Study & Design

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Treatment with Small Area Applicator	The ZELTIQ System	Each enrolled subject was treated on a single thigh, in the distal region.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Rate of Device- or Procedure-related Adverse Events	Study enrollment through 12-week final follow-up visit, approximately 15 weeks	The number of device- or procedure-related adverse events will be tabulated. Adverse event data are collected throughout the study period from the time of enrollment through the final follow-up visit.
Proportion of Correctly Identified Photos by Blinded Reviewers	12 weeks post final treatment	Change in the treated vs. untreated areas will be assessed by observation of changes in surface contour and/or fat volume by an independent photo review of pre-treatment and post-treatment images. All reviewers will be blinded to post-treatment vs. baseline untreated area. The order in which images will be presented will be randomized; for each subject placement of the baseline, pre-treatment image will be randomized for each pair of subject images. Reviewers will be asked to select the baseline photos for each subject photo series and record selections on a data collection form. Note: Due to the inconsistency of site photographic practices, the photos were not reasonably evaluable and therefore the independent phot review was not conducted.
