About this study

Official title: Glycaemia, Insulin Secretion and Action in Morbidly Obese Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes After Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Randomised Single Centre Study

Glycaemia, insulin secretion and action in morbidly obes subjects with type 2 diabetes after sleeve gastrectomy ond Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: A randomised single centre study.

Read the detailed description

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operation combines restrictive and malabsorptive principles. It is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide (~ 50 %). Vertical (sleeve) gastrectomy on the other hand, is a purely restrictive procedure and has gained popularity and is now accepted as a valid procedure accounting for approximately five percent of the bariatric procedures performed worldwide.

The remission rate of type 2 diabetes one to two years after bariatric surgery is approximately 70%. Some studies have indicate that the remission rate of type 2 diabetes is higher after gastric bypass than after sleeve gastrectomy. Other studies indicate a similar effect on the reduction in HbA1c.

Weight reduction is comparable between gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy although some evidence suggets a larger weight loss following gastric bypass surgery. Larger weight loss can clearly contribute to somewhat greater improvement in glucose homeostasis after gastric bypass than after sleeve gastrectomy. Still, one might speculate that changes in gut hormones may contribute to higher remission rates of type 2 diabetes after gastric bypass than after sleeve gastrectomy.

Improved β-cell function observed after gastric bypass surgery may be linked to higher postprandial levels of Glucagonlike peptide 1 as seen after gastric bypass surgery. Beta cell function has, to our knowledge, only been addressed in one previous study after sleeve gastrectomy, with the authors reporting an increased first-phase insulin secretion three days after the procedure. Although several studies have addressed changes in gastrointestinal hormones the incretin effect on insulin secretion after gastric bypass has been estimated in only a few studies. To the best of our knowledge the incretin effect on insulin secretion after sleeve gastrectomy remains unexplored.We are aware of four ongoing randomised controlled trials comparing the effect of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on several endpoints including weight and comorbidities (ClinicalTrial.gov identifiers: NCT00722995, NCT00356213, NCT00793143, and NCT00667706). However, these studies include both subjects with and with-out type 2 diabetes and are therefore not powered to detect between-group differences in HbA1c and beta-cell function in the diabetic patients.

In conclusion, the effect of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on glycaemia is not fully elucidated. Moreover, the impact of altered beta-cell function post surgery needs to be explored. We hypothesise that greater improvement in beta-cell function after gastric bypass than after sleeve gastrectomy translates into better glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes one year after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bariatric surgery, either gastric bypass surgery or sleeve gastrectomy, Sleeve gastrecomy and Bastric bypass in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Morbid Obesity, run by Sykehuset i Vestfold HF at 1 site in Norway.

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 10 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 19 Apr 2023. 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 Norway. 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?

Remission of type 2 diabetes. (time frame: One year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01778738, which also lists 12 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 19 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
