About this study

LBMI-001 is a multi-center, prospective, longitudinal, non-randomized study whose purpose is to determine whether the LAP-BAND system is safe and effective in subjects with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2. Primary and secondary outcome measures were analyzed at 1 year post LAP-BAND implantation. Subjects continued to be followed for 5 years post-implantation, and 5 year data was evaluated in Post-Hoc outcome measures.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Have a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and < 35 kg/m2 (with or without comorbid conditions) or a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2 without severe comorbid conditions
  • Have a history of obesity for at least 2 years and have failed more conservative weight-reduction alternatives, such as supervised diet, exercise and behavior modification programs

Exclusion criteria

  • Subject history of congenital or acquired anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract
  • Severe cardiopulmonary or other serious or uncontrolled organic disease
  • Severe coagulopathy; hepatic insufficiency or cirrhosis

  • History of intestinal obstruction or adhesive peritonitis
  • History of esophageal dysmotility disorders
  • Type I diabetes

Treatment and study plan

LAP-BAND System

Device

Reduction of food intake due to creation of smaller stomach pouch

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent of Subjects Attaining Clinically Successful Weight Loss ( ≥ 30% EWL) at 1 Year Post LAP-BAND Implantation

    Time frame: One year

    The percent of subjects attaining clinically successful weight loss at 1 year post LAP-BAND implantation. Clinically successful weight loss was defined as ≥ 30% Excess Weight Loss (%EWL), where %EWL was weight loss divided by excess weight multiplied by 100.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Weight Loss

    Time frame: Baseline through 12 months

    Percent weight loss was defined as weight loss divided by baseline weight, multiplied by 100. Weight loss was equal to baseline weight minus the follow-up visit weight. Excess weight = baseline weight minus ideal weight, where ideal weight was determined based on a BMI of 25 kg/m2.

  2. Change in Comorbid Conditions Related to Obesity

    Time frame: 12 months

    Percent of subjects whose baseline comorbid condition of Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension resolved (i.e., was rated as "none" on a severity scale of none, mild, moderate, or severe) 12 months after implantation.

  3. Change in Quality of Life

    Time frame: 12 months

    Change in quality of life was assessed using the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) Total Score, which ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). The mean change from baseline to 12 months in IWQOL-Lite Total Score is reported.
