Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this post-market surveillance study is to compare the subject's weight loss and quality of life, and device safety performance of the abiliti System and the adjustable gastric banding therapies in obese to morbidly obese subjects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is intended to provide additional data regarding the performance and safety of the abiliti system in comparison to gastric banding. The composite end-point of the study is designed to provide a direct comparison of the effectiveness of the devices for the treatment of obesity while giving consideration to the safety profile for each device and their impact on patient quality of life.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

abiliti Group

Subjects will receive implanted abiliti System. The device will be activated to deliver therapy at implant. Gastric stimulation performance testing, therapy adjustment and dietary/exercise counseling will be conducted at each visit.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

abiliti system implant

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subjects will receive implanted abiliti System.

Gastric Band Group

Subjects will receive an implanted laparoscopic adjustable gastric band. The subjects will have their band adjusted following the standard of care. Dietary/exercise counseling will be conducted at each visit.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (Allergan Lap Band)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subjects will receive an implanted laparoscopic adjustable gastric band. Specific brand is at the investigator's discretion.
