About this study

Official title: Polymorphids and mRNA Expression in Genes, Significant for Developing Obesity and Typ II Diabetes in Different Types/Localisations of Fat Tissue

Fat tissue from omenta, thigh and abdomen taken under anesthesia on subjects undergoing laparoscopic surgery, cholecystectomy, reflux surgery or gastric by-pass (GBP).

Are there any difference in polymorphids and/or mRNA expression in genes significant for developing obesity, between normal weight and obese individuals, with or without diabetes typ 2 .

Are there any difference in polymorphids and/or mRNA expression in different types of fat tissue

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01708083
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Type 2 Diabetes and BMI>35Patients with type 2 diabetes and body mass index 35 or more.
BMI>35Patients undergoing surgery, gastric bypass or cholecystectomy, without diabetes type 2 and body mass index 35 or more
BMI 18-27Patients undergoing surgery, cholecystectomy or reflux, without type 2 diabetes and body mass index between 18-27

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in polymorphids and/or mRNA expression in genes, significant for developing obesity and type 2 diabetes, between patients with normal weight and obesity

    fat biopsy taken from abdomen, omenta and thigh at surgery

    Measured: approximatly 30 minutes after start of operation

  2. Difference in polymorphids and/or mRNA expression in different types of fat tissue in patients with normal weight or obesity with or without diabetes type 2

    fat biopsy; abdomen, omenta and thigh taken at surgery

    Measured: approximatly 30 minutes after start of operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polymorphism and mRNA Expression, run by Karolinska Institutet at 2 sites in Sweden.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 22 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Sweden. 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?

Differences in polymorphids and/or mRNA expression in genes, significant for developing obesity and type 2 diabetes, between patients with normal weight and obesity (time frame: approximatly 30 minutes after start of operation). 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 22 Aug 2013.
