Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) for weight loss in a population of obese ulcerative colitis (UC) patients undergoing colectomy with eventual Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis (IPAA) compared to counseling on diet and lifestyle interventions alone.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent total body weight loss6 months

Percent total body weight loss (%TBWL) calculated by the equation ((baseline screening weight in kilograms (kg) subtracted by follow-up weight in kg) divided by baseline screening weight in kg) times 100.

Number of subjects with serious adverse events24 months

Total number of subjects to report serious adverse event related to the ESG procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of early peri-operative complications1 year following procedure

Number of early (less than 30 days) peri-operative complications related to IPAA and ileostomy takedown clinical standard of care procedure

Number of late peri-operative complications1 year following procedure

Number of late (greater than 30 days) peri-operative complications related to IPAA and ileostomy takedown clinical standard of care procedure

Change gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS)Week 4, Week 12, Week 24, 12 months post-ileostomy takedown

ESG tolerance measured by GSRS which includes 15 items and utilizes a 7-point response scale to measure a participant's level of discomfort associated with a given GI symptom, ranging from "No discomfort at all" to "Very severe discomfort."

Modified pouchitis disease activity index (mPDAI)12 months post-ileostomy takedown

Assess overall pouch function one year following ileostomy takedown using the modified pouchitis disease activity index (mPDAI) score. The mPDAI quantitates clinical symptoms and endoscopic features (edema, granularity, friability, loss of vascular pattern, mucus exudate, and ulceration) on several separate 0-2 point scores, whereby a total score greater than or equal to 5 is indicative of pouchitis.

Durable weight loss12 months and 12 months post-ileostomy takedown

Number of subjects to achieve durable weight loss
