A Prospective Consortium Evaluating the Long-term Follow-up of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Enrolled In a Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Bariatric Surgery Versus Medical Management
Initially, 4 teams of investigators conducted randomized controlled trials (RCT) at their own
site to evaluate the effectiveness of bariatric surgery compared to medical/lifestyle
management of type 2 diabetes. Each study followed subjects for a duration of about 1 - 3
years. Following this, a consortium was created to pool data and continue to follow study
participants. This early collaboration of the 4 groups of investigators was supported by
Industry sponsors (Ethicon, Inc and Medtronic-MITG). Now, the investigators have successfully
received a grant from the NIH, as the sole supporter of continued observational follow-up of
study participants.
The continuing aim of this study is to combine data from the 4 studies and follow the
original randomized subjects for an additional 5 years of follow-up. The purpose of the study
is to determine the longer term durability and effectiveness of bariatric surgery compared to
medical/lifestyle intervention on the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

The four investigative groups initiated their individual RCT's at their respective sites to
evaluate the effectiveness of bariatric surgery compared to multidisciplinary medical and
lifestyle management of diabetes and body weight. The original trials were each designed to
assess feasibility over a relatively short duration of follow-up (1-3 years). Individually,
each trial lacked the sample size and duration of follow-up to meaningfully inform clinical
decision making. Together, with the funding provided by the NIH for longer follow-up, the
Consortium trial can provide a unique national resource to address timely and unanswered
clinical questions related to the durability of these alternative management approaches in
patients with T2D and obesity. Together, participants from these studies represent the
largest cohort with diabetes (one third having a BMI <35 kg/m2) ever to undergo randomized
assignment to bariatric surgical procedure vs. medical/lifestyle intervention.
