Trial summary

The gut microbiota is considered to constitute a "microbial organ" which has pivotal roles in the body's metabolism. Evidence from animal and human studies strongly support the link between intestinal bacteria and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Efficiency of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The gut microbiota is considered to constitute a "microbial organ" which has pivotal roles in the body's metabolism. Evidence from animal and human studies strongly support the link between intestinal bacteria and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present clinical trial aims to re-establish a gut functionality state of intestinal flora through fecal microbiota transplantation.

Read the detailed description

We established a standard bacteria isolation from donated fresh stool in lab.Then the bacteria is transplanted to mid-gut (at least below the second part of duodenum ) through regular gastroscope. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive fecal microbiota transplantation only once or traditional therapy, and accept follow-up for at least one year. Blood tests,OGTT and magnetic resonance spectroscopy will be used to assess participants at study start and at study completion.

Receives: Procedure: FMT through mid-gut

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Efficiency of FMT on T2DM

    Confirmed by the tests of blood glucose level, OGTT, HACb1 and C-peptide.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Durability

    Measure the durability of the therapy effects.Based on the tests of blood glucose level, HACb1 and C-peptide. BMI also will be observed.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing FMT through mid-gut in people with Efficiency and Methodology, run by The Second Hospital of Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Efficiency of FMT on T2DM (time frame: Up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01790711, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Nov 2014.
