Trial Outcomes & Findings for EUS Guided Core Liver Biopsy and IGB Placement for the Diagnosis and Management of NASH and Obesity (NCT NCT02880189)

NCT ID: NCT02880189

Last Updated: 2022-06-15

Results Overview

Total number of subjects with two points or greater improvement on objective Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) histopathological parameters. The NAS scale can range from 0 to 8 and is calculated by the sum of scores of steatosis (0-3), lobular inflammation (0-3) and hepatocyte ballooning (0-2).

Measure
Single
All subjects will be receiving the Orbera Intragastric Balloon and will be undergoing Endoscopic Ultrasound guided core liver biopsy. Orbera Intragastric Balloon: The Orbera Intragastric Balloon will be placed in the stomach endoscopically through a catheter under conscious sedation. The procedure takes about 20 minutes to complete. The balloon will stay in place for 6 months and then it will be removed endoscopically. Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Core Liver Biopsy
