About this trial

Compare use of the Magnet System in side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy (Surgery) with semaglutide (Medication).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30 - 40 kg/m2 and qualifies for obesity treatment at the discretion of the treating investigator (i.e., must be assessed to qualify for both surgery and medication treatment to justify randomization).

Type 2 diabetes (T2D defined as HbA1c ≥ 6.5%).

Participant agrees to refrain from additional metabolic and bariatric (MBS) or reconstructive surgery that would affect body weight for the duration of the study.

Participant agrees to refrain from taking any additional semaglutide-containing or other GLP-1RA medication for the duration of the study, regardless of randomization assignment (i.e., Surgery or Medication).

Disqualifiers

Meets any of the contraindications for either treatment arm (Surgery: Magnet System; or Medication: semaglutide), thereby prohibiting randomization

Current or previous metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) treatment in the previous 12 months (e.g., sleeve gastrectomy, intragastric balloons, adjustable gastric banding).

Taking or treated with semaglutide, semaglutide-containing medications, or any other GLP-1RA medication in the previous 12 months.

Pregnant, lactating or planning pregnancy during the clinical study and follow-up period.
