Systematic review of 11 studies involving 2,107
patients reports average weight reduction of 12.5% with significant
improvements in metabolic health
Allurion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ALUR), a company dedicated to
ending obesity, today announced the publication of a systematic
review and meta-analysis evaluating the effectiveness and safety of
the Allurion Program. The analysis reviewed studies conducted
between 2016 and 2024 and included data from 11 observational
studies comprising a total of 2,107 patients.
The results of the meta-analysis demonstrated a mean weight
reduction of 12.5% and significant reduction in body mass index
(BMI) of 4.75 kg/m2 at four months. Importantly, the analysis also
confirmed the safety of the Allurion Balloon, with a rate of
serious adverse events reported of just 0.90%.
“The safety and effectiveness of the Allurion Balloon have been
well-established in 26 peer-reviewed journal articles and with over
150,000 patients treated around the world,” said Dr. Ram Chuttani,
Chief Medical Officer and Founding Partner of Allurion. "This new
meta-analysis not only highlights the significant reductions in BMI
and weight loss achieved by patients but also underscores the
metabolic benefits of our program."
The study’s findings are further supported by the observed
improvements in metabolic health parameters, particularly in HDL
cholesterol, triglycerides, and glycemia, indicating the
broad-reaching benefits of the Allurion Program beyond just weight
reduction.
