Brief summary

Obesity with its consequences such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea and cancers, remains a major healthcare problem worldwide. Bariatric surgery, combined with nutritional education and close monitoring, has been shown to be the most effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity resulting in significant and lasting weight loss and improvements in co-morbidities . With nearly 50000 procedures per year France ranks third in the world in terms of care for patients suffering from morbid (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²) and severe (BMI 35-40 kg/m²) obesity. In parallel with the significant increase in the number of patients operated on for obesity in the world, over the past two decades, significant development has been observed in the field of bariatric surgery with a decrease or even disappearance of some procedures and the appearance of others. Performed for more than 40 years, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure and currently is considered as gold standard procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity and its comorbidities. However, despite the good effectiveness (with an average Excess Weight Loss % (EWL%) of approximatively 70% at 2 years), RYGB is technically demanding procedure with learning curve requiring more than 100 cases and an overall complication rate ranging from 10% to 20% Introduced in 2001, one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a modified gastric bypass that consists of a single gastrojejunal anastomosis between a long gastric pouch and a jejunal (biliopancreatic) omega loop. In Sept. 2019, taking into account the results from YOMEGA trial, the French High Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS)) recommended to ban OAGB with 200 cm or longer BPL and urged to assess the efficacy and safety of OAGB with 150 cm BPL in a randomized controlled trial. Indeed, YOMEGA-2 trial is logical continuity of the YOMEGA trial. The aim of this study is to assess weight loss efficiency and the nutritional safety of the OAGB-150 in comparison to a standard (RYGB). The hypothesis of this study is that the OAGB with a 150 cm BPL could have the same efficacy on weight loss and nutritional complication rate in comparison to the RYGB at 2 years.

Interventions

PROCEDURELaparoscopic OAGB

It is a gastric bypass surgery with a unique gastro-jejunal anastomosis, a long (11-14cm) and narrow (3-4cm) gastric pouch will be created by applying one horizontal 45-mm stapler at the angle of lesser curvature, just above the left branch of the crow's foot, and then four to five vertical 60-mm staple cartridges will be placed upwards to the angle of His, and calibrated along a 32-Fr bougie. Sectioning of the greater omentum into a bivalve will be performed. The jejunum will be measured using pre-measured strip and amounted antecolically at 150 cm from the ligament of Treitz. An end-to-side anastomosis will be performed with the gastric pouch, using a 45-mm linear stapler and an anterior running suture to close gastro-enterotomy.

PROCEDURELaparoscopic RYGB

A small gastric pouch (30cc) will be created using a linear stapler. The alimentary limb will be moved up into an antecolic position after an epiploic transection so as to perform the gastro-jujunal anastomosis. The gastro-jejunostomy will be performed manually or using a linear or circular stapler. An alimentary limb of 150 cm and a biliary limb of 50cm will be measured (using premeasured strip) in order to perform the latero-lateral jejuno-jejunal anastomosis using a linear stapler. All mesenteric defects (Petersen's space and mesenteric defect) will be closed with a non-absorbable running suture

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To demonstrate that OAGB with 150 cm biliopancreatic limb is not inferior to RYGB on weight loss (efficacy).2 years after the surgeryFor each patient co-primary endpoints will be assessed at 2 years after surgery composed by: Efficacy: Weight loss according to Excess Weight Loss % (EWL%) calculated using the following formula: ((weight 2 years after surgery - initial weight) / (initial weight - ideal weight)) x 100. Ideal weight defined as the weight corresponding to a BMI = 25 kg/m². The assessment of the primary co-endpoint will be standardized between the sites.
To demonstrate that OAGB with 150 cm biliopancreatic limb is not inferior to RYGB on nutritional complication rate (safety)2 years after the surgeryFor each patient co-primary endpoints will be assessed at 2 years after surgery composed by: Safety: Nutritional complications defined by at least one vitamin deficiency (vit. B1 \< 66nmol/l or B12 \< 145pmol/l), malnutrition (albumin \< 30g/l), anemia (hemoglobin \< 10g/dl) or a combination of these.
