Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Obesity
Registration Number
NCT01728116
Lead Sponsor
Morphic Medical Inc.
Brief Summary

To determine if the EndoBarrier safely and effectively improves glycemic control in obese subjects with type 2 diabetes

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double blinded, prospective study. Subjects will be evaluated and randomized to either the device or sham treatment group if they qualify for the study. A comparison of glycemic control between the two groups will be assessed as the primary outcome measurement as well as the safety profile of the device.
