Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: A total of 79 participants were randomly assigned to three groups: bariatric surgery (BS group n=27), lifestyle intervention (LS group, n=22), and waitlist control (C group n=30). The participants in the three groups were similar in BMI (>35 kg/m2), age (18-40 years), and gender. Inclusion criteria included BMI > 35 kg/m2, and being free of any acute medical condition, malignancy, or psychiatric disorders. Participants taking weight-losing pharmacotherapy or who underwent previous bariatric surgery were excluded. For all participants, electrogastrography, inflammatory cytokines measurements, body composition analysis, dietary assessment, and indirect calorimetry (as described in objective 1) were done at baseline, and after 6 months.

Who may be able to join

  • BMI > 35 kg/m2,
  • Being free of any acute medical condition, inflammatory conditions, malignancy, or psychiatric disorders

Who cannot join

  • Taking weight-losing pharmacotherapy
  • Who underwent previous bariatric surgery

About this study

Official title: Gastric Myoelectric Activity, Inflammatory, Dietary, and Body Composition Changes During Weight Loss Via Bariatric Surgery and Lifestyle Modification

Gastric myoelectric, inflammatory, and hormonal responses, body compositional, energy expenditure, and metabolic changes during the development of obesity and the weight loss process are underinvestigated. This project studied the myoelectrical inflammatory and hormonal responses of the stomach, in addition to energy expenditure and body composition changes during weight loss via bariatric surgery and lifestyle intervention.

Gastric myoelectric, inflammatory, and hormonal responses, body compositional, energy expenditure, and metabolic changes during the development of obesity and the weight loss process are underinvestigated. This project studied the myoelectrical, inflammatory, and hormonal responses of the stomach, in addition to energy expenditure and body composition changes during weight loss via bariatric surgery and lifestyle intervention.

Methods: We recruited 79 participants who were assigned to three groups: bariatric surgery (BS group n=27), lifestyle intervention (LS group, n=22), and waitlist control (C group n=30). For all participants, electrogastrography, inflammatory cytokines, gastric hormones analysis, body composition analysis, energy expenditure, and dietary assessment were done at baseline and at 6 months.

What participants receive

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

  • Sleeve gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was done under general anesthesia by the same surgeon in the SBAHC. Routine preoperative, and postoperative care (including early post-operative dietary management) were done. Baseline assessment was taken within the last week before the surgery during the preoperative preparation and the final assessment was recorded 6 months after the surgery date.

  • Lifestyle interventionDietary supplement

    balanced 500 to 1000-calorie-deficit diet, personalized physical activity plan, and customized behavioral modification

  • ControlOther

    No interventions were applied

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastric myoelectric activity

    The gastric myoelectric activity was measured in fasting (for 10 mins) and post-prandial state (for 30 mins) using a multichannel electrogastrography (EGG) with a water load satiety test

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Inflammatory changes

    Serum levels of inflammatory markers involving interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1),

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Body composition measurement

    Body composition was analyzed via a multi-Frequency segmental bioelectric impedance analysis monitor

    Measured: 6 MONTHS

  4. Resting Energy Expenditure

    Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was measured by the automated metabolic cart indirect calorimetry (IC) using a standard canopy hood

    Measured: 6 MONTHS

  5. hormonal analysis

    serum levels of ghrelin, gastrin, and irisin (ELISA kits MyBiosource, San Diego, CA, USA; Catalog numbers: MBS2700428, MBS264399, MBS2600406, respectively).

    Measured: 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Weight Loss, run by King Saud University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2023. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?

Gastric myoelectric activity (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 5 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 20 Mar 2023.
