Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The reason we are doing this research is to get information about the ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon to learn if it is safe and if it works. We want to learn if older teenagers who are overweight will lose weight and if their other medical problems will get better. ORBERA™ is a special balloon approved by the FDA for overweight adults, and we would like to try using it for overweight teenagers.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon
N/A

Detailed Description

After obtaining consent and determining that participants meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, participants will have baseline tests and initial visits with a physician, dietitian, and psychologist. Next, the ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon (IGB) will be inserted into the stomach and then removed after 6 months. Participants will continue to be followed for 6 months after the balloon is removed. Throughout the year, participants will have additional tests along with ongoing visits with a physician, dietitian, and psychologist.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon

Participants will have the ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon inserted for 6 months. In addition, participants will have ongoing visits with a physician, dietitian, and psychologist before the balloon is inserted, while its in place, and for 6 months after the balloon is removed, for a total of approximately 1 year.

Device: ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon
The balloon will be inserted into the stomach and inflated, and will remain in place for 6 months, after which the device will be removed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Subjects Achieving Greater Than or Equal to 10% Total Body Weight Loss [up to 1 year]

    Weight loss will be measured by change in weight divided by baseline weight.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) [Baseline, end of study (approximately 1 year)]

    Change will be measured as a percentage by taking change in ALT divided by baseline ALT.

  2. Change in Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) [Baseline, end of study (approximately 1 year)]

    Change will be measured as a percentage by taking change in AST divided by baseline AST.

  3. Change in Fasting Insulin [Baseline, end of study (approximately 1 year)]

    Change will be measured as a percentage by taking change in fasting insulin divided by baseline fasting insulin.

  4. Change in Hemoglobin A1c (HgA1c) [Baseline, end of study (approximately 1 year)]

    Change will be measured as a percentage by taking change in HgA1c divided by baseline HgA1c.

  5. Change in High-density Lipoprotein (HDL) [Baseline, end of study (approximately 1 year)]

    Change will be measured as a percentage by taking change in HDL divided by baseline HDL.

  6. Change in Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) [Baseline, end of study (approximately 1 year)]

    Change will be measured as a percentage by taking change in LDL divided by baseline LDL.

  7. Change in Triglycerides [Baseline, end of study (approximately 1 year)]

    Change will be measured as a percentage by taking change in triglycerides divided by baseline triglycerides.

  8. Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Events [Intragastric balloon (IGB) removal (approximately 6 months)]

    Number of participants to experience one or more serious adverse events as defined as Grade 3 or higher according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) scale.

  9. Number of Subjects Who Had the Balloon Removed Early [Intragastric balloon (IGB) removal (approximately 6 months)]

    Early will be defined as balloon removal prior to the 6 month window time point as defined in the protocol.

  10. Number of Subjects Whose Balloon Deflated Early [Intragastric balloon (IGB) removal (approximately 6 months)]

    Early will be defined as balloon deflation prior to the 6 month window time point as defined in the protocol.
