The Endocrine Secretome After Gastric Bypass Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Examination of the molecular phenotype and composition of endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract correlated to analyses of blood for hormones/analytes before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in morbidly obese individuals both with and without type 2 diabetes

Clinical Trial Description

Enteroscopy was conducted during sedation with Propofol®. The pre-surgical sampling included biopsies retrieved from the stomach and at the expected site of anastomosis. During RYGB surgery, a ~1 cm gut tissue sample was removed at the site of anastomosis. The post-surgical enteroscopy ~3 months after RYGB surgery included biopsies taken from the gastric pouch, the alimentary limb, the biliopancreatic limb and common channel. One sample from each location was immersion-fixated in formalin for subsequent histological analyses and one sample was placed in a tube with RNA-preserving media for mRNA expression analysis. Remaining samples were snap-frozen and stored at -80°C until further processing.

Enteroendocrine cells were identified and isolated from biopsies obtained at several sites in the small intestine by using immunohistochemistry and laser capture technology. Isolated individual enteroendocrine cells were extensively characterised by next generation sequencing (Illumina NGS).

The participants also went through four mixed meal tests with blood sampling performed: before an 8 % diet-induced weight loss was initiated and one week before/one week after/3 months after RYGB surgery. Blood was sampled at several specific time points.

The plasma, serum and urine collected from study participants before and after RYGB surgery will be analysed for biomarkers/analytes and correlated with clinical data (weight, BMI, waist/hip ratio, blood pressure) and molecular phenotype found in gut samples.

To study changes in gut bacteria (microbiota) composition stool samples were collected during the study and will be analysed for microbiota composition by means of bacterial DNA sequencing. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
