About this study

Official title: Prospective, Clinical Study of the Effect of Bariatric Surgery, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, on the Pharmacokinetics of Immunosuppressive Drugs in the Morbidly Obese, Kidney Transplant Candidate

A prospective clinical trial will study the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in the potential renal transplant candidate who is denied acceptance due mainly to the morbid obesity.

Read the detailed description

The remaining factor in determining the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in the transplant population will be to study the effect on the pharmacokinetics of immunosuppressive medication, height, weight, BMI, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, Hba1c , average daily insulin requirements, lipid profile, TSH, 24h urine creatinine clearance and the SF-36 Quality of life questionnaire.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
morbidly obese, chronic renal diseaseadult patients (> 18 years) who have stage 4 or 5 chronic renal disease (CrCl < 30 ml/min) who are being considered for possible future kidney transplantation. The study inclusion criteria are an indication for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (BMI > 40 kg/m2, or BMI > 35 with at least one co-morbidity such as hypertension, dyslipidemia or diabetes)
Receives: Procedure: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. changes in the pharmacokinetics of oral immunosuppressive medications due to bariatric surgery, comparing pre-bariatric surgery to 12 months post-operative

    Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate AUC 0-24h

    Measured: pre-bariatric surgery and 1 year after surgery

  2. degree of weight loss achieved after bariatric surgery in the chronic renal failure patient.

    weight, BMI and abdominal circumference measures

    Measured: baseline and every 3 months

  3. Evaluate the change in general quality of life score, SF-36

    comparison of the SF score between Baseline and month 3, Baseline and month 6 and Baseline and month 12

    Measured: Baseline and 1 year after bariatric surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. evaluate changes to residual renal function in the pre-dialysis renal transplant candidate

    serum creatinine/ urea, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphate and bicarbonate pre surgery and month 12

    Measured: at baseline versus month 12 post-bariatric surgery

  2. evaluate the change in the number and dose of medications required to treat co-morbidities including, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus

    concommitant medication records at baseline vs month 12

    Measured: baseline and 12 month post-bariatric surgery

  3. the incidence of complications post-bariatric surgery will be evaluated

    non serious and serious adverse events collection at Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months post-bariatric surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, Morbid and Transplant; Failure, Kidney, run by Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 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 2 Dec 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 Canada. 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 the pharmacokinetics of oral immunosuppressive medications due to bariatric surgery, comparing pre-bariatric surgery to 12 months post-operative (time frame: pre-bariatric surgery and 1 year after surgery). 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?
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 2 Dec 2019.
