About this study

Official title: Characterization of the Digestive Functions and the Enteric Nervous System in Obesity. Investigations of Relationships With Metabolism Disorders(EnteroNeurObesity)

60 patients scheduled for bariatric surgery will be included into 3 categories (20 patients with non complicated obesity, 20 patients with metabolic syndrome and 20 patients with a type 2 diabetes or hypertension). 20 volunteers will be enrolled as normal referents. The patients and the volunteers will have a classical pre-operative check-up (fibroscopy, oesophageal pHmetry and manometry) and extra investigations as isotopic gastric empty exam, lactulose oro-caecal transit exam, intestinal permeability test calculated by lactulose-manitol ratio urinary excretion. Intestinal and colonic biopsies will be also provided for studying permeability. For only patients, samples from the gastric resection will be provided for analysing the enteric nervous system and motricity.

What is being measured

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

  1. T1/2 solids (on the kinetic of isotopic gastric empty exam)

    This evaluation will be obtained before bariatric surgery for patients and at any time before end of study for volunteers.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Digestive functions investigations in people with Obesity, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 21 Nov 2014. 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 France. 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?

T1/2 solids (on the kinetic of isotopic gastric empty exam) (time frame: 6 months). 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 21 Nov 2014.
