About this study

Official title: Identification of Biomarkers Derived From Adipose Tissue With Potential Utility in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cardiovascular Risk of the Obese Patient.

This study evaluates the relationship between the adipose tissue, as an active component, which can define metabolic phenotypes linked to cardiovascular risk modification post bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

Bariatric surgery induces a significant reduction in co-morbidities associated with obesity, such as Diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, liver disease, arterial hypertension, obstructive apnea and cardiovascular risk. However this does not happen in all obese patients, even when there is a weight reduction.

It is known that the adipose tissue is actively involved in synthesis of cytokines and its role in metabolic phenotypes has been suggested. It is possible that the intrinsic mechanisms of adipose tissue participate in several benefits observed in morbidly obese patients who undergo to an anti-obesity surgery.

So this study explores the involvement of adipose tissue as an active component, which can define metabolic phenotypes linked to cardiovascular risk modification post bariatric surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Bariatric surgeryProcedure or surgery

    There are two components to the procedure. First, a small stomach pouch, approximately one ounce or 30 milliliters in volume, is created by dividing the top of the stomach from the rest of the stomach. Next, the first portion of the small intestine is divided, and the bottom end of the divided small intestine is brought up and connected to the newly created small stomach pouch. The procedure is completed by connecting the top portion of the divided small intestine to the small intestine further down so that the stomach acids and digestive enzymes from the bypassed stomach and first portion of small intestine will eventually mix with the food.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Obese patients and bariatric surgeryThe investigators include men and women, over 18 years old, with morbid obesity and candidates for bariatric surgery, under the routine of the treating service, with signature of acceptance of your participation, by informed consent. The investigators exclude patients with medication with potential effect on adipose tissue or cardiovascular risk in the last month, also with severe infections in the last month or clinically unstable conditions. Patients are eliminated in the study if they dont have the desire to continue in the study, and if the samples or the information are insufficient for an adequate analysis.
Receives: Procedure: Bariatric surgery
No obese patients and abdominal surgeryThe investigators include men and women, over 18 years old, without obesity and candidates for abdominal surgery (hernioplasty, cholecystectomy, fundoplication), under the routine of the treating service, with signature of acceptance of your participation, by informed consent. The investigators exclude patients with medication with potential effect on adipose tissue or cardiovascular risk in the last month, also with severe infections in the last month or clinically unstable conditions. Patients are eliminated in the study if they dont have the desire to continue in the study, and if the samples or the information are insufficient for an adequate analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the association of the cardiovascular benefit of the obese patient after bariatric surgery with the basic mechanisms of adipose tissue (metabolic profile)

    Evaluate the association of the cardiovascular benefit of the obese patient after bariatric surgery with the basic mechanisms of adipose tissue (metabolic profile)

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation between serum concentration of pro-inflammatory biomarker and the reduction of subclinical endothelial disfunction.

    measurements of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in millimeter and Flow mediated dilatation (FMD) in percent in a basal time and see over time the reduction (if any) of those endothelial markers

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Determine the association of the cardiovascular prognosis modification (risk subgroups) with the basal metabolic profile.

    After the 9 months follow up, the authors will correlated the pro-inflammatory cytokines, presence or absence of adipose proteins.

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado.

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 2 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 5 Jul 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Evaluate the association of the cardiovascular benefit of the obese patient after bariatric surgery with the basic mechanisms of adipose tissue (metabolic profile) (time frame: 3 years). 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 5 Jul 2018.
