About this study

Official title: Johnson and Johnson Ethicon Metabolomics of RYGB With Gastrostomy

This study is an investigation of the "metabolomics of RYGB with gastrostomy."

Read the detailed description

The rapid and durable remission of type II diabetes mellitis following the gastric bypass operation challenges the current concepts about the etiology of the disease. The surgery, which excludes food from the stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum, is quickly followed by a durable drop in glucose and insulin levels. As a result, 4 out of 5 diabetic, morbidly obese individuals who undergo the operation return to a long-term euglycemia with a prolongation of life and a reduction of health care costs.

The investigators at East Carolina University and those at Johnson and Johnson propose to further complete the profile of the upper gut by extending their observation to three additional human models. The investigators will study patients having the gastric band procedure, the gastric sleeve procedure, and those who have a gastric bypass but have a PEG tube inserted later.

What participants receive

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

  • Gastric BandProcedure or surgery

    Places a band over the upper portion of the stomach.

  • Gastric SleeveProcedure or surgery

    Stapling stomach vertically to reduce size of stomach and removal of larger curve portion of the stomach

  • Gastrostomy TubeProcedure or surgery

    Tube is inserted into the stomach that delivers nutrition directly into the stomach.

Study groups in NCT00887302
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Restricted food intake without rerouting food flow cohortObese non-diabetic patients and diabetic patients undergoing gastric band surgery will be studied before they have surgery, 1 week after the band is adjusted to restrict food intake and again after they have lost the weight equal to that which gastric bypass patients loose 3 months after surgery (to match data we already have in the current study). All patients will be studied with an intravenous glucose tolerance test to measure insulin sensitivity and IV glucose-induced insulin secretion and a meal challenge to measure the secretion of metabolites and peptides.
Receives: Procedure: Gastric Band
Response to meal when a portion of the stomach is excluded from food flow cohortObese-diabetic patient undergoing gastric sleeve surgery will be studied before they have surgery, 1 week after surgery and again 3-6 months after surgery (to match data we already have in the current study). The patient will be studied with an intravenous glucose tolerance test to measure insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion and a meal challenge to measure the secretion of metabolites and peptides.
Receives: Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Response to meal when a portion of the GI tract is excluded from food flow cohortIn approximately 6 patients/year our surgeons have to insert a gastrostomy tube into the bypassed stomach of gastric bypass patients. This provides a unique opportunity to see the changes in metabolites and peptides in blood in response to a meal delivered to the bypassed stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum. Since we can not anticipate which patients will require this procedure, we cannot do tests before surgery, but we will do four tests post-operatively: (1) an IV glucose tolerance test, (2) an oral meal challenge (with Hi-cal), and (3) a meal challenge (identical to that given orally/Hi-Cal) delivered through the gastrostomy tube. Gastrostomy subjects will also have a 4) test, a 75 gram dextrose meal challenge.
Receives: Procedure: Gastrostomy Tube

What is being measured

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

  1. Metabolics of RYGB with Gastrostomy - Insulin

    The patient will be weighed after voiding. The weight will then be used to determine the amount of insulin to be administered during the minimal model. The following formulas will be used to calculate the insulin dosages:

    REGULAR INSULIN: body mass (kg) X 0.025 U

    Measured: 03/25/2009-10/12/2012

  2. Metabolics of RYGB with Gastrostomy - Glucose

    The patient will be weighed after voiding. The weight will then be used to determine the amount of glucose to be administered during the minimal model. The following formulas will be used to calculate the glucose dosages:

    GLUCOSE: mls of 50% solution of glucose= body mass (kg) X 0.3g X 2

    Measured: 03/25/2009-10/12/2012

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity, run by East Carolina University 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 6 Oct 2023. 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?

Metabolics of RYGB with Gastrostomy - Insulin (time frame: 03/25/2009-10/12/2012). 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?
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 6 Oct 2023.
