Trial summary

The long-term courses after bariatric surgery are not sufficiently known. Furthermore there is a heterogeneity in postoperative responses. The aim of this study is to investigate the glycemic course (prediabetes, development of diabetes) of patients with obesity (BMI>=35 kg/m2) who had undergone bariatric surgery… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Klinische Und Metabolische Charakterisierung Der Langzeitverläufe Von Adipositas-Patienten Mit Vergleich Von Bariatrisch Operierten zu Nicht Operierten Patienten

The long-term courses after bariatric surgery are not sufficiently known. Furthermore there is a heterogeneity in postoperative responses.

The aim of this study is to investigate the glycemic course (prediabetes, development of diabetes) of patients with obesity (BMI>=35 kg/m2) who had undergone bariatric surgery compared to patients with obesity who have not. A further aim is to investigate predictors of weight development, development of body composition and insulin sensitivity of patients who had undergone bariatric surgery compared to obesity patients who have not undergone bariatric surgery. The long-term courses after different surgical procedures (Roux-Y vs Sleeve) will be compared.

In this study 300 patients with obesity who had been metabolically characterized in a previous study will be recruited.

These patients are examined (medical history, physical examination including ECG, BIA, weight, height) and metabolically characterized.

Participants without diabetes undergo a glucose tolerance test and fasting blood sampling will be performed in participants with diabetes. All patients complete questionnaires to activity, nutrition, life quality, impulsiveness, depression and eating behavior.

Randomly selected participants will be offered an abdominal fat tissue biopsy. When consent is given, this will be performed at least two days after the glucose tolerance test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of diabetes

    Diabetes mellitus as determined by HbA1c, fasting glucose and/or post-challenge glucose (120 min after an 75g oral glucose tolerance test).

    Measured: On average 11 years after baseline assessment (previous study).

  2. Incidence of prediabetes

    Prediabetes as determined by fasting glucose and/or post-challenge glucose (120 min after an 75g oral glucose tolerance test).

    Measured: On average 11 years after baseline assessment (previous study).

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change in body weight

    Effect of bariatric surgery versus no surgery on body weight assessed by calculating BMI.

    Measured: Baseline (previous study) and after an average of 11 year (follow-up visit)

  2. Change in body fat mass

    Effect of bariatric surgery versus no surgery on body fat mass assessed by bioelectric impedance analysis.

    Measured: Baseline (previous study) and after an average of 11 year (follow-up visit)

  3. Change in fat free mass

    Effect of bariatric surgery versus no surgery on fat free (kg) mass assessed by bioelectric impedance analysis.

    Measured: Baseline (previous study) and after an average of 11 year (follow-up visit)

  4. Change in insulin sensitivity

    Effect of bariatric surgery versus no surgery on insulin sensitivity assessed by 75g oral glucose tolerance test.

    Measured: Baseline (previous study) and after an average of 11 year (follow-up visit)

  5. Occurence of diabetic complications - nephropathy

    Occurence of diabetes complications: nephropathy measured as urine microalbuminuria.

    Measured: On average 11 years after baseline assessment (previous study).

  6. Occurence of diabetic complications - retinopathy

    Occurence of diabetes complications: retinopathy assessed by retinal examination

    Measured: On average 11 years after baseline assessment (previous study).

  7. Occurence of diabetic complications - neuropathy

    Occurence of diabetes complications: neuropathy assessed by Michigan-neuropathy screening tool

    Measured: On average 11 years after baseline assessment (previous study).

  8. Occurence of macrovascular complications

    Occurence of manifestations of coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction, angina pectoris) or stroke or peripheral artery disease.

    Measured: On average 11 years after baseline assessment (previous study).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bariatric surgery in people with Obesity, run by University Hospital Tuebingen at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 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 7 Jun 2021. 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 Germany. 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 diabetes (time frame: On average 11 years after baseline assessment (previous study).). The study lists 2 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 7 Jun 2021.
