Trial summary

Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) surgery results in greater resolution of type 2 diabetes than all other bariatric surgical procedures, and it is hypothesized that this procedure has specific beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis beyond weight loss alone. Read more about this study

About this study

Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) surgery results in greater resolution of type 2 diabetes than all other bariatric surgical procedures, and it is hypothesized that this procedure has specific beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis beyond weight loss alone. The BPD procedure is performed in more than 150 patients/year by surgeons at the Division of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, School of Medicine, in Rome, Italy. The purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of the effect of the BPD bariatric surgical procedure on insulin action and pancreatic beta cell function. It is hypothesized that weight loss achieved with BPD surgery will have greater effects on insulin sensitivity and beta cell function than weight loss induced by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

What participants receive

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

  • Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    In Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery a small gastric pouch is created and connected to a segment of jejunum. Bowel continuity is restored by reconnecting the "Roux" limb and the biliopancreatic limb approximately ~75-150 cm distal to the gastrojejunostomy. Therefore, ingested food bypasses most of the stomach, the entire duodenum, and a short segment of the jejunum.

  • Biliopancreatic Diversion SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    In Biliopancreatic Diversion Surgery a horizontal gastrectomy is conducted leaving a portion of the stomach, which is connected to the small intestine, ~250 cm from the ileocecal valve and the biliopancreatic limb is connected to the ileum, ~50 cm from the ileocecal valve. Digestive secretions from the biliopancreatic limb mix in the common channel, where ingested food is also delivered by the alimentary limb.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity will be assessed using the Hyperinsulinemic-Euglycemic Clamp (HEC) procedure, before and after weight loss induced by either BPD or RYGB surgery

    Insulin sensitivity: The HEC procedure will be used to evaluate insulin sensitivity before and after 20% weight loss induced by either BPD or RYGB surgery

    Measured: Change from Baseline up to a possible 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery and Biliopancreatic Diversion Surgery in people with Obesity, Morbid, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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 13 Apr 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 Italy. 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?

Change from baseline in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity will be assessed using the Hyperinsulinemic-Euglycemic Clamp (HEC) procedure, before and after weight loss induced by either BPD or RYGB surgery (time frame: Change from Baseline up to a possible 9 months). 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 NCT03111953, which also lists 2 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 13 Apr 2017.
