Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial compares two surgical techniques used during one-anastomosis gastric bypass for severe obesity. One method sets the length of the bypassed intestine based on the patient's measured total small bowel length, while the other uses standard lengths based on body mass index. Researchers will track weight loss, improvement in obesity-related health problems, and complication rates over 12 months. The goal is to see if a personalized approach leads to better outcomes and fewer side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Two surgical techniques for setting the length of the bypassed small intestine during one-anastomosis gastric bypass: one based on the patient's measured total small bowel length, the other based on standard BMI categories.
What this could lead to
If the TSBL-based method works better, it could lead to more effective and safer gastric bypass surgery, with better weight loss and fewer nutritional problems for people with severe obesity.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with a modest number of patients, and the results are interim. The TSBL-based method may not prove superior, and surgery carries risks like infection, bleeding, or nutritional deficiencies.
