Weight-loss surgery with a new intestinal rerouting technique
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of weight-loss surgery that combines a sleeve gastrectomy with a rerouting of part of the intestine. It is designed to help people with severe obesity lose weight and improve conditions like type 2 diabetes, and it may be an option for people who have already had a sleeve gastrectomy but need another procedure.

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 trial studies a specific type of metabolic (weight-related) surgery for people whose sleeve gastrectomy did not lead to enough weight loss or has caused significant weight regain. It may help improve long-term weight and related health problems.
This study tests a weight-loss procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (a stomach-reducing procedure done through a scope) in people with both obesity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It aims to see if the procedure is safe and helpful for this group.
This trial tests a procedure that reshapes the stomach and treats the upper intestine to help control blood sugar and weight in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. It may be an option if you have a moderate to high need for metabolic surgery.
This study tests whether two weight-loss operations (sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) can improve type 2 diabetes. It may help people with higher body weight and diabetes control, but it also requires meeting safety and health criteria.
This trial tests a tube-like device placed in the upper gut to help people with obesity and related health problems lose weight. It may be an option if you haven't lost a lot of weight recently or taken certain medications.
