Gastric Bypass Clinical Trials

Summary: The Bialystok Bariatric Surgery Study (BBSS) is a prospective observational cohort study of patients undergoing bariatric surgery at the First Clinical Department of General and Endocrine Surgery at the Medical University of Bialystok. The BBSS consists of a battery of baseline tests established one month prior to the surgery and repeated at one, three, six, twelve and twenty four-month follow-up ...

Summary: The aim of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of bariatric surgery on the disappearance of NASH without worsening of fibrosis in comparison to medical standard treatment in obese patients (35 kg/m² \> BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) with NASH complicated of advanced fibrosis (F3 and F4 fibrosis grade according to Brunt score).

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate weight loss with TORe and intensive lifestyle modification versus intensive lifestyle modification alone in subjects who have regained weight following a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Participants will randomized 2:1. Those randomized to the TORe arm will receive a TORe procedure and intensive lifestyle modification which consists of a well-balanced calor...

Summary: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for long-term weight loss and reducing obesity-related health risks. It alters the gastrointestinal tract as well as metabolic and hormonal functions, influencing eating behaviour. However, weight loss outcomes and long-term maintenance vary between patients, likely due to changes in the gut microbiota. Dietary recommendations aimed at improving mi...

Summary: The recent introduction of the new generation of anti-obesity medications (AOMs) will change the future of obesity treatment. These highly effective medications, such as high-dose semaglutide and tirzepatide, are hormone analogues that augment the incretin function and exert multiple physiological effects by activating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and/or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypep...

Summary: This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study aimed at compareing the impact of stapler reinforcement patches versus standard staplers on postoperative complications in gastrojejunostomy.

Summary: The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial comparing BP and roux limb lengths measuring 30 and 15% respectively of patient's total small bowel length versus current standard practice using fixed lengths. The findings would provide further insight into feasibility of standardizing RYGB limb lengths and optimizing resultant weight loss and metabolic effects. The investigators hypothesiz...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to identify the most effective way to take acid-blocking medications to treat stomach ulcers in patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * is taking an acid-blocking medication by opening the capsule and only taking the contents of the capsule (open-capsule) more or less effective than taking the capsule as a w...

Summary: This study will examine within-subject (pre-post) changes in muscle quality, body composition, and functional response following a concurrent exercise program (aerobic + resistance training) in individuals after bariatric surgery. This is a single-center, prospective, longitudinal, quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-post design. Men and women aged 18 to 60 years who have undergone sleev...

Summary: Obesity with its consequences such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea and cancers, remains a major healthcare problem worldwide. Bariatric surgery, combined with nutritional education and close monitoring, has been shown to be the most effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity resulting in significant and lasting weight loss and impro...

Summary: Late dumping syndrome is a common complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, characterized by postprandial hypoglycemia with significant impact on patient safety and quality of life. Traditional capillary glucose monitoring has limited ability to detect rapid glycemic fluctuations. This prospective randomized study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the iCan i3 continuous glucose mo...

Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if, in patients with severe obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2) and high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD), bariatric surgery compared to medical weight management (MWM) safely reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events. The cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery will also be examined. Separate sub-studies will be performed to examine ...
