About this study
Official title: Determining Changes in Bone Metabolism After Bariatric Surgery in Postmenopausal Women
The purpose and objective of this study is to determine the changes in bone metabolism after bariatric surgery in postmenopausal women.
This is a prospective cohort study that will enroll up to 40 postmenopausal female subjects with class II and III obesity from the Duke Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery. The study team will enroll subjects that are already being scheduled for either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The osteoclast activity, the osteoblast activity, and the bone mineral density will be measured in all subjects preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively through research specific blood tests and Dual energy x-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scans.
The primary endpoints are change in osteoclast activity as measured by C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen and change in bone density as measured by DEXA scan. These are continuous variable and given the small sample size the investigators will use a nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test to compare the difference in one year change in these variables. There is a slight risk of loss of confidentiality. Every effort will be made to protect all PHI. There is also the risk of increased exposure to radiation from the DEXA scans performed twice with each subjects participating in the study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass | Changes in bone mineral density will be determined by comparing a peroperative DEXA scan with a one year postoperative DEXA scan on postmenopausal subjects who have already planned to undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Serum will be collected from subjects preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. The serum will be used at the completion of the study to run enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine biochemical changes in bone metabolism. | |
| Sleeve Gastrectomy | Changes in bone mineral density will be determined by comparing a peroperative DEXA scan with a one year postoperative DEXA scan on postmenopausal subjects who have already planned to undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Serum will be collected from subjects preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. The serum will be used at the completion of the study to run enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine biochemical changes in bone metabolism. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in Bone Mineral Density
Changes in bone mineral density will be determined by comparing a peroperative DEXA scan with a one year postoperative DEXA scan on postmenopausal subjects who have already planned to undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
Measured: Baseline to one year postoperative
Secondary outcomes (1)
Biochemical Changes in Bone Metabolism
Serum will be collected from the subjects preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. The serum will be used at the completion of the study to run enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine biochemical changes in their bone metabolism.
Measured: Baseline to one year postoperative

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2019. 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 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?
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?
Changes in Bone Mineral Density (time frame: Baseline to one year postoperative). 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 16 Aug 2019.
