What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effects of two types of metabolic surgeries—sleeve gastrectomy (SG) with duodenojejunal bypass (DJB) and SG alone—on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have poor blood sugar control despite current medical treatments but still retain some pancreatic beta-cell function. The study targets patients using insulin for less than 10 years or those taking diabetic medications with HbA1c levels of 7.0% or higher for less than 10 years. The goal is to compare which surgical approach provides better diabetes control in this group. In this randomized trial, one group will receive sleeve gastrectomy alone, where part of the stomach is surgically reduced using a bougie tube for guidance. The other group will undergo sleeve gastrectomy combined with duodenojejunal bypass, which involves rerouting the small intestine to bypass part of the duodenum and jejunum, potentially affecting nutrient absorption. Both surgical procedures are performed with specific technical details, such as the size and location of stapling and anastomosis. The study will follow participants for up to 10 years, assessing various health outcomes over time. Participants will be monitored for diabetes remission rates, hypertension and hyperlipidemia improvements, nutritional deficiencies, changes in body weight and composition, quality of life, and complications both early (within 30 days) and late (beyond 30 days) after surgery. Assessments will take place at multiple intervals, including 1, 3, 5, and 10 years after surgery. The study aims to provide long-term data on the metabolic effects and safety of these surgical options for T2DM treatment in Asian patients with moderate obesity.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Surgery and Immediate Post-operative Care

Duration - Day of surgery plus immediate recovery period

Participants undergo either sleeve gastrectomy alone or sleeve gastrectomy with duodenojejunal bypass as surgical treatments for type 2 diabetes.

1 surgery visit and approximately 1 to 2 post-operative visits

Post-operative Follow-up

Duration - Up to 10 years after surgery

Participants are monitored for complications and metabolic outcomes after surgery, with assessments occurring over several years to evaluate diabetes remission and other health changes.

Follow-up visits at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years after surgery
