ORBERA365 Post-Marketing Clinical Follow-up Study

A Prospective, Multicenter, Open-label, Post-approval Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of ORBERA365 As a 12-month Adjunct to Weight Reduction for Obese Adults or Pre-surgical Weight Reduction for Obese or Super-obese Adults

A prospective, multicenter, open-label, post-approval study of the safety and effectiveness of ORBERA36 as a 12-month adjunct to weight reduction for obese adults (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 and BMI ≤ 50 kg/m2) or for pre-surgical weight reduction in obese and super-obese adults (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 or ≥ 35 kg/m2 with comorbidities).

This is a prospective, multicenter, open label study of the safety and effectiveness of ORBERA365™ for use as an adjunct to behavioral modification for obese adults (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 and BMI ≤ 50 kg/m2) or for pre-surgical weight reduction in obese and super-obese adults (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 or ≥ 35 kg/m2 with comorbidities). All study subjects will participate in a behavioral modification program for 52 weeks, which will include a low calorie diet as well as nutritional and behavior modification counseling. Subjects will have ORBERA365™ placed for up to 52 weeks.

Evaluations while on treatment will be performed at baseline (pre-placement), Day 0 (ORBERA365 placement) and during monthly clinic visits during the 1st 6 months of device therapy and at months 9 and ORBERA365 removal. All subjects will have a final study visit at 12 months, or study exit, whichever comes first. Device removal will occur at 52 unless removed early by subject request and/or physician recommendation. Reasons for early removal may include, but are not limited to, adverse events, subject dissatisfaction or achievement of weight loss goal.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male and female adult subjects;
2. BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 and ≤ 50 kg/m2 if treatment is for temporary use for weight loss in subjects who failed to achieve and maintain weight loss with a supervised weight-control program;
3. BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 or ≥ 35 kg/m2 with comorbidities, if treatment is for pre-surgical temporary use for weight loss in order to reduce surgical risk
4. Be willing to commit to a long-term supervised diet and behavior modification program designed to increase the possibility of long-term weight loss maintenance;
5. Be able to follow the requirements outlined in the protocol, including complying with the visit schedule;
6. Be able to provide written informed consent;

15. Genetically caused obesity;
16. Prior intragastric balloon therapy, bariatric surgery or considering bariatric surgery during the study;
17. Has a condition or is in a situation which in the Investigator's opinion may put the subject at significant risk or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation in the study.
18. Known gastrointestinal motility disorders, especially known delayed gastric emptying
19. Chronic use of anticholinergic medications and psychotropic medications known to delay gastric emptying.
