CLIMB II Trial Summary

"This trial will compare two different techniques for weight loss surgery. One technique uses fixed lengths for certain parts of the surgery, while the other adjusts the lengths based on the patient's small bowel length. The

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with obesity, specifically those who are candidates for Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery. Participants should be willing to undergo a surgical procedure where the lengths of certain parts of their small bowel will be adjusted based on their total small bowel length.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if adjusting the limb lengths in RYGB surgery to match individual patient's anatomy leads to better weight loss and health outcomes compared to using standard fixed limb lengths. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the adjusted or standard surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from RYGB surgery can include nutritional deficiencies, digestive issues such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and complications related to the surgical procedure itself.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To determine change in TWL after aRYGB compared to sRYGB in morbidly obese patients
Secondary outcome measures
To compare rates of DM resolution between aRYGB Vs sRYGB by DM subgroup analysis
To investigate postoperative efficacy rates of aRYGB compared to sRYGB on alleviating metabolic syndrome in morbid obesity
To investigate the presence of postoperative vitamin and nutritional deficiencies between the groups.
