  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult males and females who meet the following inclusion criteria will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study:
  • Diagnosis of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) confirmed by the following criteria:

Show all 11Show fewer
  • History of T2DM for not longer than 8 years, as long-standing disease beyond 8 years correlates with failure to achieve diabetes resolution after gastric bypass

  • Enrollment in another clinical study, which involves an investigational drug
  • Diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus or other genetic forms of Diabetes Mellitus
  • Significant renal failure of chronic liver disease (except NAFLD)

Show all 16Show fewer
  • Previous gastric or esophageal surgery
  • Immunosuppressive drugs including corticosteroids
  • Coagulopathy defined as an INR > 1.5 or platelet count < 50,000/µl
  • Anemia defined as a Hb <10.0 g/dl
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases or other medical condition that would serve as a contraindication to gastric bypass (eg. celiac sprue, pancreatic insufficiency)
  • A severe concurrent illness that is likely to limit life or require extensive systemic treatment (e.g. cancer)

About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Pilot Prospective Study in Overweight and Mildly Obese Subjects

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) in controlling diabetes in subjects with mild obesity (BMI 26-35). The primary endpoint will be the reduction of HbA1c (< 7%), a standard measure of diabetes control; the secondary endpoints will be changes blood sugar , vitamin levels, insulin, c-peptide, and lipids levels, as well as retinal eye examinations, urinalysis to assess kidney function, carotid ultrasound as a marker of cardiovascular function, and alterations in diabetic medications. Fifty subjects with medically documented type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with BMIs between 26 and 35 will undergo standard laparoscopic RYGB. Prior and after surgery, the subjects will undergo a clinical evaluation in regard to the primary and secondary endpoints listed. The pre-surgery evaluation is directed toward establishing the existence of diabetes related complications prior to surgery. After surgery subjects will be closely monitored for complications and required changes in their diabetes management. Repeat assessments will be made at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and at two years.

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint will be the reduction of HbA1c and secondary endpoints will be multiple associated parameters as listed below. A group of 50 subjects with medically documented T2DM and BMI of 26-35 will undergo standard laparoscopic RYGB. Prior to surgery, the subjects will undergo the standard pre-operative work up required for conventional bariatric surgery. This includes full history and physical exam, medical/cardiac clearances as needed, nutrition consultation and a gastrointestinal consultation for upper endoscopy. After thorough explanation an approved informed consent will be signed. Baseline parameters, as listed below, will be measured for each subject to identify possible complications of diabetes prior to the surgical intervention..

After surgery perioperative complications will be monitored and required modifications of diabetes management advised. Followed up measurements at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months is consistent with standard clinical practice guidelines. Data analysis will be ongoing to observe the effects of the surgical intervention on glucose homeostasis.

What participants receive

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

  • Gastric bypass for diabetic patients <35 BMIProcedure or surgery

    Also called gastric bypass surgery

    The operation is performed under general anesthesia. It is done laparoscopically, meaning that several small openings are made in the abdomen for insertion of long, thin surgical instruments, one with an attached camera. The operation is video monitored. The top of the stomach is divided across, leaving a small pouch for food. The rest of the stomach remains but can receive no food. The gut is divided just past the stomach, and it is attached to the small stomach pouch so that food can get back into the bowel. A second connection is made so that the bile and digestive juices pass into the bowel with the food.
