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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery
2

Body Mass Index

Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated as body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m²).

Time frame
Baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery
3

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.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery
4

Gastroesophageal Reflux Symptoms Assessed by GERD-Q

Gastroesophageal reflux symptoms will be assessed using the GERD-Q questionnaire.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery
