Trial summary

Obesity is directly related to an increased risk of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and overall mortality. Weight loss is effective in decreasing these risks and to reduce disease severity. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: The trial aimed to recruit a total of 100 female subjects who underwent a gastric bypass in our cente with more than one year of monitoring. These 100 subjects were distributed into 4 subgroups according to the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) and the presence or absence of type 2 diabetes before surgery: 15 women with %EWL <40% without diabetes 15 women with <40%EWL with type 2 diabetes 35 women with a %EWL> 75% without comorbidities 35 women with a %EWL> 75% with type 2 diabetes

Who may be able to join

  • women who underwent a gastric bypass with a minimum of 1 year follow-up,
  • aged between 18 and 60 years,
  • stable weight in the previous 6 months,
  • have signed the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • male,
  • with mobility problems that constrain a marked inactivity,
  • with pathology that limits the practice of within normal limits (chronic obstructive pulmonary cardiac cerebral vascular-disease, illness, accident sequel, etc ),
  • undergoing different surgical techniques to gastric bypass,
  • with severe psychiatric disorders or eating disorder.

About this study

Official title: GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY FACTOR AS A PREDICTOR OF TYPE 2 DIABETES REMISSION AND WEIGHT LOSS AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY: HOW TO IDENTIFY THE PATIENTS IN WHICH BARIATRIC SURGERY WILL FAIL?

Obesity is directly related to an increased risk of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and overall mortality. Weight loss is effective in decreasing these risks and to reduce disease severity. Bariatric surgery is an effective therapy for sustained weight loss and type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission in most of the morbidly obese patients. But there is also a significant number of individuals with an inappropriate response to bariatric surgery. Two recent retrospective studies assessed the role of genetic load as a predictor of this response, but the results are still unelucidated. The aim of this study is to assess whether a selection of genetic variants may allow us to identify individuals who will have a satisfactory response after bariatric surgery in terms of weight loss and T2D remission.

Read the detailed description

A retrospective case-control study of 100 women who underwent bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y laparoscopic gastric bypass): 50 pacients who were diabetic before surgery: 15 cases with less than 40% of the excess weight loss (EWL) and 35 cases with more than 75% EWL, matched with 50 non diabetic controles: 15 patients with less than 40%EWL and 35 with more than 75%EWL after one year. All individuals were analyzed with a genetic score from Nutri inCode. The predictive ability was analyzed by discrimination (area under the ROC curve), sensitivity and specificity and a score was calculated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predictive value of the genetic test in identifying individuals who will have a good response to bariatric surgery, in terms of weight loss.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Case-control Study, run by Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 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 1 Apr 2015. 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 Spain. 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?

Predictive value of the genetic test in identifying individuals who will have a good response to bariatric surgery, in terms of weight loss. (time frame: 6 month). 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 1 Apr 2015.
