Trial summary

There is evidence that gastrointestinal operations for non weight-losing purposes are beneficial for diabetes mellitus. Aiming to analyze such hypothesis, patients submitted to gastric bypass for morbid obesity, gastrectomy for gastric cancer and colectomy for colo-rectal cancer will be compared.

About this study

There is evidence that gastrointestinal operations for non weight-losing purposes are beneficial for diabetes mellitus. Aiming to analyze such hypothesis, patients submitted to gastric bypass for morbid obesity, gastrectomy for gastric cancer and colectomy for colo-rectal cancer will be compared. The end point will be changes in fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c concentration.

Read the detailed description

In a prospective protocol with retrospective information, patients (N=240) undergoing bariatric Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n=80), cancer subtotal or total gastrectomy (n=80) and right colectomy or rectosigmoidectomy (n=80) with follow-up >3 years free of disease, with or without previously impaired fasting blood glucose, will be recruited. Patients will be submitted to a questionnaire involving diet, diagnosis of diabetes and glucose-lowering drugs, body weight and other clinical items. Preoperative information available in the hospital system will be completed and current findings will be updated, including body mass index and biochemical measurements. Using the outcomes of the bariatric population as benchmark, both concerning diabetics that were ameliorated and nondiabetics that progressed to new-onset diabetes,results in the other groups will be compared. The study should answer whether gastric and colorectal surgery for cancer 1) Are beneficial for established diabetes; 2) Attenuate the conversion of normal patients to diabetes, both within a follow-up period of 3- 12 years;

What participants receive

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

  • Interview, questionnaire, updated biochemical testsOther

    Patients will be interviewed and questioned about nutritional status, diet, drugs and diagnosis/clinical course of diabetes. Routine biochemical tests will be searched and if necessary updated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fasting blood glucose

    Glucose improvement or deterioration comparing preoperative versus late postoperative value. Classification according to the American Diabetes Association

    Measured: 3-12 years change

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. HbA1c

    Same as fasting blood glucose (preoperative versus current change). Classification according to the American Diabetes Association.

    Measured: 3-12 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Prediabetes, run by University of Sao Paulo 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 25 Jan 2012. 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?

Fasting blood glucose (time frame: 3-12 years change). 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 NCT01518023, which also lists 3 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 25 Jan 2012.
