NCT06071559

Brief Summary

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to examine circulating biomarkers before and after weight loss in patients with obesity, with or without concomitant diabetes, undergoing bariatric surgery. The main questions that are being addressed are:

  • Do biomarkers of hemostasis, including coagulation, fibrinolysis, and platelet function improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes?
  • Do biomarkers of endothelial function and other aspects of vascular function improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes?
  • Do biomarkers of inflammation, including markers of adipocyte function, improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes?
  • The possible role of circulating extracellular vesicles reflecting biological functions above will also be investigated (optional) Participants will be asked to attend in total five study visits before and after surgery including a final visit at two years post-surgery. Comparisons will be performed within- as well as between groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Blood tests for endothelial function comparing two years after surgery with baseline (below referred to as "changes in").

    Outcome measure: * Change in Hyaluronan (ng/ml) * Change in Syndacan-1 (ng/ml) * Change in E-selectin (ng/ml) * Change in Thrombomodulin (pg/ml) * Change in von Willebrand factor (%)

    before surgery - 2 years after surgery

  • Blood tests for fibrinolysis comparing two years after surgery with baseline (below referred to as "changes in").

    Outcome measure: * Change in PAI-1 activity (IU/ml) * Change in Fibrinogen (pg/ml) * Change in tPA activity (IU/ml) * Change in PAP complex (ng/ml) * Change in turbidimetric values - LagC (s) * Change in turbidimetric values - LagL (s) * Change in turbidimetric values - MaxAbsC (au) * Change in turbidimetric values - MaxAbsL (au * Change in turbidimetric values - Lys50MA (s) * Change in turbidimetric values - CRC (au/s) * Change in turbidimetric values - CRL (au/s)

    before surgery - 2 years after surgery

  • Blood tests for inflammation comparing two years after surgery with baseline (below referred to as "changes in").

    Outcome measure: * Change in high sensitivity CRP (microg/ml) * Change in soluble IL6 receptor (ng/mL) * Change in IL6 (pg/mL) * Change in soluble gp130 (ng/mL) * Change in TNFalfa (pg/ml)

    before surgery - 2 years after surgery

  • Blood tests for extracellular vesicles comparing two years after surgery with baseline (below referred to as "changes in").

    Exploratory analyses of extracellular vesicles (EV) in plasma using flow cytometry. EV exposing antigens of cell specific origin and/or biologically active molecules will be assessed. Outcome measure: Change in number of EVs (number of EV/micoL)

    before surgery - 2 years after surgery
