About this study

Metabolic surgery, as a recognition treatment option for patients with clinical morbid obesity, is gaining increasing appreciation. In addition to substantial weight loss, emerging studies have highlighted that metabolic surgery can substantially ameliorate obesity-related metabolic diseases, including but not limited to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)in severely obese patients. However, further investigations with larger sample size and longer observation time still needed to clarity the efficacy and safety of metabolic surgery in Chinese patients with obesity and encouraging future research in this field.

What is being measured

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

  1. the excess weight loss effect of different metabolic surgeries after 1year

    Percent excess weight loss (%EWL), %EWL=[(initial weight)-(post-op weight)]/[(initial weight)-(ideal weight)] (in which "ideal weight" is defined by the weight corresponding to a BMI of 25 kg/m2)

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. the adverse events rate of different metabolic surgeries

    show the surgical safety by 30 days follow-up according to guideline(such as: bleeding, leak, obstruction, re-operation for complication)

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  2. the excess weight loss effect of metabolic surgery with long-time follow-ups

    Percent excess weight loss (%EWL), %EWL=[(initial weight)-(post-op weight)]/[(initial weight)-(ideal weight)] (in which "ideal weight" is defined by the weight corresponding to a BMI of 25 kg/m2)

    Measured: 3 years

  3. the excess weight loss effect of metabolic surgery with long-time follow-ups

    Percent excess weight loss (%EWL), %EWL=[(initial weight)-(post-op weight)]/[(initial weight)-(ideal weight)] (in which "ideal weight" is defined by the weight corresponding to a BMI of 25 kg/m2)

    Measured: 5 years

  4. the excess weight loss effect of metabolic surgery with long-time follow-ups

    Percent excess weight loss (%EWL), %EWL=[(initial weight)-(post-op weight)]/[(initial weight)-(ideal weight)] (in which "ideal weight" is defined by the weight corresponding to a BMI of 25 kg/m2)

    Measured: 10 years

  5. the glycemic control level of metabolic surgery with long-time follow-ups

    the change of HbA1c, glucose level, C-peptide and insulin levels

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

  6. the glycemic control level of metabolic surgery with long-time follow-ups

    the change of HbA1c, glucose level, C-peptide and insulin levels

    Measured: 3 year after surgery

  7. the glycemic control level of metabolic surgery with long-time follow-ups

    the change of HbA1c, glucose level, C-peptide and insulin levels

    Measured: 5 year after surgery

  8. the glycemic control level of metabolic surgery with long-time follow-ups

    the change of HbA1c, glucose level, C-peptide and insulin levels

    Measured: 10 year after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Surgery, run by Beijing Friendship Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2024. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

the excess weight loss effect of different metabolic surgeries after 1year (time frame: 1 year after 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 13 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
