Identification of Human Biomarkers Predictive of Diabetes Remission in Type 2 Diabetes Patient (BARIAKINES) (BARIAKINES)

Identification of Human Circulating Adipocyte and Muscle Biomarkers Potentially Predictive of Diabetes Remission After Bariatric Surgery in Obese and Type 2 Diabetic Subjects.

This study focuses on identifying potentially predictive human circulating adipocyte and muscle biomarkers of diabetes remission after bariatric surgery in obese type 2 diabetic (T2D) subjects.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: blood samples; Procedure: collection of body tissues; Procedure: routine care procedure

Detailed Description

The study team at the Institute of Metabolic and Cardiovascular Diseases has recently identified several potential biomarkers (secreted by skeletal muscle and adipose tissue) of glucose homeostasis control using secretomic and metabolomic analyses. The goal of this study is to assess whether the addition of 9 adipocytes and myocytes plasma level could be associated with type 2 diabetes remission one year after bariatric surgery and would improve established clinical models of prediction of diabetes remission.

Thus, obese type 2 diabetes patients undergoing bariatric surgery will have 2 blood samples, a muscle sample and one adipose tissue sample withdrawn during the study. From those samples, concentrations of 9 candidate proteins is measured : GDF6, INHBB, IL17B, TGFB2, TIMP1, VTN, MDK, GDF15, and apoM

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Correlation between plasma levels of 9 target molecules and diabetes remission	The correlation between plasma levels of 9 target molecules (1 for each molecule) and diabetes remission will be evaluated through plasmatic dosages. The plasma determination of apolipoprotein M will be performed by mass spectrometry, and the 8 other molecules will be determined by the ELISA technique. The dosage is measured in mmol/l. Complete remission of T2DM will be defined according to the following criteria: HbA1c < 5.7% and fasting blood glucose < 5.6 mmol/l. Partial remission of T2DM will be defined as: HbA1c between 5.7 and 6.5% and fasting blood glucose between 5.6 and 6.9 mmol/l without any antidiabetic treatment. Finally, the absence of remission will include patients whose HbA1c is greater than or equal to 6.5% or fasting blood glucose greater than or equal to 7 mmol/l with one or more antidiabetic treatments.	Immediately before the Surgery (day 0)

Finally, the absence of remission will include patients whose HbA1c is greater than or equal to 6.5% or fasting blood glucose greater than or equal to 7 mmol/l with one or more antidiabetic treatments.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Areas under the ROC curves of different logistic regression models fitted to known clinical prediction scores (DiaRem, Ad-DiaRem).	The DiaRem and Ad-DiaRem scores are weighted scoring systems based on initial pre-surgical factors that were specifically created to predict remission of type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery.
