Trial summary

Bariatric surgery procedures promote weight loss by limiting the amount of food consumed through reduction of the size of the stomach and by decreasing absorption of nutrients through reorganizing or bypassing portions of the small intestine. Read more about this study

About this study

Bariatric surgery procedures promote weight loss by limiting the amount of food consumed through reduction of the size of the stomach and by decreasing absorption of nutrients through reorganizing or bypassing portions of the small intestine. Among the procedures used to induce weight loss, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) was initially developed in the early 90's as the restrictive component of a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS). It was then offered by laparoscopy as a staged-approach in order to reduce peri-operative complications in high-risk patients. The second step of the surgery (i.e. the duodenal switch) was planned when sufficient weight loss had been obtained. However, it was observed that some patients experienced appreciable weight loss with the SG alone, and did not require a second-stage surgery, thus avoiding the side-effects of a malabsorptive surgery. This led to the surge in popularity of SG as a stand-alone operation, because of its relative technical simplicity, feasibility, and good outcomes. Multiple mechanisms have been postulated to induce metabolic recovery and weight loss following surgery. The independent effects of each component of the BPD-DS with SG have never been investigated in humans within a well-controlled study design. The general objective of the present project is to assess the impact of each component of the BPD-DS and SG, either combined of separated, on physiological variables potentially responsible for metabolic recovery. Patients will be randomized to undergo one of three surgical sequences: 1) SG followed by BPD-DS one year later; 2) BPD-DS followed by SG one year later; or 3) SG and BPD-DS within a single operation. A series of tests will be performed at baseline, at 1 year, and 2 years after the initial surgery. We propose two Specific Aims to asses 1) the impact of each surgical component on the hormonal determinants of metabolic recovery; and 2) the impact of weight loss responses on subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue function improvements. This project will help better understand the mechanisms underlying metabolic recovery following weight loss surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gastrectomy and BPD-DS in people with Biliopancreatic Diversion With Duodenal Switch and Gastrectomy, run by Laval University 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 5 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marc Lapointe (4186568711 ext. 2136, marc.lapointe@criucpq.ulaval.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure the changes in Satiety Levels and the changes in Incretin Levels (time frame: Baseline, 12, 24 months). 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 16 May 2014.
