Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Compare functional improvement of T2D using the Magnet System in duodeno-ileostomy for intestinal diversion versus semaglutide in eligible participants with obesity (BMI 30 - 40 kg/m2) and T2D (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%).

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30 - 40 kg/m2 and qualifies for obesity treatment at the discretion of the treating investigator (i.e., must be assessed to qualify for both surgery and medication treatment to justify randomization).
  • Type 2 diabetes (T2D defined as HbA1c ≥ 6.5%).
  • Participant agrees to refrain from additional metabolic and bariatric (MBS) or reconstructive surgery that would affect body weight for the duration of the study.
  • Participant agrees to refrain from taking any additional semaglutide-containing or other GLP-1RA medication for the duration of the study, regardless of randomization assignment (i.e., Surgery or Medication).

Participant has been informed of the nature of the study and is willing and able to comply with requirements, including randomization, and provides written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Meets any of the contraindications for either treatment arm (Surgery: Magnet System; or Medication: semaglutide), thereby prohibiting randomization
  • Current or previous metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) treatment in the previous 12 months (e.g., sleeve gastrectomy, intragastric balloons, adjustable gastric banding).
  • Taking or treated with semaglutide, semaglutide-containing medications, or any other GLP-1RA medication in the previous 12 months.
  • Pregnant, lactating or planning pregnancy during the clinical study and follow-up period.
  • Currently participating in an investigational drug, biologic, or medical device or other interventional clinical study.
  • Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or medical, social or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, would contraindicate either treatment arm or could limit the participant's ability to participate in the clinical study or to comply with follow-up requirements.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
March 18, 2026

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
