Trial summary

Fat tissue in different parts of the body has different characteristics. Several studies have associated abdominal fat to an increased risk for multiple metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, compared with fat located under the skin at the hips and thighs.

  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The Diabetes and Obese groups will be recruited from patients scheduled to undergo bariatric surgery in Montréal and the lean participants will be recruited from healthy patients scheduled to undergo general surgery.

Who may be able to join

  • Men, premenopausal and postmenopausal females between 18-65 years
  • Anticipating having bariatric surgery (participants with obesity) or general surgery in the abdominal area (normal weight participants) with a duration of less than 1.5 hours.
  • BMI 30 kg / m2 (participants with obesity)
  • Weight Stable for a minimum of two months prior to the first pre-op visit

Who cannot join

  • Smoking
  • Renal impairment defined by creatinine clearance; 60 ml/minute
  • Uncontrolled hypothyroidism
  • No comorbidity other than diabetes type II Exceptions: controlled hypertension, hypothyroidism controlled, controlled dyslipidemia
  • Use prescribed medication that affect our outcomes E.g. Exceptions include metformin, DPP-4 inhibitors, inhibitors of the α-glucosidase, hypotensive with a stable dose for 3 months lipid lowering with a stable dose for 3 months.

About this study

Fat tissue in different parts of the body has different characteristics. Several studies have associated abdominal fat to an increased risk for multiple metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, compared with fat located under the skin at the hips and thighs. However, the investigators do not know how the abdominal fat causes or contributes to the development of these diseases or how the development of these disease may in turn cause or contribute to changes in the fat tissue. The general objective of this study is to understand these mechanisms.

To investigate these questions, the study will recruit 140 participants, both men and women aged 18-65 years. The participants will be divided into three groups: 40 people with obesity, 40 with diabetes, and 60 lean individuals. Participants will be recruited from patients at the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l'Île-de Montréal - Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal who are awaiting bariatric or general abdominal surgery, as well as from the general population in the Montreal area.

What is being measured

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

  1. Immune Cell Quantification

    Flow Cytometry will be used to quantify immune cells in the fat tissue.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Pre-adipocytes and adipocyte characteristics

    Cellular characteristics such as proliferation, differentiation and cellular senescence will measured.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Blood Inflammatory Markers

    The inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL6, TNFα), chemokines (e.g. monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), genomics, and adipokines (e.g. leptin, adiponectin) in blood and adipose tissue via PCR, luminex or ELISA will be measured

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes and Bariatric Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery, run by Concordia University, Montreal at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sylvia Santosa, R.D., PhD. (514-848-2424 ext. x5841, s.santosa@concordia.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Immune Cell Quantification (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 3 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 22 Oct 2024.
