About this study

The effect of cholecystectomy on postprandial plasma GLP-1 responses (primary endpoint) and glucose metabolism will be evaluated in 30 patients planned to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational, parallel-group study in 30 patients with gallstone disease and 10 healthy control subjects. In patients undergoing cholecystectomy a 4h-meal test (liquid mixed meal) will be conducted at baseline (1-2 weeks before surgery) and again within 4 weeks after the cholecystectomy. Healthy subjects will be submitted to a single 4h-meal test.

Secondary endpoints include changes in plasma glucose, insulin, glucagon, GIP, PYY, gastrin, CCK, fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) and bile acids. Furthermore, secondary endpoints include changes in gastric emptying (evaluated by the paracetamol method).

What participants receive

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

  • cholecystectomyProcedure or surgery

    elective cholecystectomy performed due to gallstones, cholecystitis or other non-malignant conditions and therefore done regardless of the protocol of this study.

Study groups in NCT03305783
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients having cholecystectomyHealthy, normal weight patients (BMI<27) undergoing elective cholecystectomy will have a meal test performed before and after surgery.
Receives: Procedure: cholecystectomy
Healthy controlsHealthy matched controls will have one meal test performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glucose Metabolism Disorders, run by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 9 Feb 2023. 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?

Postprandial GLP-1 response (time frame: 240 min). 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 9 Feb 2023.
