Trial summary

The goal of this study is to employ or develop computational modeling techniques for the precise reclassification of obesity into subgroups. Clinical features, risks of noncommunicable diseases, as well as weight loss effects of bariatric surgery will also be studied and compared within the subgroups. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Data-driven Clustering for Metabolic Classification of Obesity Using Machine Learning

The goal of this study is to employ or develop computational modeling techniques for the precise reclassification of obesity into subgroups. Clinical features, risks of noncommunicable diseases, as well as weight loss effects of bariatric surgery will also be studied and compared within the subgroups.

What participants receive

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

  • AI classification of patients with obesityDiagnostic test

    Computational modeling techniques will be used for the precise reclassification of obesity into four subgroups, several variables according to the clinical experience and the modeling results will be selected for the cluster analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Metabolic classification of patients with obesity using machine learning

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Metabolic features in patients of different subgroups

    Measured: baseline

  2. Risks for noncommunicable disease in patients of different subgroups

    Measured: baseline

  3. Effect of bariatric surgery in patients of different subgroups

    Measured: 1 year after bariatric surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by Shanghai 10th People's 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 25 Jun 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 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?

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?

Metabolic classification of patients with obesity using machine learning (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04282837, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jun 2020.
