About this study

Official title: Influence of Bariatric Endoscopy on Clinical Course of NAFLD

Find out how bariatric endocopy will influence clinical course of non alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Read the detailed description

The study will test and investigate the impact of bariatric endoscopy (various types of intragastric balloons, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, aspiration therapy) on components of the metabolic syndrome in obese patients, especially on influencing non-alcoholic steatosis and steatohepatitis and signs of liver fibrotization and weight reduction. The method consists in performing a mini-invasive endoscopic procedure and, as a result, in reduced food intake.

Current state of knowledge:

Based on data evaluated according to EBM (Evidence Based Medicine), it is an indisputable fact that bariatric methods have a demonstrable effect not only on improving the parameters and regression of many metabolic syndromes, but also improve the course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It is this nosological unit that is becoming the dominant cause of liver disease in developed countries and has two subunits, where simple hepatic steatosis (NAFL) is considered a benign disease, while the second, where fat accumulation in the liver is associated with the inflammatory process called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). ) has serious consequences for the liver with the development of fibrotization leading to cirrhosis with all its adverse effects. Recently, however, it has been shown that even simple steatosis is not as benign as it seemed, but carries an independent risk for the patient due to an increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases, oncological manifestations and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome manifestations. Classical bariatric endoscopy carries a number of risks associated with the patient for the surgical procedure, however, we also have less invasive methods of gradually more and more developing endoscopy and dreams of associated bariatric procedures with many times lower risk for the patient.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Amount of patients with NAFLD with degree of fibrosis of the liver amog patients undergoing bariatric endoscopy and determine influence of bariatric endoscopy on clinical course of NAFLD and liver fibrosis (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT04669470, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
