Washed Microbiota Transplantation for Diabetic Gastroparesis

At least 44 subjects who meet all the inclusion criteria but do not meet any exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study. Data of demographic characteristics, Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI), Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM), Gastroparesis Core Symptom Daily Diary (GCS-DD), Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders-Quality of Life (PAGI-QoL), and clinical outcomes will be collected. After treatment, they will enter the follow-up period for efficacy and safety evaluation.

Inclusion criteria

Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to enter the study:

• Diagnosed with diabetes for over 1 year;
• Accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal bloating, early satiety, persisting for at least 3 months, with a GCSI Total Score greater than/equal to 2.3;
• Objective evidence of delayed gastric emptying within the past 3 months, including but not limited to scintigraphic gastric emptying or gastric ultrasound;
• Upper gastrointestinal obstructive lesions were ruled out by imaging or endoscopic examination within the past 3 months;
• Males and nonpregnant, non-breastfeeding females who are aged more than 18 years and sign the informed consent form;
• The subject or his/her legal representative gives informed consent, fully understands the purpose of the study, is able to communicate effectively with the investigator, and comprehends and complies with the requirements set forth in the study.

• Have any upper gastrointestinal pathology other than diabetic gastroparesis that would require therapy other than that provided in this trial;
• Have a prior history of gastric surgery, including but not limited to gastric bypass, gastrectomy, gastric banding, pyloroplasty, fundoplication, or vagotomy in past 1 year;
