Clinical trials

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of RF vapor ablation of the proximal intestinal mucosa. This study will test the hypothesis that RF vapor ablation will result in improvement in glycemic parameters, without Serious Adverse Events (SAE) or Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADE).

The purpose of this clinical study is to test the hypothesis that RF vapor ablation of the duodenal mucosa will result in improvement in glycemic parameters, without complications (bleeding/ stricture / perforation). The main aims of the study are : 1. Evaluate the safety of the device and procedure based on the reported adverse events that occur. 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of the device and procedure by comparing change in HbA1c from baseline to 168 days post procedure. 3. Evaluate device tolerability based on pain scores reported by patients. The subject population for this study are adults (18-65 years of age) with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Study participation is 6 months for each patient. The study is comprised of 5 phases: Screening, Run-in, RF Vapor ablation procedure, and Post-vapor ablation follow-up (up to 168 days), Identification and long term follow up of responders
