an open-label extension to protocol 09-1, efficacy and safety study of the endobarrier® gastrointestinal liner system

Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes

Summary: a multi-center, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the endobarrier gastrointestinal liner system liner on glycemic control in control subjects from study #09-1 who are not treatment failures and have completed 12 months of the study.

this is an open-label extension study for subjects who participated in the control arm of study #09-1 (a randomized, multi-center, pivotal efficacy and safety study comparing the endobarrier gastrointestinal liner system vs. sham for glycemic improvement in inadequately controlled obese type 2 diabetic subjects on oral anti-diabetes agents) who are not treatment failures and completed 12 months of the study.
