This is a prospective, open-labeled, non-randomized, multi-center clinical study to collect efficacy data on the TempSure FlexSure applicator for fat lipolysis.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

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

Subjects will attend a screening/pretreatment visit which may be performed on the same day as the treatment visit. Subjects may receive up to 5 treatments every 1-2 weeks on the abdomen or flanks.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

18 years to 55 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  • The subject has a cut, wound, or infected skin on the area to be treated.
  • The subject is on local, oral, or systemic anesthetic agents.
  • The subject has any condition or is in a situation which in the investigators opinion may put the subject at significant risk, may confound study results or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation.
  • The subject is currently enrolled in an investigational drug or device trial, or has received an investigational drug or been treated with an investigational device within in the area to be treated 6 months (or at the discretion of the Investigator) prior to entering this study.

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
Count of Samples That Showed a Change in Adipocyte Necrosis After Treatment
Time Frame: immediately post treatment (only 1 treatment was conducted)
Photographs of the histological samples before and after the treatment (only one treatment occurred) will be examined for adipocyte necrosis. Each specimen will first be preserved with a fixative and stained with Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E stain). To determine whether or not the samples are expressing histological changes, a pathologist will look at the histology of each individual sample and record if they see any changes in histology post treatment vs. the histology taken at the baseline (these changes are observable to the eye). Then, the number of biopsy samples that express any change in adipocyte necrosis will be reported.
immediately post treatment (only 1 treatment was conducted)
Count of Samples That Showed an Inflammatory Immune Response Vs. Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline, immediately post treatment (only 1 treatment was conducted)
Photographs of the histological samples before and after the last treatment will be examined for an inflammatory immune response. Each specimen will first be preserved with a fixative and stained with Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E stain) To determine whether or not the samples are expressing histological changes, a pathologist will look at the histology of each individual sample and record if they see any changes in histology post treatment vs. the histology taken at the baseline (these changes are observable to the eye). Then, the number of biopsy samples that express any change in an inflammatory immune response will be reported.
Baseline, immediately post treatment (only 1 treatment was conducted)
