This trial tests a combined procedure that uses stomach stapling (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty) plus ablation of the stomach lining to help with weight loss. It is for people with obesity who have not been able to lose weight with diet, exercise, or medication alone.
This trial tests a procedure to help people who have regained weight after a sleeve gastrectomy. It uses a special technique to treat the stomach lining and may help you lose weight again.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure done through the mouth (no surgery) that reshapes the stomach to help with weight loss. It combines two techniques to reduce stomach function and may help people lose weight without traditional bariatric surgery.
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.
This trial tests whether an endoscopic procedure that cuts a stomach outlet muscle can help with weight loss and be safe. You would be screened to make sure you don’t have certain stomach, heart/lung, or pregnancy-related conditions that could make the procedure unsafe.
