About this study

The aim of this study is to measure important components of weight change in patients who underwent bariatric surgery on measures of fat mass and its distribution and fat-free mass (FFM) (bone mineral density, skeletal muscle, and specific organs) at 60 months (T60) and 84 months (T84) post-surgery, and to compare compartment sizes with stable weight controls.

Read the detailed description

Consenting, eligible patients previously enrolled in the ancillary study, "Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery" (LABS), from Weill Cornell and the University of Pittsburgh will undergo the following measures: total body water by deuterium dilution (fat and fat-free mass (FFM)), extracellular water by sodium bromide tracer, body density by the BodPod, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (adipose tissue and its distribution; skeletal muscle mass; mass of liver, kidneys, heart, and brain), dual energy-X-ray absorptiometry (femur bone mineral density (BMD), total body fat, fat-free mass, and bone mineral content), and resting energy expenditure (REE). MRI will describe body composition changes at the tissue/organ level and adipose tissue distribution allowing us to address questions of biological and clinical importance including the body composition changes' influences on REE. The specific aims are to: 1) measure important components of weight change in patients who underwent bariatric surgery on measures of fat mass and its distribution and FFM (including bone mineral density, skeletal muscle, and specific organs) at T60 and T84 months following surgery, and also to compare compartment sizes with those seen in stable weight controls; 2) measure the amount of change in REE at T60 and T84 compared to T0, following weight loss induced by bariatric surgery and to determine its relation to changes in body composition compartments, and its duration over the follow-up period. Secondary research questions relate to changes in cardiac structure and function, physical activity associations with skeletal muscle changes, and adipose tissue depot changes as predictors of cardiometabolic parameters (glucose metabolism and serum lipid composition). Subjects will be women and men (n=100) equally distributed between the New York and Pittsburgh sites.

What participants receive

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

  • Follow-up post-bariatric surgeryOther

    Also called Observational at this time with no intervention

    Follow-up of those subjects who had bariatric surgery (as part of the parent LABS trial) immediately following the collection of baseline measures (body composition) in this study. Follow-up body composition measures will be acquired at 60 months and 84 months post-baseline measures (post-surgery).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Weight Loss and Weight Change, run by Columbia University 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?

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 1 Feb 2019. 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. 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?

Fat and fat-free mass (time frame: Approximately 60 months and 84 months post-bariatric surgery). 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 NCT00682058, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Feb 2019.
