Bariatric treatment methods compared for diabetes and metabolism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a less invasive heart/artery-based bariatric treatment (bariatric arterial embolization) with standard weight-loss surgery to see how they affect metabolism and type 2 diabetes. You might be considered if you have obesity with type 2 diabetes and have not had prior bariatric surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Plan to have general anesthesia (you will be fully asleep for the procedure).
- Your BMI is between 33 and 43.
- You have type 2 diabetes based on specific blood sugar test results (including HbA1c and/or an oral glucose test).
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent.
- You are not pregnant, and if you can become pregnant you must use reliable contraception for 2 years.
- You have no prior bariatric surgery and no major recent abdominal surgeries within the last 3 months.

This trial tests a type of weight-loss surgery (called metabolic surgery) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control. It's for people who have struggled to manage their diabetes with standard treatments and have a BMI between 30 and 35.
This study looks at which people with type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) are most likely to benefit from bariatric surgery. It compares people who are planning surgery with healthy volunteers to better understand how body changes relate to blood sugar.
This trial compares surgery plus follow-up care versus the best non-surgical (medical) treatment to help people keep type 2 diabetes in remission for a long time. It may be an option if you have higher body weight and diabetes that’s not well controlled, but safety checks are strict.
This study tests whether bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can improve blood sugar control in people with obesity and either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. You may be enrolled in one of these glucose groups, and the researchers will monitor changes before and after surgery.
This study compares two types of bariatric surgery to see which one works as well as the other for weight loss and health. You may be a candidate if you have a high BMI and specific related health problems, and if certain stomach and digestive issues don’t apply to you.
This trial tests whether a specific type of weight loss surgery can help people with type 2 diabetes stop needing diabetes medication. It is for people with a very high body mass index (BMI over 45) who are currently on diabetes pills or insulin.
