About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate small intestinal remodeling and reprogramming of glucose metabolism in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who undergo laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). Our specific goal is to determine if the gene and protein expression levels of GLUT-1 are up regulated in the Roux limb and whether this is a major mechanism for the remission of T2DM following RYGB.

The two aims of the study are: 1) to demonstrate that the basement membrane glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1) is upregulated in the Roux limb following RYGB, and 2) to demonstrate that the upregulation of GLUT-1 is a major mechanism for the improvement in glycemic control observed in T2DM patients undergoing RYGB.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mix Nutrient MealOther

    Before Surgery: Subjects will have a visit where they will have a mixed nutrient stimulation test. They will be asked to fast for 12 hours prior to this visit (except water). During the visit they will drink an 8 ounce mixed nutrient liquid meal in 5 minute intervals over 20 minutes. During this visit a catheter will be placed in a vein in their arm for blood sample collections. A total of 50 ml of blood will be collected, (10 ml before drinking the mixed nutrient drink, at 30 minutes, at 60 minutes, at 90 minutes and 120 minutes after the mixed nutrient drink).

  • labsOther

    Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and insulin will be added to the standard pre-operative labs.

  • BiopsyOther

    Intra-operatively: Subjects will undergo a standard laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). During the surgery a 2cm tissue sample of the Roux limb will be taken by the doctor and frozen.

  • Second Mix Nutrient MealOther

    2 months post-operatively a second mixed nutrient stimulation test will be performed following the same process used pre-operatively.

  • Second biopsyOther

    . Patients will also be scheduled to undergo a second upper endoscopy and a 2cm biopsy of the Roux limb will be taken by the doctor and frozen in liquid nitrogen.

  • PET/CTDevice

    Lastly, subjects will have a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan with Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to evaluate the glucose in the Roux limb after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Elevated Glut-1 gene and protein expression levels

    Gene and protein expression levels of GLUT-1 will be analyzed from the specimens obtained intra-operatively (baseline) and at 2 months post-operatively to determine if levels are significantly elevated above baseline. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot techniques will be utilized as described in C below.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Glut-1 level change in fasting glucose

    Change in GLUT-1 levels will be correlated with changes in fasting glucose, mixed meal stimulation test, and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). Secondly, at 2 months post-operatively, whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning with Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) will be performed to evaluate glucose uptake and utilization in the Roux limb.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mix Nutrient Meal, labs and Biopsy in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity, run by Duke University.

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Elevated Glut-1 gene and protein expression levels (time frame: 2 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 26 Dec 2016.
