About this study

Official title: Effect of Bariatric Surgery and Weight Loss on Energy Metabolism and Insulin Sensitivity "BARIA"

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of three weight loss surgeries compared to a low calorie diet with regard to energy expenditure, body composition, insulin sensitivity, and the response of gastrointestinal peptides to a standard meal. Baseline assessments will be conducted in all four groups and changes will be compared six and fifty-two weeks post-operatively.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of three weight loss procedures compared to a low calorie diet. Three different obesity surgery methods; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), gastric banding (GBa), sleeve gastrectomy (SGx), and one low calorie diet program on metabolism, with regard to body fat, physical activity levels, hormone changes after eating a meal, and changes in taste preferences.

Participants having obesity surgery will receive laparoscopic (minimally invasive surgery performed by making several small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a camera called a laparoscope) an adjustable gastric band, a sleeve gastrectomy or roux en Y gastric bypass. In addition to the regular surgical procedures, the surgeons will remove laparoscopically about 10g (1 tablespoon) of fat from within the abdomen. This fat tissue will be processed and stored for future study (at completion of the study) of your metabolism pre-treatment. Participants will complete post-operative follow-up appointments with their surgeon as required.

Participants on the LCD program will experience weight loss by following a low calorie diet program (LCD). For this diet you will select all your own food choices and our dietitians will assist you to reach your daily calorie target. You will be asked to follow this balanced food diet for the remainder of the 12 month study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Daily Energy Metabolism and insulin sensitivity

    Compare daily energy expenditure (accelerometry); body composition (EchoMRI, CT, MRS); insulin sensitivity (2-step hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp). Response of insulin, glucose, and gastrointestinal hormones. Changes in the stool microflora.

    Measured: Enrollment, Baseline, Week 6-8 and Week 48-56 post-surgery / LCD diet

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Protein-energy; Imbalance, run by Pennington Biomedical Research Center 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 12 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 4 Dec 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. 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?

Daily Energy Metabolism and insulin sensitivity (time frame: Enrollment, Baseline, Week 6-8 and Week 48-56 post-surgery / LCD diet). 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 NCT00936130, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 4 Dec 2015.
