Trial summary

In many studies, gastric bypass surgery led to total remission of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as early as 1 - 2 days after surgery before any real weight loss has occurred. This suggests that the remission of the T2DM is due to the direct effect of the operation, more than the secondary effect of the weight loss. Read more about this study

About this study

In many studies, gastric bypass surgery led to total remission of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as early as 1 - 2 days after surgery before any real weight loss has occurred. This suggests that the remission of the T2DM is due to the direct effect of the operation, more than the secondary effect of the weight loss. The reasons for the major effect on the glucose metabolism after gastric bypass surgery are still unaccounted for.

The aim of this project will be to unveil some of the mechanisms that explain the effect of gastric bypass surgery on the glucose metabolism. Further more to find a better way of testing patients that have just undergone gastric bypass surgery. It is not possible to test patients who have just undergone gastric bypass surgery with normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and a normal meal, because patients can only take in fluid and a normal OGTT will often lead to dumping. Instead we will try to modify these tests - OGTT with lower glucose level and meal-testing with a protein drink.

The hypothesis of the study is that the investigators can see changes in different hormones and adipokines before and after surgery, even with modified OGTT and meal testing. The project will consist of clinical trials on patients without T2DM that will undergo gastric bypass surgery. The studies will take place before and within the first week after surgery. The investigators will measure different hormones and adipokines after OGTT and a meal with a protein drink. The investigators expect to see significant changes in some of the analyses after the operation in patients undergoing gastric bypass.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Bypass and Obesity, run by Hvidovre University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 8 Jul 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 Denmark. 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 8 Jul 2011.
