Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes and a BMI between 30-34.9 kg/m².

Patients with type I diabetes, severe kidney issues, or contraindications to the endomina® device may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of the endomina® device for endoscopic gastric reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes and class I obesity. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the endoscopic treatment combined with standard care or standard care alone. The primary goal is to determine the impact of this intervention on diabetes remission after 24 months. The study aims to provide insights into a potential new treatment option for managing diabetes in this patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved diabetes management and weight loss for patients with class I obesity.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar endoscopic approaches for obesity and diabetes management, indicating potential for success.
