Scientific titleA single centre 30-day observational non-randomised study to evaluate preliminary safety and efficacy of a novel gastric space occupying device as an aid for weight loss
Study objectivesThe study is observational and no formal hypothesis testing will be conducted. The purpose is to evaluate the preliminary safety and effectiveness of the device as an aid to weight loss.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Hospital Angeles in Tijuana, Baja California (Comité de Ética of Hospital Ángeles de Tijuana, Baja California), Mexico, approved on the 15th June 2010 (ref: PTL-1000-0005-02)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOverweight, obese
InterventionThis will be an observational study where patients will serve as their own contol. No independent control group will be evaluated. Baseline weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference will be obtained. Space occupying device will be administered and then weight, BMI, waist circumference will be obtained weekly for 4 weeks. At the end of 4 weeks, device will be removed. A last follow up visit/phone contact will occur one week after device removal.

PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)
Primary outcome measureSafety, characterised by the incidence of all adverse device effects (ADEs), possibly related to or related to the procedure and/or device, experienced by study participants. Adverse device effects are collected at a minimum weekly (day 7, 14, 21, and 28 +/- 2 days); however, they are documented at any time the patient notifies the study staff of a concern. There is no formal endpoint and the sample size does not support a formal endpoint to be evaluated.
Secondary outcome measuresInformation on preliminary efficacy, obtained by measurements of total weight loss and excess weight loss during the 30 days of device use as compared to baseline
Overall study start date12/01/2011
Completion date01/04/2011
