About this study

Official title: Long-term Adverse Effects After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux en Y Gastric Bypass (Part B)

The goal of this trial is to examine long-term effects of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on oesophageal symptoms and disease, including the presence of Barrett oesophagus ≥ 5 years post-surgery.

Read the detailed description

Bariatric surgery shows impressive results in terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities. Still, there are questions as to the frequency of long-term adverse effects: the prevalence and causes of post-operative swallowing disorders and reflux disease are uncertain. Recently, independent study groups described a high incidence of Barrett oesophagus post LSG. Additional research is urgently needed.

The goal of this trial is to examine long-term effects of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on oesophageal symptoms and disease, including the presence of Barrett oesophagus ≥ 5 years post-surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gastroscopy in people with Morbid Obesity, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 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 3 Nov 2020. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Incidence of Barrett oesophagus after bariatric surgery (time frame: 5-7 years after bariatric surgery). 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 3 Nov 2020.
