About

A Randomized, Multi-Center, Pivotal Efficacy and Safety Study Evaluating the RESET System for Glycemic Improvement in Patients with Inadequately Controlled Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity, the STEP-1 Study.

A multi-center, double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the RESET System plus moderate intensity lifestyle and dietary counseling compliant with 2024 ADA Standard of Care as compared to a sham control receiving moderate intensity lifestyle and dietary counseling. Both the treatment and sham group will practice medical management compliant with STEP-1 Study Guidelines. Patients will be randomized 3 (RESET):1 (Sham).

Full description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the RESET System when used with moderate intensity lifestyle and dietary counseling and medical management, in patients with baseline HbA1c ≥ 7.5% and ≤10%, and BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and ≤ 50kg/m2, whose diabetes medications consist of at least dual therapy for 3 months, yet have not achieved adequate HbA1c control (<7.5%).

Specific objectives of this study are:

1. To determine if the RESET System significantly improves glycemic control
2. To determine that the RESET System can be safely used to improve glycemic control

Enrollment: 264 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 22 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
