New surgical method to reduce acid reflux after weight loss surgery
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your weight (BMI) is between 35 and 55, and you have completed at least 6 months of nonsurgical weight management.
- You have been diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux) confirmed by a pH test showing acid exposure time of 4.9% or more.
- You have health insurance that covers bariatric surgery and the related medical care.
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you must use effective birth control and have a negative pregnancy test before starting and before surgery.
- You have not had any prior weight loss surgery or surgery for reflux, and do not have certain other health problems like a large hiatal hernia, severe esophageal disorder, or active cancer.

This study compares two common weight-loss surgeries (gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy) to see which is better at treating acid reflux in people with obesity. If you have reflux and are considering surgery, this trial will randomly put you in one of the two surgery groups.
This study checks whether a surgical “fix” (omentumpexy) can reduce acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. It’s mainly for adults having sleeve surgery who have a higher-risk body weight and related health problems.
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries for people who have both obesity and severe heartburn or GERD. One surgery combines part of the stomach removal with an anti-reflux wrap, while the other reroutes the stomach to help with weight loss and reflux.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to convert a sleeve gastrectomy into a different type of weight-loss surgery (SASI) in people who have ongoing gastroesophageal reflux or haven't lost enough weight. The goal is to see if this endoscopic procedure can improve reflux and help with weight loss without the need for a traditional surgery.
This study looks at whether an extra step during weight-loss surgery (called omentopexy) helps reduce new heartburn or acid reflux that can develop after the surgery. It compares patients who get the standard sleeve gastrectomy to those who get it with this extra step.
This study looks at complications after a type of weight-loss surgery called sleeve gastrectomy (removing part of the stomach). If you are considering this surgery and meet the weight/health guidelines, you may be able to join to help doctors learn more about risks and recovery.
