About this study

Official title: Lightening the Hormonal Mechanisms of Surgical Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Duodenal Exclusion Surgery

Diabetes reversion is observed after bariatric surgeries even before significant weight loss could explain it, mainly in predominantly malabsorptive procedures (98,9% for biliopancreatic diversion or duodenal switch), followed by those combining malabsorption and gastric restriction (83,7% for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). Changes in the hormonal communication between the digestive system and the pancreas would explain the antidiabetogenic role of the surgery, so this effect could be obtained in nonobese, diabetic individuals.

In order to try this hypothesis, RUBINO and MARESCAUX (2004) studied the gastrojejunal bypass (duodenal exclusion)in an mouse model of diabetes without obesity. In their technique the stomach volume is kept intact, maintaining the caloric ingestion and the weight of the animals. There was a fast improvement of diabetes, independent of diet and weight, without the potential nutritional deprivations commonly seen in the bariatric surgery like iron and vitamin deficiency.

This study will evaluate the mechanisms of amelioration of type 2 diabetes mellitus after duodenal exclusion surgery in human non-obese, diabetic volunteers and known insulin secretion capacity, by the method of standardized meal stimulus. It is expected to be secondary to changes in the gastrointestinal hormones that stimulate insulin secretion (incretins).

The knowledge about the clinical outcomes of this technique in humans and the description of the secretion pattern of gastrointestinal hormones after the surgery may contribute to the implementation of this surgery as a new therapeutic option for overweight (non-obese) diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

There is large recovery of insulin sensibility after bariatric surgery, as the patients get closer to ideal weight. Diabetes reversion is more frequent after predominantly malabsorptive procedures (98,9% for biliopancreatic diversion or duodenal switch), followed by those combining malabsorption and gastric restriction (83,7% for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). Glycemia normalization occurs in an early phase of the postoperative period, even before significant weight loss could explain it. These techniques have in common a bypass of the duodenum and part of the jejunum. Many peptides are released in this segments that regulate pancreatic beta cells (insulin producers) either in physiological state or in diabetes. Anatomical-functional changes in the enteroinsular axis would explain the antidiabetogenic role of the surgery, so this effect could be obtained in nonobese, diabetic individuals.

In order to try this hypothesis, RUBINO and MARESCAUX (2004) studied the gastrojejunal bypass (duodenal exclusion)in Goto-Kakizaki mice (GK), the most used animal model of diabetes without obesity. In their technique the stomach volume is kept intact, maintaining the caloric ingestion and the weight of the animals. There was a fast improvement of diabetes, independent of diet and weight. The authors concluded that this procedure should be applied in humans for reversal of diabetes without the potential nutritional deprivations commonly seen in the bariatric surgery like iron and vitamin deficiency.

The amelioration of diabetes after bariatric surgery is related to the modulation of production of gastrointestinal hormones relevant to the insulin production (incretin effect).

This study will evaluate the mechanisms of amelioration of type 2 diabetes mellitus after duodenal exclusion surgery in human non-obese, diabetic volunteers and known insulin secretion capacity, by the method of standardized meal stimulus. It is expected to be secondary to changes in the gastrointestinal hormones that stimulate insulin secretion (incretins).

The knowledge about the clinical outcomes of this technique in humans and the description of the secretion pattern of gastrointestinal hormones after the surgery may contribute to the implementation of this surgery as a new therapeutic option for overweight (non-obese) diabetic patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Duodenal exclusion surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Also called Duodeno-jejunal exclusion, Duodenal-jejunal bypass

    Under open laparotomy, a duodenum section 2cm below the pylorus and a jejunum section below Treitz's Angle to create an excluded biliopancreatic limb of 150cm. A Roux-in-Y retrocolic anastomosis of the alimentary limb promotes the gastrojejunal continuity and the anastomosis of the excluded biliopancreatic limb is done 100cm below the jejunal-pyloric union.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Duodenal exclusion surgery in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 1 site in Brazil.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 Jul 2010. 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Improvement or reversal of type 2 diabetes mellitus (time frame: 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, six months and one year.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00566358, which also lists 2 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 Jul 2010.
