Can Copeptin and Thirst Predict Weight-Loss Surgery Success?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether levels of a blood marker called copeptin and your sense of thirst can help predict how well bariatric (weight-loss) surgery works. If you are eligible, you will have blood tests and answer questions about thirst before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your BMI must be 40 or higher, OR 35 or higher with at least one obesity-related health problem (like high blood pressure or sleep apnea).
- You cannot have diabetes (any type), cancer, or an active acute illness.
- You cannot have severe kidney, liver, brain, or central nervous system disease.
- You cannot be taking certain medications (like diuretics, antipsychotics, GLP-1 drugs, or hormone therapy) that might affect the substances we measure in the blood.

This study is creating a system to predict how well people do after weight-loss surgery for severe obesity. It focuses on patients getting either a sleeve gastrectomy or a gastric bypass and aims to improve recovery and long-term results.
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
This study looks at how your sense of taste works before and after bariatric weight-loss surgery. It may help doctors understand why eating patterns change after surgery.
This study tests whether weight-loss surgery improves how your body uses insulin and energy. It compares insulin sensitivity and related measurements before and after surgery to understand who benefits.
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 for traits (like health measurements or medical factors) that can help predict who will successfully lose weight and keep it off. It may help researchers personalize weight-loss plans in the future.
