About this study
Official title: LABS-3 Diabetes: Mechanisms for Improvement of Type 2 Diabetes Following Bariatric Surgery
The goal of this project is to examine the physical mechanisms that contribute to improvements of glucose tolerance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) following certain types of bariatric surgery.
Read the detailed description
The goal of this project is to examine the physiological mechanisms that contribute to improvements of glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) following gastric bypass Roux-en-Y bariatric surgery (GBP). The central hypotheses are: 1) that surgical changes in the anatomy of nutrient absorption achieved by GBP change incretin hormone secretion which in turn improves pancreatic islet function; and 2) that improvement in insulin secretion induced by the changes in incretin function, together with improvement in insulin resistance induced by weight loss, normalize glucose homeostasis in type 2 DM.
Funds are not available to pay for the surgery for patients, only to address research questions.

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 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 14 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites 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.
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 Nov 2012.
