About this study

The growing incidence of obesity and type2 DM globally is widely recognized as one of the most challenging contemporary threats to public health. Uncontrolled diabetes leads to macrovascular and microvascular complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke, blindness, neuropathy, and renal failure in many patients. The current goal of medical treatment is to halt disease progression by reducing hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and other cardiovascular risk factors. Despite improvements in pharmacotherapy, fewer than 50% of patients with moderate-to-severe type 2 diabetes actually achieve and maintain therapeutic thresholds, particularly for glycemic control. Observational studies have suggested that bariatric or metabolic surgery can rapidly improve glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in severely obese patients with type 2 diabetes Few randomized, controlled trials have compared bariatric surgery with intensive medical therapy, particularly in moderately obese patients (defined as those having a BMI of 30 to 34.9) with type2 DM. Accordingly, many unanswered questions remain regarding the relative efficacy of bariatric surgery in patients with uncontrolled diabetes. This randomized, controlled, prospective multicenter study was designed to compare intensive medical therapy with surgical treatment (LRYGB or LSG) as a means of improving glycemic control in moderately obese patients (BMI 30-34.9) with type- 2 DM.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the efficacy of intensive medical therapy alone versus medical therapy combines with LRYGB or LSG in controlling type 2 DM in non-morbid obese patients (BMI 30-34.9)

    The primary end point is the proportion of patients with a glycated hemoglobin level of less than 7% (with or without diabetes medications) 12 months after randomization.

    Measured: 12 MONTHS

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the safety of intensive medical therapy alone versus medical therapy combines with LRYGB or LSG in diabetic non-morbid obese patients (BMI 30-34.9).

    The proportion of patients with a glycated hemoglobin level of less than 6% without diabetes medications.

    Measured: 12 MONTHS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Advanced Medical Therapy in people with Overweight and Diabetes Type 2, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

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 11 inclusion and 21 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 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 Israel. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To assess the efficacy of intensive medical therapy alone versus medical therapy combines with LRYGB or LSG in controlling type 2 DM in non-morbid obese patients (BMI 30-34.9) (time frame: 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 1 Mar 2019.
