Conditions
Obesity
Type 2 Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT07085741
Lead Sponsor
GT Metabolic Solutions, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the feasibility / performance, safety and initial efficacy of the GT Metabolic Solutions DI Biofragmentable Magnetic Anastomosis System (MAGNET System, DI Biofragmentable) for creation of a side-to-side anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy in obese adults.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the feasibility/performance, safety and initial efficacy of the GT Metabolic Solutions DI Biofragmentable Magnetic Anastomosis System (MAGNET System, DI Biofragmentable) for creation of a side-to-side anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy in obese adults. This partial diversion of intestinal contents from duodenum to the ileum is intended to facilitate weight management/loss in obese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improve metabolic outcomes in obese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Side-by side- anastomoses are currently created by sutures, staples, and anastomotic compression devices. A predicate procedure is the single-anastomosis duodeno- ileostomy (SADI) procedure.

  17. Woman who is either pregnant or breast feeding
  18. Woman of childbearing potential who does not agree to use an effective method of contraception.
  19. Any comorbidity or current status of subject's physiological fitness that in the surgeon's or anesthesiologist's opinion represents safety concerns that make the subject medically unfit for the procedure, including any significant congenital or acquired anomalies of the GI tract at or distal to the placement of the magnets.
  20. Unhealed ulcers, bleeding lesions, tumor, or any other lesion at target magnet deployment site
  21. Expected need for MR imaging within the first 2 months after the procedure
  22. Any anomaly preventing/contraindicating endoscopic or laparoscopic access and procedures

  31. Limited life expectancy due to terminal disease
  32. Currently participating in another clinical research study with an investigational drug or medical device
  33. A positive COVID-19 test prior to the study procedure in accordance with local COVID-19 protocol
  34. Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, may preclude completion of follow-up assessments through Day 360 (e.g., a medical condition that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with interpretation of study results, inability to adhere to the visit schedule, or poor compliance with treatment regimen)
