Proteomic study of bariatric surgery patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at proteins in the blood of people having bariatric surgery to understand how the surgery affects the body. It may help find ways to improve outcomes.

This trial looks at obesity care in people who have already had bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or certain abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand what treatments or follow-up care could work best for you after surgery.
This study looks at how certain immune cells (mast cells and macrophages) and small blood vessels change in the stomach tissue of people who have weight loss surgery. It may help researchers better understand how the body responds to surgery and weight loss.
This trial is building a database of people with obesity who have had or are planning to have weight loss surgery (metabolic or bariatric surgery). It helps doctors learn more about long-term results and safety.
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
This study looks at how fat build-up in the liver relates to metabolism in people who are scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. By doing special blood tests and MRI scans, researchers hope to better understand liver health and improve care.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects fat metabolism, immune cells, and cancer risk in women with severe obesity and high cholesterol. If you are a woman aged 35–60, White or Black, with a BMI of 40 or higher and high triglycerides or LDL, you may be eligible.
