Nerve-Cutting surgery may boost diabetes remission after gastric bypass
NCT ID NCT07278115
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares standard gastric bypass surgery to bypass plus a nerve-cutting procedure (truncal vagotomy) in 40 adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if the added nerve cut helps more people achieve diabetes remission without medication for at least a year. Participants will be followed for 12 months after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with or without truncal vagotomy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a more effective surgical approach for lasting diabetes remission in people with obesity.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants. The added vagotomy may not improve outcomes and could increase surgical risks or side effects.
