Trial summary

A large number of research studies on people who were morbidly obese (extremely overweight), and had bariatric surgery (anti-obesity surgery) have shown that patients who were diabetic before surgery often experienced significant improvement in their diabetes following the surgery.

  • Despite efforts at optimal glucose control, progressive secondary complications of diabetes as defined by:
  • Retinopathy - a minimum of a three step progression using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grading system, or an equivalent progression as certified by an ophthalmologist familiar with diabetic retinopathy or
  • Nephropathy - persistent or progressive macroalbuminuria (>20 mg albumin/mmol creatinine) over at least 12 months (beginning anytime within the past two years) despite the use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) or
  • Neuropathy - persistent or progressing autonomic neuropathy (gastroparesis, postural hypotension, neuropathic bowel or bladder) or persistent or progressing severe peripheral painful neuropathy not responding to usual management (e.g., tricyclics, gabapentin, or carbamazepine)

About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery for Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Obese Patients With End Organ Damage: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

A large number of research studies on people who were morbidly obese (extremely overweight), and had bariatric surgery (anti-obesity surgery) have shown that patients who were diabetic before surgery often experienced significant improvement in their diabetes following the surgery. For some patients, blood glucose levels returned to the normal range, and they were able to stop taking all of their diabetes medications. For others, blood glucose levels improved, allowing them to reduce their diabetes medications.

This research study is being done to determine whether bariatric surgery can safely provide better control of diabetes symptoms in obese diabetics than continuing medical management (anti-diabetic drugs in combination with diet and lifestyle changes).

There are several different types of bariatric surgery currently being used to treat morbid obesity. Two of the most common techniques are gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding. This study will be comparing these two surgical techniques to treatment with a combination of drugs, diet, and lifestyle changes for control of type 2 diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and Intensive Medical Management in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diabetic control as assessed by HbA1c (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2016.
