RECRUITING

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) for the Treatment of Obesity

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) for the treatment of obesity. The ESG procedure is an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved procedure for the treatment of obesity - patients with a body mass index (BMI) 30-50 kg/m2. This procedure is FDA approved; however, Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP)-Accredited centers (such as Houston Methodist Hospital) must receive approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in order to perform primary procedures, such as ESG, that are not endorsed by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Patients with BMI 30 to 50 kg/m2
  2. * Patients that have been unable able to lose weight, or maintain weight loss, through more conservative measures (i.e., lifestyle interventions including diet and exercise) per the FDA approval for the Apollo ESG device. Lifestyle interventions may include traditional diet and anaerobic or aerobic exercise, including resistance training.

  5. * Neoplastic lesions (i.e., esophageal, gastric, or small bowel cancer)
  6. * Hiatal hernia \>5 cm
  7. * Severe coagulopathy and antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy that cannot be corrected
  8. * Psychiatric disorders not assessed or cleared by a psychologist or psychiatrist actively participating in that patient's care (i.e., affective disorders not under medical supervision or refractory to medical therapy and all eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, specified feeding and eating disorders, avoidant restrictive food intake, and rumination)
  9. * Patients with endoscopic interventions that are contraindicated
