About this study

Official title: Effects of Carbohydrates on Gut Hormone Secretion After Gastric Bypass Surgery

To investigate the secretion of gut hormones, in particular glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), after ingestion of glucose and fructose as separate monosaccharides or combined in the disaccharides sucrose and isomaltulose and the effect of acarbose in gastric bypass operated subjects and BMI-matched controls.

Read the detailed description

Disaccharides such as sucrose or isomaltulose (also called palatinose) require digestion into monosaccharides (both are digested to glucose and fructose) by enzymes located in the brush border of the small intestine to be absorbed. The study will investigate the influence of carbohydrate digestion on gut hormone secretion.

What participants receive

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

  • Glucose + FructoseOther

    Ingestion of the separate monosaccharides glucose (25 g) and fructose (25 g) dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.

  • SucroseOther

    Ingestion of the disaccharide sucrose (47.5 g) dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.

  • IsomaltuloseOther

    Ingestion of the slowly digestable disaccharide isomaltulose (47.5 g) dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.

  • Sucrose + AcarboseOther

    Ingestion of the disaccharide sucrose (47.5 g) and the alpha glucosidase inhibitor acarbose dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Within group difference in GLP-1 secretion (evaluated by iAUC).

    Comparison of the GLP-1 responses (evaluated by iAUC) induced by the different carbohydrate loads.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Between group comparison of GLP-1 secretion (evaluated by iAUC).

    GLP-1 secretion (evaluated by iAUC) in gastric bypass operated patients compared to BMI-matched control subjects for each of the carbohydrate loads.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  2. Between group comparison of differences in GLP-1 secretion (evaluated by iAUC).

    Differences in GLP-1 secretion (evaluated by iAUC) induced by the different carbohydrate loads in gastric bypass operated patients compared to differences in BMI-matched control subjects.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  3. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of glucose within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  4. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of insulin within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  5. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of C-Peptide within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  6. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of peptide YY (PYY) within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  7. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP) within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  8. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of glucagon within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  9. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of oxyntomodulin within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  10. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of cholecystokinin (CCK) within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

  11. Responses (evaluated by iAUC) of bile acids within and between groups.

    Measured: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glucose + Fructose, Sucrose and Isomaltulose in people with Overweight, run by Hvidovre University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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 19 Jul 2017. 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 Denmark. 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?

Within group difference in GLP-1 secretion (evaluated by iAUC). (time frame: 0-240 min following carbohydrate ingestion). 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 NCT02879955, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jul 2017.
