Comparing two types of gastric bypass surgery for weight loss
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a new version of gastric bypass (with a longer 150cm bypassed segment) to the standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to see which leads to better weight loss and health improvements. It is for people with severe obesity who are already scheduled for surgery and want to help find the best procedure.

This study compares two surgical methods used for weight loss: OAGB and a longer-limb Roux gastric bypass. It may help find which option works best for people with severe obesity and obesity-related health problems.
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 study compares two different ways of measuring the length of the small intestine during a type of weight loss surgery called gastric bypass. If you are eligible, you may help determine which approach leads to better weight loss results.
This study looks at whether a gastric bypass surgery with a longer intestine segment or a longer bile drainage segment leads to better type 2 diabetes remission in people with severe obesity. It may help doctors choose the most effective surgical approach and follow-up plan for diabetes improvement.
This trial compares two types of gastric bypass surgery (Extended Pouch Gastric Bypass and One-anastomosis Gastric Bypass) to see which works better for people with a BMI of 45 or higher. You could help doctors find the best approach for weight loss and health improvement.
This study looks at whether a specific stomach bypass revision (a “distal gastric bypass”) can improve outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass when weight loss was not enough or weight was regained. You may be considered if you meet weight-loss goals criteria and can join follow-up and possibly surgery.
