A Novel Approach to Weight Loss in Women Over 50 Years: Insights from RESET Study with a Shape-Shifting Hydrogel Capsule

Epitomee is exited that our sixth RESET publication, titled “A Novel Approach to Weight Loss in Women Over 50 Years: Insights from the RESET Study with a Shape-Shifting Hydrogel Capsule,” is now available online. (We now have total of 8 peer review publications).

The paper has been accepted for publication in Diabetes Technology & Obesity Medicine, and you can find the link below, along with a PDF copy.

We have the following HCP co-authors on this important paper leading by Professor Srivastava (leading endocrinologist), Professor Diker (

leading endocrinologist), Krychman (leading Obstetrics and Gynecology)  Golden (Leading NP) and  Dehn (Leading NP and expert in women health).

This publication marks the successful completion of a journey that began with the RESET-ELECT clinical studies and has evolved into six key

publications covering:

  1. General efficacy and safety (Ard et al.)
  2. Cardiometabolic risk factors (Bays et al.)
  3. Early responders (Jakicic et al.)
  4. Quality of life (Kusnier et al.)
  5. ELECT efficacy and safety extension (Kamar et al.)
  6. Women over 50 years (Srivastava et al.)

Why this paper is so important?

Weight gain during and after menopause is a major women’s health challenge, increasing cardiometabolic risk while becoming harder to manage

due to hormonal and metabolic changes. In this RESET sub-analysis, women ≥50 treated with the Epitomee capsule achieved 7.6% weight loss

  1. 4.4% with placebo at 24 weeks, with 63% achieving ≥5% and 29% achieving ≥10% weight loss, alongside significant improvements in BMI category

from baseline to week 24.

Importantly, with a safety profile comparable to placebo and no serious device-related adverse events, Epitomee may offer a valuable non-pharmacologic weight management tool for this underserved population.
