Brief Summary:
This is a pilot project to determine the feasibility of recruiting, enrolling, treating, and following 24 older sleeve gastrectomy patients into a randomized controlled trial (RCT) examining the efficacy of bisphosphonate use versus placebo in the prevention of surgical weight loss associated loss of bone mass and quality.
Detailed Description:
This pilot study is a RCT, involving 24 participants randomized to Risedronate or placebo capsules for 24 weeks. All subjects planning a sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedure will be approached during their pre-surgical evaluation for possible participation in the study. Eligible participants will be referred onto the study coordinator to read/sign an IRB-approved informed consent prior to enrollment.
Two in-person baseline assessment visits \[baseline visit 1 (BV1), baseline visit 2 (BV2)\] occurring 1-6 weeks prior to surgery, and two in-person follow up assessment visits \[follow up visit 1 (FV1) and follow up visit 2 (FV2)\] occurring ±2 weeks from their 23-week post-surgery date will be conducted, as well as monthly medication compliance reminders and adverse event reporting via phone. Optional additional exploratory assessments include CT-derive bone health and blood-based biomarkers, as well as 12-month DXA, CT, and blood assessments. The Wake Forest WMC, under the direction of Drs. Ard and Fernandez, will serve as a source of recruitment for potential study participants.
