Trial Outcomes & Findings for Tissue Optimization on Cryolipolysis Procedures for Fat Layer Reduction (NCT NCT01728857)

NCT ID: NCT01728857

Last Updated: 2025-03-19

Results Overview

Photographs of the treatment areas were taken at baseline, and at 16-weeks after the first treatment with the ZELTIQ System were assessed for any visual changes. The photographs were assessed by blinded independent reviewers (IPR) to correctly identify the 16-weeks post-treatment photographs from randomly placed side-by-side comparison of before and after photographs. Reported here is the percentage (%) of images that were correctly identified by at least 2 out of 3 blinded independent reviewers.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 16

Population: Per-protocol Population included all the treated participants followed for 16 weeks post-treatment with weight change of no more than five pounds at the Week 16 visit. Here, 'Overall Number of Participants Analyzed' is the number of participants evaluable for this Endpoint.

Photographs of the treatment areas were taken at baseline, and at 16-weeks after the first treatment with the ZELTIQ System were assessed for any visual changes. The photographs were assessed by blinded independent reviewers (IPR) to correctly identify the 16-weeks post-treatment photographs from randomly placed side-by-side comparison of before and after photographs. Reported here is the percentage (%) of images that were correctly identified by at least 2 out of 3 blinded independent reviewers.
