What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Collection of digestive tissuesProcedure or surgery

    The surgeon will resect a sample (approximately 1-5 cm x 1-5 cm) of healthy tissue from the distal margins of the segment and at least 4 cm from the diseased area. The specimen for research will be obtained from the tissue that would ordinarily be removed during surgery.The tissue collected for our research purposes will be only remnant tissue which is discarded by the surgeon during the surgical intervention and has no diagnostic clinical value.

Study groups in NCT02859116
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Collection of digestive tissuesDigestive tissues will be collected from participants undergoing scheduled (non-emergent) gastrointestinal surgery.
Receives: Procedure: Collection of digestive tissues

What is being measured

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

  1. Tissue collection

    During surgery, a tissue specimen that would normally be discarded, will be obtained and used to identify the localization and amount of different proteins that regulate nutrient absorption.

    Measured: Day of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes, run by AdventHealth Translational Research Institute 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 3 Aug 2022. 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?

Tissue collection (time frame: Day of surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02859116, which also lists 18 linked publications.

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 3 Aug 2022.
