About this study

Official title: Effects of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on Inflammatory Markers, Sleep, Pulmonary Function and HRQoL in Severe Obese Patients With Metabolic Syndrome Undergone to Bariatric Surgery. A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Obesity is currently one of the most serious public health problems. Its prevalence is increasing sharply in recent decades, even in developing countries, leading to global epidemiology condition. Metabolic syndrome (MS) consists of an association of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders including central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension in the same patient. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical condition in more than 60% patients with MS. It is still controversial in the world scientific literature whether treatment of OSA with Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) in severely obese patients with and without MS is effective. The NPPV effectively reverses hypoxemia in patients with OSA, therefore justified the hypothesis that NPPV will reduce insulin resistance, ghrelin and resistin and raise adiponectin levels in a group of severely obese individuals with and without MS undergoing bariatric surgery. Objectives: To investigate the effects of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on inflammatory markers, sleep, pulmonary function, BMI reduction and health related quality of life in severe obese patients with and without metabolic syndrome undergone to bariatric surgery.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on inflammatory markers, sleep, pulmonary function, BMI reduction and health related quality of life in severe obese patients with and without metabolic syndrome undergone to bariatric surgery. Methods/Design: Will participate severe obese patients with and without MS, screened from the Bariatric Surgery Service of Santa Casa de Sao Paulo. The inclusion criteria are patients with morbid obesity grade III, with an indication of bariatric surgery and who have agreed to the study, signing an informed consent. Subjects with BMI above 55 kg / m², clinically significant or mental health concerns unstable, an unrealistic target postsurgical weight and/or unrealistic expectations of the surgical treatment will be excluded. Patients will use the NPPV pre and post bariatric surgery. The evaluation protocol will consist of clinical history, vital signs, anthropometric data, clinical analysis of blood and adipose inflammatory markers, lung function tests, polysomnography, sleep scales, cardiovascular risk and quality of life questionnaires. Patients will be evaluated before and after bariatric surgery, 90, 180 and 360 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in systemic immune response

    Systemic markers of inflammation through fasting blood samples biochemical indexes.

    Measured: Baseline immune response to 180 days.

  2. Change in systemic adipose inflammation response

    Systemic markers of inflammation through biochemical indexes in visceral (omental, mesenteric) and subcutaneous adipose tissue depots.

    Measured: Baseline adipose inflammation response to 180 days.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Prevalence of sleep disorders

    Study sleep patterns through full standard polysomnography.

    Measured: 180 days

  2. Changes in pulmonary function

    Assess pulmonary function through pletysmography.

    Measured: 180 days

  3. Changes in maximal ventilatory pressures

    Assess maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures through manovacuometry.

    Measured: 180 days

  4. Changes in health related quality of life

    Changes in quality of life through Short Form-36 and BAROS questionnaires.

    Measured: 180 days

  5. Weight Loss

    Body mass index reduction.

    Measured: 180 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Noninvasive positive airway pressure flow generator device and Bariatric Surgery in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Centro Universitário de Anapolis at 3 sites in Brazil.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 15 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Brazil. 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?

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?

Change in systemic immune response (time frame: Baseline immune response to 180 days.). 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 15 Jun 2018.
