Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of an implanted device that stimulates the stomach to help obese patients lose weight.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of the IGS system in a population of patients with a BMI between 35 and 55 kg/m2. SHAPE was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center pivotal study in which all subjects were implanted with the IGS system.

Interventions

DEVICETranscend II Model 8848

All subjects will be implanted with the IGS device and then randomized to on or off for 12 months. After 12 months all subjects will be turned on through 24 month follow up.
