Who cannot join

  • abnormal renal function
  • significant anemia
  • difficult venous access
  • treatment with incretin mimetics or DPP IV inhibitors in the prior 3 months

About this study

Official title: Unraveling the Mechanisms of Rapid Improvement in Diabetes Following Gastric By-Pass Surgery

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanisms leading to rapid postoperative improvement in diabetes following Gastric By-Pass surgery for obesity.We will evaluate and compare the changes in glucose level, beta-cell function, and insulin resistance induced by a week of very low calorie liquid diet and those induced by a week of matched very -low calorie liquid diet occuring in the context of routine postoperative care following RYGB.

Read the detailed description

Volunteers planned to undergo RYGB will be studied during two-9 days periods of identical and controlled diet and activity, separated by a 4-10-week washout period.

Study Period #1:

This first study period is 9 days/nights long and requires you to be closely supervised at our Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC). During this time you will receive the same diet and are expected to have the same activity level you will be prescribed in the immediate post-operative period.

Wash-out period:

During this study period you are expected to return to your usual diet and exercise level.

Study Period #2:

This last study period is also 9 days/nights long, includes the EXACT same diet you have received during the first study period, and in addition you will undergo the planned gastric by-pass surgery.

Procedures during the research:

Mixed Meal Challenge test will be done four times during the entire study: days 1 and 9 for each study period. This test allows the investigators to evaluate how much insulin your body is producing and how well this insulin is processed.

Measurement of resting energy expenditure will be done four times during the entire study. This test tell us how much energy your body is burning up in a resting state.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response in Glucose AUC at Baseline vs. Following Gastric Bypass Surgery

    Changes in the glucose Area Under the Curve (AUC) calculated as the difference between the initial evaluation (test 1, assessed at day 1) and the next evaluation (test 2, assessed at day 9) of study period 1. Subjects then underwent gastric bypass surgery approximately 4-10 weeks later. In study period 2 following surgery, changes in the glucose AUC was again calculated as the difference between the initial evaluation (test 3, assessed at day 1 following surgery) and the next evaluation (test 4, assessed at day 9 following surgery). Change in AUC in study period 1 was compared to change in AUC in study period 2.

    Blood samples were collected at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 300, and 360 minutes after the ingestion of 240 mL of chocolate Boost Plus Nestle.

    Total AUC was computed using the trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  2. Response in Insulin AUC at Baseline vs Following Gastric Bypass Surgery

    Changes in the Insulin Area Under the Curve (AUC) calculated as the difference between the initial evaluation (test 1, assessed at day 1) and the next evaluation (test 2, assessed at day 9) of study period 1. Subjects then underwent gastric bypass surgery approximately 4-10 weeks later. In study period 2 following surgery, changes in the insulin AUC was again calculated as the difference between the initial evaluation (test 3, assessed at day 1 following surgery) and the next evaluation (test 4, assessed at day 9 following surgery). Change in AUC in study period 1 was compared to change in AUC in study period 2.

    Blood samples were collected at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 300, and 360 minutes after the ingestion of 240 mL of chocolate Boost Plus Nestle.

    Total AUC was computed using the trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  3. Response in Glucagon AUC at Baseline vs. Following Gastric Bypass

    Changes in the glucagon Area Under the Curve (AUC) calculated as the difference between the initial evaluation (test 1, assessed at day 1) and the next evaluation (test 2, assessed at day 9) of study period 1. Subjects then underwent gastric bypass surgery approximately 4-10 weeks later. In study period 2 following surgery, changes in the glucagon AUC was again calculated as the difference between the initial evaluation (test 3, assessed at day 1 following surgery) and the next evaluation (test 4, assessed at day 9 following surgery). Change in AUC in study period 1 was compared to change in AUC in study period 2.

    Blood samples were collected at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 300, and 360 minutes after the ingestion of 240 mL of chocolate Boost Plus Nestle.

    Total AUC was computed using the trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response in Glucose AUC at Baseline vs. Following Gastric Bypass Surgery (time frame: 4-12 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01153516, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
