The AUDACITY Study (AllUrion Device in Adults With Clinical ObesITY) (AUDACITY)

A Prospective, Open-Label, Multi-Center, Randomized, Pivotal Safety and Efficacy Study of the Allurion Gastric Balloon System + Moderate Intensity Lifestyle Modification Therapy Program vs. Moderate Intensity Lifestyle Modification Therapy Program for the Treatment of Adults With Obesity

The objective for this clinical study is to provide FDA with clinical evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of the AGBS + moderate intensity lifestyle modification therapy program, indwell time of the AGBS inside the stomach, and outcomes at 48 weeks.

Prospective, open-label, multi-center, randomized study comparing the AGBS + moderate intensity lifestyle modification therapy program vs. moderate intensity lifestyle modification therapy program for the treatment of adults with obesity.

The AGBS is designed to promote weight loss in individuals with obesity. The AGBS includes the Allurion Balloon, which is a temporary gastric balloon that promotes weight loss in individuals with obesity. The AGBS consists of up to 2 balloons placed during a 1-year period.

%TBWL is significantly greater than Control Group mean %TBWL at 48 weeks, with a super superiority margin of 3.0%

Responder Rate (RR) dichotomized at both 5% and 10% TBWL at both 16 and 24 weeks: RR per treatment will be assessed using an exact binomial test and compared between treatments using a two-sided Fisher Exact test; p-values will be descriptive statistics.

Among those receiving a second balloon, RR dichotomized at 10% TBWL at both 40 and 48 weeks: RR per treatment will be assessed using an exact binomial test and compared between treatments using a two-sided Fisher Exact test; p-values will be descriptive statistics.

Change in BMI (kg/m2) will be calculated as: BMI at follow-up - Baseline BMI Change in BMI will be assessed using a paired t-test within each treatment group and compared between treatments using a two-group unpaired t-test; p-values will be descriptive statistics.

Change from screening/baseline in metabolic parameters at 48 weeks. These include HbA1c, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, Triglycerides and LFTs. Change in metabolic parameters will be assessed using a paired t-test within each treatment group and compared between treatments using a two-group unpaired t-test; p-values will be descriptive statistics.
