Trial summary

Bone mineral density (BMD) is decreased after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) but whether RYGB induces changes in BMD beyond adaptation to major weight loss is not known. We aim to investigate BMD changes in weight bearing (hip, lumbal columna) and in non-weight bearing (forearm) regions before and after maximal… 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 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants will be recruited from a previously investigated cohort of 20 subjects undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (NCT 01202526). The previous study aimed at investigating acute and long term changes in insulin sensitivity and secretion, whereas the present follow-up study investigates changes in bone metabolism as the primary outcome.

Who may be able to join

  • Participation in previos study ((NCT 01202526)

Who cannot join

  • Treatment of osteoporosis

About this study

Official title: Bone Mineral Density and Markers of Bone Turnover After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Bone mineral density (BMD) is decreased after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) but whether RYGB induces changes in BMD beyond adaptation to major weight loss is not known. We aim to investigate BMD changes in weight bearing (hip, lumbal columna) and in non-weight bearing (forearm) regions before and after maximal weight loss at 1 year and after weight stabilisation at 4 years after RYGB. Moreover, plasma markers of bone turnover will be studied at fasting and during oral glucose tolerance test.

Being tested

    Measured: 1 year, 4 years

  2. Changes in bone mineral density of weightbearing bone

    DXA scans of hip and lumbal columna

    Measured: 1 year, 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plasma markers of bone turnover

    At fasting

    Measured: 1 week, 3 months, 1 year, 4 years

  2. Plasma markers of bone turnover

    during OGTT

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Bypass Surgery and Obesity, 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 1 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 8 Feb 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kirstine N Bojsen-Møller, MD, PhD (4538626371, kirstine.bojsen-moeller@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in bone mineral density of non-weight bearing bone (time frame: 1 year, 4 years). 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 8 Feb 2017.
