Trial Outcomes & Findings for Non-invasive Cooling of Subcutaneous Fat (NCT NCT00762307)

NCT ID: NCT00762307

Last Updated: 2021-06-09

Results Overview

The change in fat layer thickness as demonstrated by measurement of fat layer layer thickness using ultrasound images taken in the treated area and on the contralateral flank (control) at baseline and at the 6 month follow-up. Data collected on the untreated side and the treated side will be combined to determine the normalized change in fat layer thickness for each subject. The mean percent fat layer reduction across all treatment groups will be presented, as well as for each treatment group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: The population includes only subjects with evaluable ultrasound data ( \>3 valid images at 6 month follow up visit). Group 1 exclusions: 2 Lost To Follow Up and 6 not evaluable; Group 2 exclusions: 1 not evaluable; Group 3 exclusions: 3 not evaluable; Group 4 exclusions: 1 not evaluable and 1 withdrawn from study by Investigator.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months post-treatment follow-up visit

Population: 56 subjects completed the questionnaire; 2 subjects were LTFU, 1 subject failed to complete the questionnaire and 1 subject was withdrawn from the study by the Investigator. Four (4) subjects did not respond to one question on the questionnaire; 1 subject did not respond to another question on the questionnaire.

Subject satisfaction as determined by the completion of a questionnaire at the 6 month follow-up visit, and, as requested, any other follow-up visits.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: The analysis population included subjects who had evaluable photos from baseline and the 6 month final follow-up visit. Subjects who did not maintain their weight per protocol requirements were excluded from analysis.

Change in the treated vs. untreated areas will be assessed for changes in surface contour and/or fat volume by an independent photo review of pre-treatment and post-treatment images of the control and treated flanks. Reviewers will be practicing dermatologists. All reviewers will be blinded to post-treatment vs. baseline and/or untreated flank. The order in which images will be presented will be randomized; for each subject placement of the baseline, pre-treatment image will be randomized for each pair of subject images. Reviewers will be asked to select the baseline photos for each subject photo series and record selections on a data collection form.Criteria for evaluable photos for the purposes of the independent review: subject completed treatment regimen; subject has complete set of baseline photos; subject has a complete set of post-treatment photos; photos were taken using Zeltiq standard procedure. Results reflect the percentage of correctly identified images.
