Study Summary

This trial is being done to see if a type of weight-loss surgery is effective and safe. The surgery is called SADI-S, and it's being compared to another type of surgery called BPD-DS.

This trial is for adults aged 18-60 who meet the criteria for bariatric surgery. They must be able to give informed consent. It's not suitable for those with poor support/compliance, heart failure, advanced kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, pulmonary hypertension, cirrhosis or severe GERD.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two weight loss surgeries in obese patients: BPD-DS and a newer version called SADI-S. The goal is to see if SADI-S is as safe and effective as BPD-DS in the short and long term.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include frequent bowel movements, flatulence, malnutrition (fat, micronutrient and protein), which are common concerns with BPD-DS; these may also apply to SADI-S.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: SADI-SExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
SADI-S involves creating a sleeve gastrectomy but simplifies the bypass part of the BPD-DS by a single anastomosis of a loop of jejunum at 250cm from the ileocecal valve (longer common channel) to the transected first-stage of the duodenum instead of the Roux-en-Y construct.
Group II: BPD-DSActive Control1 Intervention
BPD-DS involves creating a sleeve gastrectomy and creation of a Roux-en-Y bypass involving a Roux limb (150cm) which is anastomosed to the transected first-stage of the duodenum and a short common channel (100cm).
