About this study

Official title: Pharmacological Evaluation of Hormonal Contraceptive Treatments in Obese Women Before and After Bariatric Surgery

The aim of our study is to assess the concentrations of different oral contraceptive agents in morbid obese women before and after two types of bariatric surgeries (RYGB and sleeve gastrectomy) in order to study the role of the surgery and the role of body weight on drug concentrations, and to compare these concentrations with those of normal-weight women.

Read the detailed description

Open, multi-center pharmacological study of residual concentrations of three different oral contraceptives in 3 groups of obese women in each group of surgery, and 1 group of healthy volunteers. The concentrations will be assessed before, 6 and 12 months after bariatric surgery restrictive (sleeve gastrectomy) or malabsorptive (gastric by pass).

Contraception is an important issue in women with obesity. There are actually few data answering the questions of the efficacy of oral contraceptive in obese women, as this condition could be a risk factor for failure of hormonal contraception, due to the changes in drug metabolism and a larger volume of distribution in obesity. Bariatric surgery is the most efficient therapeutic for weight loss in severe and morbid obesity. In 2011, more than 31 000 bariatric procedures have been performed in France with sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) representing the two most frequent procedures. Women represent 80 % of surgical patients and most of them are in childbearing age (mean age of 39 years). Obese women who receive surgical treatment for obesity are advised not to conceive for the following 12 to 18 months, both to ensure optimal weight loss and a stable weight during pregnancy, and also to begin pregnancy with optimal nutritional and vitamin status. There are no data on the changes in oral contraceptives concentrations before and after bariatric surgery, as malabsorption and anatomic digestive modifications following surgery may theoretically affect bioavailability.

Primary Objective :

The difference between Css before bariatric surgery and 6 months after the surgery in obese women regardless of the oral contraceptives used. Three different oral contraceptives are employed (two combined oral contraceptive containing ethinyl E2 and levonorgestrel and a progestin contraceptive desogestrel).

Secondary Objectives :

  • To assess if the difference of Css before, 6 months and 12 months after surgery is the same in the 3 groups of oral contraceptives and in the 2 groups of surgery
  • To compare the Css of obese women before, 6 months and 12 months after surgery to T0 Css of normal-weight patients for each group of oral contraceptive
  • To assess the impact of oral contraceptives on gonadotroph axis, hemostatic variables and estrogen-sensitive protein in obese women before and 6 and 12 months after surgery and in normal-weight women
  • Analyze of correlation between body composition, nutritional status and Css in the 3 groups of oral contraceptives and in the 2 groups of bariatric surgery

Secondary End Points:

  • Css of oral contraceptive agent 12 months after bariatric surgery
  • Css of oral contraceptive agent in normal weight women
  • Sequential Body composition by DXA and Impedancemetry before and 6 months and 12 months after surgery.
  • Nutritional status in obese women before and after surgery (albumin, prealbuminemia, RBP, transferrin, haemoglobin, lipid (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL)
  • Evaluation of gonadotroph axis by hormonal assays: FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH, progesterone, testosterone total, Inhibin B in normal-weight women and obese women before and 6 months and 12 months after surgery
  • Evaluation of hemostatic variables (protein S, APC) and SHBG in normal-weight women and obese women before and 6 months and 12 months after surgery
  • Number of unexpected pregnancies occurred during the study

What is being measured

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

  1. Css

    The difference between Css before bariatric surgery and 6 months after the surgery in obese women regardless of the oral contraceptives used. Three different oral contraceptives are employed (two combined oral contraceptive containing ethynil E2 and levonorgestrel and a progestin contraceptive desogestrel).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Css

    • To assess if the difference of Css before, 6 months and 12 months after surgery is the same in the 3 groups of oral contraceptives and in the 2 groups of surgery

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Bariatric Surgery Candidate, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 2 sites in France.

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 11 inclusion and 3 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 13 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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 Anne Bachelot, MD, PhD (+33 1 42 16 02 46, anne.bachelot@psl.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Css (time frame: 6 months). 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 13 Aug 2018.
