About this study

Lack of knowledge of digestive absorption of drugs used in metabolic syndrome (MS) before and after gastric by-pass (GBP) in obese patients. The main objective is to study the changes in apparent clearance of candesartan, amlodipine, metformin and rosuvastatin, used in the treatment of metabolic syndrome in obese patients, between the preoperative period and 1 and 6 months after the performance of a GBP.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of some of the most frequently prescribed oral drugs in hospital and outpatient medicine, in patients undergoing GBP surgery for obesity associated with metabolic syndrome. Paradoxically, despite their frequency of use, very few data, contradictory data or no data at all characterize the molecules we wish to study.

The number of patients undergoing GBP surgery is growing rapidly, as their life expectancy reaches that of the general population once their weight has normalized. However, while weight loss induced by surgery can improve, and more rarely cure, the comorbidities associated with metabolic syndrome, the majority of patients will need to continue or modify their treatments.

It is therefore essential to know the pharmacokinetics of the antihypertensive, lipid-lowering and hypoglycemic drugs they will be taking throughout their lives, in order to adapt their dosage if necessary, or even to change therapeutic class if their absorption is insufficient after GBP.

Moreover, as some studies have shown, the pharmacokinetics of many molecules are likely to vary over time in these patients (19), probably as a result of weight loss itself, but also possibly due to adaptive phenomena in the digestive tract. Studying the pharmacokinetics of the molecules used in the usual treatment of metabolic syndrome in most obese patients should make it possible to: target the preferred sites of absorption in the digestive tract of the molecules studied, study the variations in absorption linked to GBP but also the pharmacokinetic changes linked to weight loss as a function of time. In fact, metabolic capacity may be both decreased and increased in obese patients compared to healthy subjects (20,21), so that drug clearance may both increase and decrease after weight normalization. It is therefore difficult to predict the pharmacokinetics of drugs immediately or long after GYP. The results obtained should make it possible to adapt treatment in these patients, both in terms of changing the dosage administered and in the choice of molecules.

What is being measured

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

  1. The main objective is to study the changes in apparent clearance of candesartan, amlodipine, metformin and rosuvastatin, used in the treatment of metabolic syndrome in obese patients

    Difference in apparent clearance of study drugs between preoperative and postoperative phases at 1 month after surgery

    Measured: preoperative and postoperative phases at 1 month after surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Determine changes in apparent clearance at 6 months after gastric bypass surgery compared with the pre-operative phase

    Difference in apparent clearance of the 4 drugs studied between preoperative and postoperative phases at 6 months after gastric bypass surgery

    Measured: pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

  2. Explain changes in apparent clearance as a function of weight loss

    Change in apparent clearance as a function of body weight loss, measured by bioelectrical impedancemetry

    Measured: pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

  3. Explain changes in apparent clearance as a function of changes in the fat/lean mass ratio

    Change in apparent clearance as a function of change in body fat/lean mass ratio, measured by bioelectrical impedancemetry

    Measured: pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

  4. Determine changes in apparent volumes of distribution between the pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

    Differences in apparent volume of distribution values between the pre-operative phase and 1 month, then 6 months after surgery

    Measured: pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

  5. Explain changes in apparent volumes of distribution as a function of body weight loss

    Change in apparent volume of distribution as a function of body weight loss

    Measured: pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

  6. Explain changes in apparent volumes of distribution as changes in body fat

    Change in apparent volume of distribution as change in body fat/lean body mass ratio

    Measured: pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

  7. Based on the results obtained, recommend any necessary changes in dosage or therapeutic class for these molecules

    Dosages calculated to achieve the AUCs calculated before and 6 months after surgery, as well as the AUCs described for non-obese patients, at 1 month and 6 months post-surgery

    Measured: pre-operative phase and 1 and 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pharmacokinetic study in people with Bypass Bariatric Surgery, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 8 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2024. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Andrea LAZZATI (06 67 47 66 03, andrea.lazzati@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The main objective is to study the changes in apparent clearance of candesartan, amlodipine, metformin and rosuvastatin, used in the treatment of metabolic syndrome in obese patients (time frame: preoperative and postoperative phases at 1 month after surgery). 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 14 Jun 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
