Treatment and study plan

The ZELTIQ System

Device

The CoolSculpting System will be used to perform the treatments with the CoolAdvantage family of applicators.

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Correctly Identified Photos by Blinded Reviewers

    Time frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post-treatment

    Change in the treated vs. untreated areas will be assessed by observation of changes in surface contour and/or fat volume by an independent photo review of pre-treatment and post-treatment images. Reviewers will be practicing dermatologists or plastic surgeons. All reviewers will be blinded to post-treatment vs. baseline untreated area. The order in which images will be presented will be randomized; for each subject placement of the baseline, pre-treatment image will be randomized for each pair of subject images. Reviewers will be asked to select the baseline photos for each subject photo series and record selections on a data collection form. The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was the correct identification of baseline (pre-treatment) vs. 12 weeks post-final treatment images by two out of three blinded, independent reviewers. Success was defined as at least 70% correct identification of the baseline (pre-treatment) photographs.

  2. Safety of the Zeltiq Device

    Time frame: 12 week post-treatment

    The incidence of unanticipated adverse device effects will be measured. It is expected there will be zero UADEs.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Subject Satisfaction

    Time frame: 12 weeks post-treatment

    Subject satisfaction with the Zeltiq procedure as determined by positive responses in a subject satisfaction questionnaire administered at the 12 weeks post-treatment visit. This questionnaire will be composed of 5-point Likert scale questions, as well as free-text responses, with lower numbers (e.g. 1 or 2) indicating positive responses and higher numbers indicating less positive responses.
