About this study

Official title: Liraglutide Effectiveness in Preoperative Weight-loss for Patients With Severe Obesity Undergoing Bariatric-metabolic Surgery.

Severe obesity is associated with considerable reduction of wellbeing and life expectancy. People living with severe obesity tend to die 8 to 10 years earlier. Preoperative management of patients living with severe obesity can be challenging and proper weight-loss may help obtain better outcomes and less morbidity. The effectiveness of GLP-1 analogue Liraglutide in preoperative weight-loss was evaluated in the study.

Objective:

Determine liraglutide effectiveness for preoperative weight-loss in patients with severe obesity undergoing bariatric-metabolic surgery.

Methods:

It is a single center, quasi-experimental prospective before-and-after study. All patients were assigned the same pharmacological treatment with liraglutide, initiating dosing with 0.6 mg per day escalating 0.6 mg every week up to 3.0 mg. The treatment dose was delivered once daily via subcutaneous injection for 3 months (12 weeks). Weight-loss and percentage weight-loss was evaluated monthly using bioelectric impedance (BIA) final result at week 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Liraglutide injection in people with Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Candidate, run by Hospital Civil Juan I. Menchaca at 1 site in Mexico.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 18 Jan 2024. 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 Mexico. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

Preoperative weight changes (time frame: 3 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 18 Jan 2024.
