Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Minimum age
30 Years
Maximum age
60 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Unwillingness to accept the randomization process, history of previous abdominal surgery which would potentially preclude laparascopic placement of the band, a history of previous obesity surgery, any contraindication to Lap-Band placement, medical issues which contraindicated the application of either arm of the study (these would include; acute myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, dementia, active psychosis, concurrent experimental drug use, autoimmune disease, pregnancy, lactation, illicit drug use, excessive alcohol intake, use of drugs known to affect body composition, cytotoxic drugs, internal malignancy or major organ failure) , systemic lupus erythematosis or other auto-immune disease, direct hypothalamic damage as a cause of obesity, inability to understand the risks, realistic benefits and compliance requirements of the Lap-Band intervention and conventional management of diabetes, Type 1 diabetes or diabetes secondary to specific diseases foe example haemochromatosis or chronic pancreatitis.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Intervention recorded and stored in numbered, sealed opaque envelopes organized and maintained by staff member not involved in patient care or scheduling and opened in sequence as randomized.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Subjects were block randomized in groups with equal numbers in both treatment arms. The sequence within blocks was determined by drawing allocation out of a hat.
Masking / blinding
