TDC has developed a tube bypass that can be inserted into the stomach outlet on an outpatient basis during a gastroscopy (under sedation) and left in place for 6 months. The mechanism of action is similar to that of bypass surgery, but it does not require surgery and leaves no permanent changes.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

This therapy is particularly suitable for people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. For the clinical trial, we are therefore looking for patients with a BMI > of 30 or higher and poorly controlled HbA1c > of 7.0 or higher.
As part of the study, the sponsor will cover all costs<\/strong>, and participants will receive intensive care for up to 4 weeks after the procedure. Eight hospitals<\/a> nationwide are participating in the study. <\/p>\n

This is a 60-centimeter-long, very thin-walled tube system that is inserted into the pylorus and the upper small intestine during a gastroscopy, where it remains for 6 months before being removed the same way.<\/p>\n

It creates a situation that is familiar and proven from the field of surgery and from a previous product, but without surgery and without causing any permanent changes to your body.<\/p>\n

Trans-Duodenal Barrier \u2013 How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#6C686A” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”Open Sans||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#C6361B” width=”70%” width_tablet=”70%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”9px||11px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The TD-Barrier lines the upper small intestine in such a way that food can pass through without coming into contact with the mucous membrane. As a result, the body absorbs fewer nutrients, and insulin metabolism and blood sugar levels, in particular, are significantly improved. <\/p>\n

Weight loss is also expected. Because the tube system is secured at the outlet of the stomach with two soft ring balloons, food is expected to remain in the stomach longer, triggering a lasting feeling of fullness. <\/p>\n

To participate in the study, you must carefully read and sign the informed consent form. In addition to a pre-study examination, the insertion of the TD-Barrier via gastroscopy, and its removal, you will be asked to come to the clinic for three follow-up examinations. Four weeks after removal, you will be contacted by phone to discuss your condition. <\/p>\n

Since this is a new type of product, there is not yet sufficient clinical experience with it. Possible complications include the implant slipping out of place, pain, or severe, persistent nausea. In all of these cases, the implant must be removed endoscopically. (More detailed information can be found in the informed consent form.) <\/p>\n

Study participants generally have the advantage that their treatment is monitored very closely.
