About this study

This proposal is designed to examine the impact of bariatric surgery on the health of patients and their families. The shared environment of spouses/cohabitating partners suggests that patients' families are exposed to the extensive diet and lifestyle changes required of patients following bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

The specific aims of this proposal are to:

  1. Collect clinical data (e.g., weight, blood pressure, body composition, blood sample), as well as monitor physical activity and eating patterns, before and after bariatric surgery (Adults Only).
  2. Analyze clinical data, physical activity and eating patterns to determine how the health of patients and their families change after one family member completes bariatric surgery (Adults Only).
  3. Determine the feasibility of recruiting patients, spouses/partners and their children.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Bariatric Surgery Candidate, run by Geisinger Clinic 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 21 Oct 2016. 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?

Weight (time frame: Pre-operatively, post-operatively 6 months and 12 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 Oct 2016.
