Trial summary

Gastric bypass surgery induces remission of diabetes within days after surgery, before significant weight loss. The aim of the study is to examine whether improved insulin sensitivity of muscle and liver contributes to the immediate diabetes resolution. Read more about this study

About this study

Gastric bypass surgery induces remission of diabetes within days after surgery, before significant weight loss. The aim of the study is to examine whether improved insulin sensitivity of muscle and liver contributes to the immediate diabetes resolution.

Read the detailed description

Obesity has become a severe epidemic globally. With the rapid increase in obesity comes a pronounced rise in obesity-related disorders, especially type 2 diabetes. Weight loss achieved through lifestyle changes improves diabetes, but is very difficult to maintain over time. In contrast, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery can induce long-term weight loss and remission of diabetes. Surprisingly, the resolution of type 2 diabetes occurs within days after surgery and before significant weight loss. The resolution of diabetes must therefore be explained by a response to the surgical alterations of the stomach and intestines: restriction in gastric volume and bypass of the stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum.

Severe insulin resistance in muscle and liver is the common defect in obesity and type 2 diabetes and may be improved or even reversed shortly after the operation. The aim of this study is to examine the acute changes in insulin sensitivity of muscle and liver by using hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp combined with glucose tracer to assess hepatic glucose production. Insulin signaling pathways will be studied in biopsies from muscle and subcutaneous fat as to explain the molecular basis of the changes in insulin sensitivity after RYGB.

Insulin secretion will be evaluated in response to oral glucose as well as iv glucose-glucagon.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity, run by Hvidovre University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 25 Oct 2013. 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 Denmark. 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?

Change in insulin sensitivity after RYGB (time frame: 1 week, 3 months, 1 year). 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 NCT01202526, which also lists 2 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 25 Oct 2013.
