Data of demographic characteristics, blood glucose fluctuation and variability, daily insulin dosage and clinical outcomes will be collected. After treatment, they will enter the follow-up period for safety and efficacy evaluation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • WMTOther

    Washed microbiota transplantation refers to the infusion of washed microbiota from healthy donor into patients' gastrointestinal tract. Participants will receive three doses of WMT for T1DM.

What is being measured

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

  1. The mean daily insulin dosage of participants

    The mean daily insulin dosage of participants in past week

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. The Blood glucose of Time in Range (TIR, percent) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    The proportion of time spent within the target blood sugar range (typically 3.9 to 10.0mmol/L) over a 24-hour period

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  2. The SD of blood glucose (SDBG, mmol/L) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    The standard deviation of measured values during immediate blood glucose monitoring

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  3. The largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE, mmol/L) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    The range of blood glucose values observed during immediate blood glucose monitoring

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  4. The mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE, mmol/L) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    After filtering out blood glucose fluctuations below a certain threshold (usually 1 SD), the average fluctuation amplitude is calculated based on the direction of the first significant fluctuation

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  5. The mean of daily differences (MODD, mmol/L) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    The average absolute difference between corresponding measured values over a continuous 48-hour period

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  6. The postprandial glucose excursions (PPGE, mmol/L) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    The average absolute difference between post-meal blood glucose taken 2 hours after three meals and the corresponding pre-meal blood glucose.

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  7. The mean blood glucose (MBG, mmol/L) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    Average values obtained from immediate blood glucose monitoring

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  8. The coefficient of variation (CV, percent) of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    CV=(SDBG÷MBG)×100%

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  9. The frequency of hypoglycemia or duration of hypoglycemic state in the last 1 week

    Hypoglycemia is defined as blood glucose < 3.9 mmol/L

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  10. The islet β-cell function after WMT compared with baseline

    2-hour postprandial C-peptide release was used to reflect islet β-cell function

    Measured: Three-day, One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

  11. The incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AE) assessed by CTCAE, Version 5.0

    The severity of AE was graded as mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2), severe/disabling (grade 3), life threatening (grade 4), and death (grade 5). All AE were divided in definitely, probably and possibly related to treatment. The treatment-related AE we focused on included microbiota-related AEs (e.g., infection, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.) and route of delivery related AEs (e.g., nausea, vomiting, etc.)

    Measured: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes, 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 4 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2026. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Faming Zhang, PhD (086-025-58509883, fzhang@njmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The mean daily insulin dosage of participants (time frame: One-week, Two-week, Four-week post-WMT). 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 NCT06256614, which also lists 18 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 26 Oct 2026.
