About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether the RESET System safely improves blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity whose blood sugar is not well controlled. It compares RESET with a sham, or pretend, treatment. Both groups receive lifestyle and food counseling and diabetes care.
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).
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Be 22 to 65 years old and have type 2 diabetes.
- Have an HbA1c of 7.5% to 10%. This blood test measures average blood sugar.
- Have a BMI of 30 to 50. BMI is a measure of weight compared with height.
- Still have an HbA1c of 7.5% or higher after taking two diabetes medicines at stable doses for at least 3 months.
- Understand and sign the consent form, and be willing and able to follow study rules.
- Have at least 1 year of medical records, including medicine names and doses.
- If able to become pregnant, have a negative pregnancy test and use approved birth control throughout participation, including after device removal.
- Not plan to become pregnant during study participation.
Who can't join
- Past RESET treatment, or digestive tract surgery or unusual anatomy that could prevent the RESET liner from being placed or working.
- Type 1 diabetes, any past ketoacidosis (dangerous acid buildup), or a severe blood sugar emergency needing another person's help in the past 6 months.
- Certain liver diseases, kidney function below the study limit, past pancreatitis (swelling of the pancreas), or a past abscess needing hospital care, IV antibiotics, or drainage.
- Certain digestive problems, such as Crohn's disease, active H. pylori infection, recent ulcers or bleeding, or recent acid reflux unless treated with an allowed medicine.
- Past heart attack, stroke, hospital stay for heart failure, irregular heartbeat, or unstable chest pain; recent new or worsening heart artery disease symptoms; or high risk from general anesthesia.
- Use of certain medicines or supplements, including blood thinners, steroids, some acid reflux drugs, weight-loss drugs, and products that raise bleeding risk.
- Loss of 5% of body weight in the past 3 months; blood donation or transfusion within 90 days before starting lab tests; or another experimental study within 3 months of screening.
- Other study limits also apply, including certain lab results, bone or thyroid problems, bleeding disorders, infections, metal allergies, and difficulty following study visits or using phone and internet services.
