About this study

Official title: Modified Duodenal Switch Procedure "Duodenal-Jejunal Bypass" (Diabetes Surgery) As A Potential Cure for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Non-Obese Patients- a Pilot Project to Validate a Prospective Randomized Control Trial

Premise: Complete resolution of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with normalization of blood glucose and HbA1c in the abscence of medication support is possible with a surgical procedure named the "Duodenal-Jejunal Bypass (DJB)" a modification of an established duodenal switch procedure and is performed utilizing the laparoscopic approach.

Read the detailed description

Hypothesis: The duodenum plays a major role in glucose homeostasis through mechanisms largely unknown at this time. Evidence of this hypothesis comes from accumulated data in bariatric surgery patients who underwent Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass or Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) with or without a Duodenal Switch. Current evidence strongly supports this hypothesis with a long term (over 10 years) Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(T2DM) resolution rate of 84-86% following the gastric bypass and over 95% for the duodenal switch.

The clinical resolution of T2DM is defined as independence of all anti-diabetic medications and maintaining a HbA1c less than 6.0. Recent rodent experiments by Francesco Rubino and subsequent human case reports by Cohen et al. supports the validity of this hypothesis. The modified procedure involved a roux-en-y bypass of the duodenum and 30-50cm of proximal jejunum, unaltering the stomach and pylorus resulted in resolution of T2DM with no weight loss in all subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Duodenal-jejunal Bypass in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Sound Shore Medical Center of Westchester at 1 site in United States.

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 15 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2015. 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 United States. 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. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Measure: Resolution of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00562029, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 21 May 2015.
