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

22 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subject (healthy volunteer) has read and signed the study written informed consent form.
  • Male or female ≥ 22 years and ≤65 years of age.
  • Subject has clearly visible fat in one or more areas on the torso (abdomen, flank, back fat, bra fat), which in the investigator's opinion, may benefit from the treatment.
  • Subject has not had weight change exceeding 5% of body weight in the preceding month.
  • Subject agrees to maintain his/her weight (i.e., within 5%) by not making any major changes in their diet or exercise routine during the study.
  • Subject has a BMI ≤ 30 as determined at screening.
  • Subject agrees to have photographs taken of the treatment area(s) during the scheduled time periods.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subject has had a recent surgical procedure in the area of intended treatment.
  • Subject has had an invasive fat reduction procedure (e.g., liposuction, mesotherapy) in the area of intended treatment.
  • Subject has had a non-invasive fat reduction and/or body contouring procedure in the area of intended treatment within the past 12 months.
  • Subject needs to administer or has a known history of subcutaneous injections into the area of intended treatment (e.g., heparin, insulin) within the past month.
  • Subject has a known history of cryoglobulinemia, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, or cold agglutinin disease.
  • Subject has a known sensitivity to cold, such as cold urticaria, Raynaud's disease, chilblains (pernio), or any known condition with a response to cold exposure that limits blood flow to the skin.
  • Subject has a history of bleeding disorder or is taking any medication that in the investigator's opinion may increase the subject's risk of bruising.
  • Subject is taking or has taken diet pills or supplements within the past month.
  • Subject has any dermatological conditions, such as moderate to excessive skin laxity, or scars in the location of the treatment sites that may interfere with the treatment or evaluation (stretch marks is not an exclusion).
  • Subject has an active implanted device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or drug delivery system
  • Subject has a history of hernia in the area(s) to be treated.
  • Subject is pregnant or intending to become pregnant during the study period (in the next 8 months).
  • Subject is lactating or has been lactating in the past 6 months.
  • Subject is unable or unwilling to comply with the study requirements.
  • Subject is currently enrolled in a clinical study of any unapproved investigational drug or device.
  • Any other condition or laboratory value that would, in the professional opinion of the investigator, potentially affect the subject's response or the integrity of the data or would pose an unacceptable risk to the subject.

  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Fat Reduction
The treatments are designed to see if the fat can be reduced in the torso area with a new applicator design.
Device: The ZELTIQ System
The CoolSculpting machine will be used to perform the treatments.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Photographs Correctly Identified by At Least 2 of 3 Blinded Reviewers From the Independent Physician Reviewer Panel
Time Frame: Week 12 post final treatment (18 weeks after first treatment)
Photographs of the treatment areas (torso) taken at baseline and 12-weeks after final treatment were assessed by blinded independent reviewers to determine if the CoolSculpting treatment had the effect of improvement in the reduction of fat. The reviewers were presented with 2 series of photographs the baseline and the post final treatment series, and asked to select the series representing the baseline photographs. The order in which the photographs were presented was randomized by participant. Reported here is the percentage (%) of images that were correctly identified by at least 2 out of 3 blinded independent reviewers. Success was defined as at least 70% correct identification of the baseline images.
Week 12 post final treatment (18 weeks after first treatment)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Device and/or Procedure Related Adverse Events (AEs) and Device-related Serious Adverse Events (SADEs)
Time Frame: From first treatment up to Week 12 post final treatment (18 weeks after first treatment)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in participants, whether or not considered related to treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in death, serious deterioration in health, permanent impairment of a body structure/function, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or medical/surgical intervention, led to fetal distress or death, congenital abnormality, or birth defect. An ADE was any sign, symptom, or disease that was determined by the Investigator to have a causal relationship or possible causal relationship with the investigational device, including any AE resulting from insufficient or inadequate instructions for use, deployment, implantation, installation, or operation, or any malfunction of the device or from use error or intentional misuse of the device. A SADE was an ADE that resulted in any of the consequences characteristic of an SAE.
From first treatment up to Week 12 post final treatment (18 weeks after first treatment)
