About this trial
The GLUBARI trial is a prospective, randomized, single-center clinical study comparing two bariatric surgical procedures in adults with morbid obesity: Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass (SASI) and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). The main objective is to compare glycemic variability between the two procedures using continuous glucose monitoring. Participants will undergo continuous glucose monitoring for 7 days before surgery and again at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Secondary outcomes include hypoglycemic events, weight loss, resolution of obesity-related comorbidities, postoperative complications, gastroesophageal reflux, nutritional deficiencies, and quality of life. A total of 68 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to SASI or RYGB and followed for 12 months after surgery.

Treatments tested in this trial
Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass
Procedure/SurgeryBariatric surgical procedure consisting of sleeve gastrectomy with a single gastroileal anastomosis.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Procedure/SurgeryBariatric surgical procedure consisting of gastric pouch creation with gastrojejunal and jejunojejunal anastomoses.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Glycemic Variability Assessed by Glucose Coefficient of Variation
Glycemic variability will be assessed using the glucose coefficient of variation (CV), calculated from 7 days of continuous glucose monitoring as the standard deviation of glucose divided by mean glucose concentration × 100. CV will be assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery and compared between the SASI and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass groups.
Secondary outcomes
Hypoglycemic Events Detected by Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Number and frequency of symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycemic events detected during 7 days of continuous glucose monitoring. Symptomatic events will also be recorded using the participant event diary.
Body Mass Index
Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated as body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m²).
Patient-Reported Outcomes Assessed by BODY-Q
Patient-reported outcomes related to quality of life and body image will be assessed using the BODY-Q questionnaire.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Symptoms Assessed by GERD-Q
Gastroesophageal reflux symptoms will be assessed using the GERD-Q questionnaire.
