Bariatric Surgery and Weight Loss on Energy Metabolism and Insulin Sensitivity
NCT00936130 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of three weight loss surgeries compared to a low calorie diet with regard to energy expenditure, body composition, insulin sensitivity, and the response of gastrointestinal peptides to a standard meal. Baseline assessments will be conducted in all four groups and changes will be compared six and fifty-two weeks post-operatively.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00936130
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00936130 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 48 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Pennington Biomedical Research Center, which has 142 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00936130 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Louisiana. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
