Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) + Lifestyle intervention (LSI) & Adiposity / Obesity

Clinical data

• NCT03127696 - Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) + Lifestyle intervention (LSI) vs Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) vs Lifestyle intervention (LSI) & Adiposity / obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)

This randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial demonstrated modest yet biologically plausible effects on reducing adiposity and improving obesity-related parameters. However, it has not yet reached the level of being a robust, stand-alone weight-loss therapy when compared to the effects of diet and exercise alone.
