Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of gastric contractility modulation (GCM) stimulation using the TANTALUS System in the improvement of glycemic control measured by changes in HbA1c. Effects of GCM on weight loss and associated co-morbid conditions will also be evaluated

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center, single blind, randomized, cross-over study. Subject enrollment will continue until forty (40) eligible participants have been randomized into one of the two groups. Subjects will undergo baseline valuation (Visit 1) during which the stability of their glycemic parameters, medical treatment and medical condition will be assessed. Subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria at Visit 2 will be implanted. Approximately three days prior to their implantation, subjects will be seen for their 'pre-implant' medical evaluation (Visit 3). One week after implant (Visit 5, Week 1)subjects will be randomized into one of two groups (A and B).

"Group A" subjects will have their device programmed to deliver GCM signal including the setting of automatic eating detection parameters for the first 24 week period (Period 1). At Visit 10, (week 25 and end of Period 1), Group A subjects will have their devices turned "OFF" for the next 24 weeks period (Period 2). At Visit 15, (week 49 and end of Period 2), Group A subjects will have their devices turned "On" for the next 24 weeks period (Period 3) "Group B" subjects will not have their device activated for the first 24 weeks (Period 1) of their study. At Visit 10 (week 25 end of Period 1), Group B subjects devices will have their device turned "ON" (i.e. activated to deliver CGM signals) for the 24 weeks period (Period 2). At Visit 15, (week 49 and end of Period 2), Group B subjects will have their devices turned "OFF" for the next 24 weeks period (Period 3).

Study Groups

GCM stimulation

The patient will be implanted with a gastric contractility modulation (GCM) stimulation system using the TANTALUS System for treatment of type 2 diabetic patients.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Tantalus System

Intervention Type: DEVICE

The TANTALUS System is an active implantable device, generating Gastric contractility modulation (GCM) stimulation for the treatmnet of type 2 diabetes

Device off
