About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Metabolic Effects of Omentectomy in Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treated With Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB)

PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Type of Study: Pilot, randomized and single center trial Test Procedure: Omentectomy Aim 1. Determine the effect of omentectomy on 1) insulin sensitivity, 2) beta cell function and 3) plasma markers of inflammation We hypothesize that removal of omental fat increases insulin sensitivity and pancreatic sensitivity to glucose, and decreases systemic inflammation.

Aim 2. Identify genes and proteins in adipocytes from obese patients that affect clinical presentation versus those that are affected by obesity for future study.

We hypothesize that the genetic samples will help us to identify genes and proteins in adipocytes from obese patients that affect clinical presentation versus those that are affected by obesity and help us to design future obesity genetic studies.

Total Enrollment Number: 30 patients who are scheduled to undergo bariatric surgery for weight loss at New York University Medical Center will be invited to participate in this study. Subjects will be randomly assigned, by using a computer-generated randomization scheme, in a single-blind fashion to either the omentectomy (n=15) or control group (n=15).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Omentectomy in people with Patients Who Consented to Undergo Laparoscopic Gastric Banding Surgery for Weight Loss and Consent to Participate in This studyBMI ≥35 kg/m2 and Confirmed Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Oral Agents and/or Only Diet Therapy, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2015. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Conflicting interim data). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

1) insulin sensitivity, 2) beta cell function and 3) plasma markers of inflammation (time frame: 6 week post op). 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 Nov 2015.
