About this trial

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 UC patients undergoing colectomy with eventual IPAA.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

BMI 30-50 kg/m2 for at least 6 months prior to ESG

Diagnosis of UC with plans to undergo or who have already undergone colectomy as part of a plan to pursue eventual 3-stage ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA)

Willing to adhere to the diet and behavior modifications required for ESG

Able to follow the visit schedule

Disqualifiers

Prior gastric or bariatric surgery or other alteration to upper gastrointestinal anatomy which would preclude safe or technical performance of ESG

Current or recent (last six months) gastric or duodenal ulceration

Esophageal or gastric varices

Significant motility disorder of the esophagus or stomach

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Apollo Endoscopic Suture System

    Device

    Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), and endoscopic minimally-invasive weight loss procedure, utilizing a suturing device to reduce the stomach volume by 70-80% through the creation of sleeve. This is accomplished by a series of endoscopically placed stitches through the stomach wall.

  • Lifestyle Intervention

    Behavioral

    Low-calorie healthy diet personalized by a dietician according to individual patients' needs and conducive to weight loss. Physical activity will be encourage and assessed.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percent total body weight loss

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.

Time frame
6 months
2

Number of subjects with serious adverse events

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

Time frame
24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of early peri-operative complications

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

Time frame
1 year following procedure
2

Number of late peri-operative complications

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

Time frame
1 year following procedure
3

Change gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS)

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."

Time frame
Week 4, Week 12, Week 24, 12 months post-ileostomy takedown
4

Modified pouchitis disease activity index (mPDAI)

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.

Time frame
12 months post-ileostomy takedown
