Endoscopic weight-loss procedures for people with excess weight
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well an endoscopic (camera-based) weight-loss procedure helps people lose weight and whether it’s safe. It may be for people who are considering this approach, including some who previously had bariatric surgery but didn’t keep the weight off.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are considering an endoscopic bariatric procedure for weight loss
