Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Sham Comparator: Sham

This arm of the study has the procedure but does not get the Gatekeeper prostheses. The Sham arm has the option to cross-over to the Treatment arm at the 6-month visit.

Device: Gatekeeper Reflux Repair System
The Gatekeeper System™ consists of a specialized 16-mm overtube assembly, a 2.4-mm diameter prosthesis delivery system (1-mm diameter needle, dilator, and 2.4-mm diameter sheath), a pushrod assembly and Gatekeeper Prosthesis. Up to 4 prostheses will be implanted at the initial procedure and retreatment with up to four more prostheses will be allowed at 3-months if the subject has a GERD HRQL score >15.
Other Names:
  • Gatekeeper
  • Active Comparator: Treatment

    The treatment arm has the Gatekeeper devices implanted.
