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

In this study, the safety and the efficacy of ZELTIQ's technology will be evaluated for the non-invasive fat reduction of the medial infragluteal folds on a small group of subjects. This is a feasibility study to determine if cryolipolysis in this area produces a desirable lifted appearance to the buttocks. Typically, a lifted more youthful appearance is obtained through surgical means. Study participants will be recruited from the population of patients who have suitable, treatable subcutaneous fat on the medial infragluteal folds and desire a lifted appearance. Subjects will receive treatments with a cooled cup cryolipolysis applicator from the CoolAdvantage family of applicators (cooled cup vacuum applicator). Treatments will be performed with a treatment temperature of - 11°C for up to 35 minutes. Subjects will complete all study-required follow-up visits, including an 8-week follow-up which may include a second treatment session, as well as a 12-week post final treatment follow-up visit.

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 50 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female subjects > 22 years of age and < 50 years of age.
  • Presence of suitable treatable subcutaneous fat on the medial infragluteal folds, which in the investigator's opinion may benefit from CoolSculpting to potentially create a lifted appearance to the buttocks.
  • BMI under 30.
  • No weight change exceeding 5% of body weight in the preceding month.
  • Agreement to maintain their weight (i.e., within 5%) by not making any major changes in their diet or lifestyle during the course of the study.
  • Subject has read and signed a written informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has skin laxity in the area of intended treatment which in the opinion of the investigator, may result in an unacceptable aesthetic result.
  • Subject has had a surgical procedure(s) in the area of intended treatment.
  • History of a fat reduction procedure (e.g., liposuction, surgery, lipolytic agents, etc.), in or around the area of intended treatment.
  • Known history of cryoglobulinemia, cold urticaria, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
  • Known history of Raynaud's disease, or any known condition with a response to cold exposure that limits blood flow to the skin.
  • History of bleeding disorder or is taking any medication that in the investigator's opinion may increase the subject's risk of bruising.
  • 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.
  • Currently taking or has taken diet pills or weight control supplements within the past month.
  • Any dermatological conditions, such as scars, infection, in the location of the treatment area that may interfere with the treatment or evaluation.
  • Active implanted device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or drug delivery system.
  • Subject has a history of hernia in the areas to be treated.
  • Pregnant or intending to become pregnant in the next 5 months.
  • Lactating or has been lactating in the past 6 months.
  • Unable or unwilling to comply with the study requirements.
  • Currently enrolled in a clinical study of any other 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.

Experimental: Interventional cohort
Zeltiq system is a thermoelectric device that applies controlled cooling ot skin. The CoolAdvantage applicators use gentle vacuum pressure to draw tissue into the cup shaped applicator. A gelpad is applied to skin to improve thermal coupling between participant and the applicator cooling surface.

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
Incidence of treatment-emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the safety of subcutaneous fat reduction in the medial intragluteal folds using the ZELTIQ System as a non-invasive clinical treatment. Safety will be measured through the incidence of device and/or procedure-related adverse event.
12 weeks
Subjective clinical evaluation of subcutaneous fat treatment by Cryolipolysis [Efficacy]
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous fat reduction in the medial intragluteal folds using the ZELTIQ System as a non-invasive clinical treatment. This will be evaluated by two blinded independent reviewers through the review of pre-treatment vs. post-treatment photos taken with a VECTRA H2 (Canfield Scientific, Inc) camera.
12 weeks
Aggregated measurements of subcutaneous fat treatment by Cryolipolysis [Efficacy]
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous fat reduction in the medial intragluteal folds using the ZELTIQ System as a non-invasive clinical treatment. Quantitative measurements of efficacy will be determined by review of 3-D images from a Vectra H2 software by Canfield Scientific, Inc. measuring buttock volume difference in cc, angle formed at the inner gluteal vertex in degrees, and Height difference from the top to the bottom of the buttock in mm and surface area reduction calculations in cm2
12 weeks

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
Subject satisfaction of subcutaneous fat treatment documented in written questionnaire
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Subject satisfaction data will be collected at the 12-week final follow-up visit via a written questionnaire. A validated questionnaire using a likert rating scale will be utilized . Score values are 1 to 5, with high numbers meaning better outcomes.
