Overview

Brief Summary

The study plans to learn more about what happens to the body after bariatric surgery in people 12 to 24 years old. The study aims to understand why people respond differently to bariatric surgery and how to define success beyond weight loss alone. The study also plans to learn more about whether a medication (semaglutide) can help people 12 to 24 years old who, between 1 and 2 years after bariatric surgery, have not lost as much weight as expected.

Arms & Interventions

Active Medication + Standard Postoperative Care

Participants can be enrolled between 1 and 2 years postoperatively and will receive usual interdisciplinary postoperative care plus weekly subcutaneous injectable semaglutide for 26 weeks. Initial dose is 0.25mg and is escalated every 4 weeks as tolerated (0.5mg, 1.0mg, 1.7mg, 2.4mg) for a total exposure of 26 weeks.

Intervention: Injectable semaglutide

Active Medication + Standard Postoperative Care

Participants can be enrolled between 1 and 2 years postoperatively and will receive usual interdisciplinary postoperative care plus weekly subcutaneous injectable semaglutide for 26 weeks. Initial dose is 0.25mg and is escalated every 4 weeks as tolerated (0.5mg, 1.0mg, 1.7mg, 2.4mg) for a total exposure of 26 weeks.

Intervention: Standard postoperative care

Standard Postoperative Care

Participants can be enrolled between 1 and 2 years postoperatively and will receive usual interdisciplinary postoperative care.

Intervention: Standard postoperative care

Observational

Participants complete a set of standardized measures before bariatric surgery, 3 months postoperatively, and 12 months postoperatively.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Observational phase: Change in fasting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1), measured by blood levels

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months postoperatively

GLP1 levels are measured prior to an oral mixed meal tolerance test

Observational phase: Change in stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1), measured by blood levels

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months postoperatively

GLP1 levels are measured during an oral mixed meal tolerance test

Observational phase: Change in indexed left ventricular mass (g/m to the 2.7th power), measured by echocardiogram

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months postoperatively

Resting supine 2-dimensional echocardiogram

Observational phase: Change in insulin sensitivity (IS), measured by fasting blood insulin levels

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months postoperatively

Fasting insulin levels are measured. IS is defined as 1/fasting insulin

Observational phase: Change in percent fat free mass (FFM), measured by whole body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months postoperatively

Percent FFM is calculated as (1-Percent Fat Mass) from DXA

Intervention phase: Change in BMI

Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks

\[(BMI at 26 weeks-Weight at Intervention Baseline)\]/(BMI at Intervention Baseline)\] \* 100

Observational phase: Change in resting metabolic rate (RMR), measured by canopy indirect calorimetry

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months postoperatively

RMR from canopy indirect calorimetry

Observational phase: Change in 24 hour systolic blood pressure (BP), measured by ambulatory BP monitor

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months postoperatively

Mean 24 hour systolic BP

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change in fasting Peptide YY (PYY), measured by blood levels(Baseline, 12 months postoperatively)
  • Change in stimulated Peptide YY (PYY), measured by blood levels(Baseline, 12 months postoperatively)
  • Intervention Phase: Eligibility rate(Up to 150 weeks)
  • Intervention Phase: Mean maximum tolerated semaglutide dose(Baseline, 26 weeks)
  • Change in fasting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1), measured by blood levels(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1), measured by blood levels(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in fasting ghrelin, measured by blood levels(Baseline, 12 months postoperatively)
  • Change in stimulated ghrelin, measured by blood levels(Baseline, 12 months postoperatively)
  • Change in insulin sensitivity (IS), measured by fasting blood insulin levels(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in 24 hour systolic blood pressure (BP), measured by ambulatory BP monitor(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in percent fat free mass (FFM), measured by whole body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in resting metabolic rate (RMR), measured by canopy indirect calorimetry(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in indexed left ventricular mass (g/m to the 2.7th power), measured by echocardiogram(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Intervention Phase: Enrollment rate(Up to 154 weeks)
  • Intervention Phase: Retention rate(Up to 184 weeks)
  • Intervention Phase: Number of participants with at least one serious adverse event (AE) in the active medication group, measured by a count(Up to 30 weeks)
  • Intervention Phase: Number of participants with an adverse event (AE) that leads to discontinuation of the medication, measured by a count(Up to 30 weeks)
  • Change in fasting Peptide YY (PYY), measured by blood levels(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in stimulated Peptide YY (PYY), measured by blood levels(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in fasting ghrelin, measured by blood levels(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
  • Change in stimulated ghrelin, measured by blood levels(Baseline, 3 months postoperatively)
