single clinical site in Malaysia. Approximately 16 subjects will be enrolled in two cohorts of 8 subjects. The two cohorts will be implanted one week apart with the implantation of the second cohort triggered by the absence of major technical or clinical issues (i.e. safety, tolerability) observed in the first cohort in the first seven days.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

21 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes
