NCT01162668 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Objective: to assess the health and economic outcomes (weight lost, change in control of chronic diseases such as diabetes, quality of life, work productivity, health care cost, etc) associated with bariatric (weight-loss) surgery for 200 severely obese patients who undergo bariatric surgery as part of the Mississippi State Employees' Life and Health Insurance Plan's Obesity Treatment Program (OTP). 2\. Patient Characteristics: Inclusion criteria: Eligible bariatric surgical candidates who are enrolled in the OTP (100 patients per year for 2 years). The Plan's criteria includes, but is not limited to 1) enrollment in the plan for at least 12 consecutive months prior to September 1, 2009; 2) completion of the HealthQuotient health risk assessment through the Plan's wellness and health promotion program; 3) a Body Mass Index (BMI) of \>40 kg/m2, or a BMI \>35 kg/m2 with two or more co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea or asthma; 4) two or more physician-supervised weight loss attempts within the last 24 months; 5) age 18 years or older; and 6) consent to provide personal and medical information to the Plan. Prior to surgery, each site administers a psychiatric evaluation to ensure the patient is psychologically stable for surgery. Exclusion criteria: any patient who does not meet criteria above or who declines to participate. Surgeries will take place only at Certified Bariatric Surgery Centers of Excellence (COE), of which, there are currently 3 in the state. The 3 COEs exist with 4 outpatient medical offices (1 COE is composed of 2 independent surgeon practices) Patients will be recruited at each site once they are approved by the OTP. 3\. Design: prospective, observational, multi-center, longitudinal study of outcomes and resource utilization associated with OTP. Estimates of obesity and comorbidities' impact will be obtained from the outpatient medical office for the COEs. Medical charts, databases and medical/pharmacy claims will be the so

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01162668
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01162668 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 165 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Mississippi Medical Center, which has 56 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. 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: NCT01162668 reports 4 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Mississippi. 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. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
