About this study
Official title: Searching for Altered Gene Expression in the Endocrine Secretome Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
Examination of the molecular phenotype and composition of endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract correlated to analyses of blood for hormones/analytes before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in morbidly obese individuals both with and without type 2 diabetes
Read the detailed description
Enteroscopy was conducted during sedation with Propofol®. The pre-surgical sampling included biopsies retrieved from the stomach and at the expected site of anastomosis. During RYGB surgery, a ~1 cm gut tissue sample was removed at the site of anastomosis. The post-surgical enteroscopy ~3 months after RYGB surgery included biopsies taken from the gastric pouch, the alimentary limb, the biliopancreatic limb and common channel. One sample from each location was immersion-fixated in formalin for subsequent histological analyses and one sample was placed in a tube with RNA-preserving media for mRNA expression analysis. Remaining samples were snap-frozen and stored at -80°C until further processing.
Enteroendocrine cells were identified and isolated from biopsies obtained at several sites in the small intestine by using immunohistochemistry and laser capture technology. Isolated individual enteroendocrine cells were extensively characterised by next generation sequencing (Illumina NGS).
The participants also went through four mixed meal tests with blood sampling performed: before an 8 % diet-induced weight loss was initiated and one week before/one week after/3 months after RYGB surgery. Blood was sampled at several specific time points.
The plasma, serum and urine collected from study participants before and after RYGB surgery will be analysed for biomarkers/analytes and correlated with clinical data (weight, BMI, waist/hip ratio, blood pressure) and molecular phenotype found in gut samples.
To study changes in gut bacteria (microbiota) composition stool samples were collected during the study and will be analysed for microbiota composition by means of bacterial DNA sequencing.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Enteroscopy with biopsy sampling and mixed meal test in people with Obesity, Morbid and Type2 Diabetes, run by Filip Krag Knop.
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 13 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 28 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Altered gene expression in the endocrine secretome following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (time frame: Each participant went through six study days (two mixed meal tests and one enteroscopy procedure before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, respectively)). 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 NCT03093298, which also lists 3 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 28 Mar 2017.
