About this study

Official title: Physical Fitness and Macro- and Micro- Nutrient Intake in a Morbidly Obese Bariatric Surgery Population

The purpose of this research study is to determine how bariatric surgery affects physical activity and nutrient intake.

This research study is being done because the investigators want to determine better recommendations to provide to bariatric surgery patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a two-pronged study. The first phase is a cross-sectional study design meaning each participant will only be tested once. The investigators wish to test patients from each of the groups listed below to determine CR fitness, activity level, and nutrient intake. The investigators wish to determine if any improvements from bariatric surgery can be maintained over a 2-year period following surgery. If this is the case, our next project will be to track the patients recruited at their new visit longitudinally at all of the five time points listed below.

  1. New visit with GI Nutrition
  2. 1 month prior to bariatric surgery (at the time of the patient's initial visit with the surgeon (6-7 months after their new visit))
  3. 6 months after bariatric surgery
  4. 12 months after bariatric surgery
  5. 24 months after bariatric surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by Geisinger Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 14 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 12 Feb 2016. 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?

Pre-Operative 6 Min Walk Test (time frame: Pre-operative). The study lists 6 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 12 Feb 2016.
