Trial summary

Bariatric surgery can lead to improvement or even resolution of type 2 diabetes in about 80% of patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGP). Otherwise, many patients experienced no resolution of their diabetes despite massive surgical-induced weight loss. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Long Term Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Diabetes: Comparison Between Patients With or Without Diabetes Recovery.

Bariatric surgery can lead to improvement or even resolution of type 2 diabetes in about 80% of patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGP). Otherwise, many patients experienced no resolution of their diabetes despite massive surgical-induced weight loss. There appears to be a variable response to surgery depending on surgical and patient factors. To explore potential factors affecting diabetes outcomes after RYGP, this study is proposed to make a description of effects of surgical procedures on incretin, insulin production and sensitivity and a comparison between patients with or without remission of Type 2 Diabetes.

Read the detailed description

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.

To explore potential factors affecting diabetes outcomes after RYGP, this study is proposed to make a description of effects of surgical procedures on incretin, insulin production and sensitivity and a comparison between patients with or without remission of Type 2 Diabetes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Describe the endogenous response of incretins, orexins and anorexins to a mixed meal test in obese patients with DM2, in patients with DM2 undergoing RYGB with remission of DM2 and in patients without remission.

    Measured: 2 years after RYGB

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Bariatric Surgery, 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 4 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 11 Aug 2011. 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.

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?

Describe the endogenous response of incretins, orexins and anorexins to a mixed meal test in obese patients with DM2, in patients with DM2 undergoing RYGB with remission of DM2 and in patients without remission. (time frame: 2 years after RYGB). 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 NCT00834938, 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 11 Aug 2011.
