About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Oral Sertraline Before and After Bariatric Surgery; a Prospective Open Observational Study

Volunteers with a prescription of oral sertraline who have been scheduled to bariatric surgery in either Norrköping/Sweden or Lindesberg/Sweden will be asked to participate in a observational study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the absorption and the effect and side effects of sertraline in volunteers 8 weeks before and 1, 6 and 12 months after bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

The pharmacokinetic changes of sertraline after bariatric surgery are studied by assessing the exposition for sertraline in individuals with long term treatment by measuring the area under the curve (AUC0-τ) 8 weeks before and one, six and twelve months after bariatric surgery in 30 participants.

The effect of variation of sertraline concentration is studied by a psychiatric assessment of depressive symptoms and symptoms of anxiety disorder. The aim ist to study if there is a relation between changes in pharmacokinetics and effect of sertraline after bariatric surgery.

For the assessment of side effects a self-reporting scale is used. These participants are recruited consequentially with the aim to get equal numbers of patients with both most usual types of surgery in Sweden (laparoscopic RYGB and gastric sleeve).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Area under the concentration curve of sertraline

    Changes in the area under sertraline serum concentration vs time curve (AUC(0-t))

    Measured: 8 weeks before, 1, 6 and 12 month after bariatric surgery before sertraline intake and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose

  2. Change in Clinical Anxiety Scale

    Psychiatric assessment of symptoms of anxiety disorders with an 5-items-scale (Psychic tension, Ability to relax/muscular tension, Startle response/hyperarousability, Worrying, Apprehension). Every item has values between 0 (no symptoms) and 4 (marked symptoms). The overall score ranges from 0 to 20.Higher scores indicate higher anxiety symptoms.

    Measured: 8 weeks before, 1, 6 and 12 month after bariatric surgery

  3. Change in Montgomery-Åsberg-depression rating scale (MADRS-B)

    Assessment of depressive symptoms with a 10-items scale (Apparent Sadness, Reported Sadness, Inner Tension, Reduced Sleep, Reduced Appetite, Concentration Difficulties, Lassitude, Inability to Feel, Pessimistic Thoughts, Suicidal Thoughts). Higher score indicates more depressive symptoms, each item spans over a score from 0 to 6; the overall score ranges from 0 to 60.

    Measured: 8 weeks before, 1, 6 and 12 month after bariatric surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in the area under concentration vs time curve of desmethylsertraline

    Changes in the area under concentration vs time curve of desmethylsertraline

    Measured: 8 weeks before, 1, 6 and 12 month after bariatric surgerybefore sertraline intake and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overweight and Depression, run by Linkoeping University at 2 sites in Sweden.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Sweden. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Problem with recruiting as a consequence of COVID-19). 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?

Change in Area under the concentration curve of sertraline (time frame: 8 weeks before, 1, 6 and 12 month after bariatric surgery before sertraline intake and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Mar 2024.
