About this study
Official title: A Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (RT-CGM) in the Management of Type 1 Diabetes
Subjects with intensively-treated type 1 diabetes and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 7.0%-10.0% in 3 age groups (>25, 15-24, 8-14) will be randomized to a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) group or control group. The primary outcome is change in HbA1c after 26 weeks. A parallel randomized trial is being conducted for a second cohort with HbA1c <7.0% that will follow an identical protocol to that of the first cohort with HbA1c >=7.0%.
The >=7.0% trial was specifically designed and statistically powered to compare separately the impact of continuous versus standard intensive glucose monitoring in the three age groups. Both trials used standardized treatment algorithms and equivalent frequent contacts with subjects in both the CGM and control group.
After completion of the 26-week trial, the CGM group continues to use CGM for another 26 weeks to evaluate whether any beneficial effect seen in the first 6 months is sustained with longer-term use and less intensive contact and the control group initiates CGM use with less intensive contact after the first month than was provided at initiation of CGM use in the CGM group in the randomized trial.
Read the detailed description
- On the day of enrollment, a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level will be obtained, psychosocial questionnaires will be completed, and instructions will be given for use of the real time continuous glucose monitoring device (RT-CGM). The study personnel will supervise the subject or parent inserting the RT-CGM sensor in the clinic and will instruct the subject or parent to insert a second sensor at home as needed. To obtain a baseline assessment of glycemic control and variability, the RT-CGM used during the first week will be blinded so subjects will not be able to view the data from the sensor. The subject will be instructed to complete at least four glucose measurements a day using the study home glucose meter (HGM) and as needed to calibrate the RT-CGM.
- The subject will return for a second visit about 10 days after the enrollment visit.
- Subjects who have been compliant with use of the RT-CGM and HGM will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: RT-CGM Group or Control Group.
- Compliance will be defined as use of the RT-CGM for at least 6 out of the 7 days prior to the second visit, at least 96 hours of RT-CGM glucose values obtained with at least 24 hours between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and use of the HGM for testing at least 3 times each day prior to the second visit.
- Subjects who are not compliant will be given another opportunity to complete the baseline requirements at the discretion of the investigator.
- For the RT-CGM Group, the RT-CGM, HGM, and pump data (if subject uses an insulin pump) will be reviewed and changes will be made to diabetes management as needed. Subjects/parents will be taught to use the protocol-developed instructions for changes to diabetes management to be used in real time based on RT-CGM and HGM data. Instructions for downloading the RT-CGM and HGM will be provided to subjects with a home computer.
- For the Control Group, a HGM and test strips will be provided. The HGM and pump data (if subject uses an insulin pump) will be reviewed and changes made in diabetes management as needed. The blinded RT-CGM data will be downloaded but will not be reviewed by study personnel until the end of the first 6 months of the study. Subjects and parents will be taught to use the protocol-developed instructions for how to make changes to diabetes management based on HGM data.
- Both groups will have follow-up visits at 1, 4, 8, 13, 19, and 26 weeks (+/- 1 week) plus one phone contact between each visit (including one phone contact between the second visit and the one week visit) to review their diabetes management.
- Both groups will download device data on a weekly basis (if the subject has a computer). Subjects with email access will be instructed to email the downloaded data to the clinical center prior to each phone contact.
- For both groups, at each visit, the HGM and pump (if subject uses an insulin pump) will be downloaded and for the RT-CGM Group, the RT-CGM will be downloaded.
- In the 13th and 26th weeks, the Control Group will use a blinded RT-CGM for one week. The RT-CGM Group will continue to use the unblinded RT-CGM. The Control Group will return the blinded RT-CGM to the clinic after a week. The data will be reviewed by personnel who are not involved in the care of the subject to determine if additional blinded sensor data are needed. The blinded data will not be reviewed by study personnel for management decisions until the end of the first 6 months of the study.
- Following the 26-week visit:
- Subjects in the RT-CGM Group will continue to use the RT-CGM.
- Subjects in the Control Group will be provided with a RT-CGM and sensors after the week of blinded use and will have visits after 1 week and 4 weeks, with a phone contact during the first and third weeks.
- Both groups will have visits after 13 weeks and 26 weeks (study time 9 and 12 months).

Quality of Life
Hypoglycemia Fear Survey Total Score Average score of all items giving equal weight to each item. Scale 0-100 with higher score denoting more fear or more likely to avoid low blood glucose.
Measured: 26 weeks
Cost-effectiveness of CGM.
Estimated total costs divided by estimated Quality-Adjusted Life Weeks (QALW) calculated per group
Measured: 26 weeks
QALW
Quality Adjusted Life Weeks: We collected experienced utility data by eliciting time tradeoff (TTO) utilities for overall experience. Patients were asked to consider their current state of health in comparison to life in perfect health. Experienced utilities were elicited at baseline, 13 weeks, and 26 weeks. For children aged <18 years, parents served as surrogates. The total quality-adjusted life weeks (QALWs) were calculated as the area under the quality-of-life time trends under each arm.
Measured: 26 weeks
Total Costs: Direct and Indirect Costs
Investigators reported time spent with patients on CGM training and diabetes management excluding research time. Adult patients (or caregivers of children) self-reported health service utilization including routine office visits, after-hours clinic visits, emergency room visits, 911 calls, and hospitalizations. The daily cost of CGM technology was calculated based on FDA recommended frequency of sensor replacement and the expected frequency of receiver and transmitter replacement. The costs of the three devices used during the trial were averaged to arrive at a daily cost of CGM of $13.85. This daily cost was multiplied by the reported weekly use of CGM to arrive at an overall cost of CGM technology. Indirect costs: self-reported number of hours devoted to diabetes care per day, number of days missed from work or school due to diabetes, and number of days of work underperformance. Unit costs available at: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/dc09-2042/DC1 (Table 1).
Measured: 26 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Subjects with intensively-treated type 1 diabetes and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 7.0%-10.0% in 3 age groups (>25, 15-24, 8-14) will be randomized to a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) group or control group. The primary outcome is change in HbA1c after 26 weeks. A parallel randomized trial is being conducted for a second cohort with HbA1c <7.0% that will follow an identical protocol to that of the first cohort with HbA1c >=7.0%.
The >=7.0% trial was specifically designed and statistically powered to compare separately the impact of continuous versus standard intensive glucose monitoring in the three age groups. Both trials used standardized treatment algorithms and equivalent frequent contacts with subjects in both the CGM and control group.
After completion of the 26-week trial, the CGM group continues to use CGM for another 26 weeks to evaluate whether any beneficial effect seen in the first 6 months is sustained with longer-term use and less intensive contact and the control group initiates CGM use with less intensive contact after the first month than was provided at initiation of CGM use in the CGM group in the randomized trial.
Detailed description
- On the day of enrollment, a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level will be obtained, psychosocial questionnaires will be completed, and instructions will be given for use of the real time continuous glucose monitoring device (RT-CGM). The study personnel will supervise the subject or parent inserting the RT-CGM sensor in the clinic and will instruct the subject or parent to insert a second sensor at home as needed. To obtain a baseline assessment of glycemic control and variability, the RT-CGM used during the first week will be blinded so subjects will not be able to view the data from the sensor. The subject will be instructed to complete at least four glucose measurements a day using the study home glucose meter (HGM) and as needed to calibrate the RT-CGM.
- The subject will return for a second visit about 10 days after the enrollment visit.
- Subjects who have been compliant with use of the RT-CGM and HGM will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: RT-CGM Group or Control Group.
- Compliance will be defined as use of the RT-CGM for at least 6 out of the 7 days prior to the second visit, at least 96 hours of RT-CGM glucose values obtained with at least 24 hours between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and use of the HGM for testing at least 3 times each day prior to the second visit.
- Subjects who are not compliant will be given another opportunity to complete the baseline requirements at the discretion of the investigator.
- For the RT-CGM Group, the RT-CGM, HGM, and pump data (if subject uses an insulin pump) will be reviewed and changes will be made to diabetes management as needed. Subjects/parents will be taught to use the protocol-developed instructions for changes to diabetes management to be used in real time based on RT-CGM and HGM data. Instructions for downloading the RT-CGM and HGM will be provided to subjects with a home computer.
- For the Control Group, a HGM and test strips will be provided. The HGM and pump data (if subject uses an insulin pump) will be reviewed and changes made in diabetes management as needed. The blinded RT-CGM data will be downloaded but will not be reviewed by study personnel until the end of the first 6 months of the study. Subjects and parents will be taught to use the protocol-developed instructions for how to make changes to diabetes management based on HGM data.
- Both groups will have follow-up visits at 1, 4, 8, 13, 19, and 26 weeks (+/- 1 week) plus one phone contact between each visit (including one phone contact between the second visit and the one week visit) to review their diabetes management.
- Both groups will download device data on a weekly basis (if the subject has a computer). Subjects with email access will be instructed to email the downloaded data to the clinical center prior to each phone contact.
- For both groups, at each visit, the HGM and pump (if subject uses an insulin pump) will be downloaded and for the RT-CGM Group, the RT-CGM will be downloaded.
- In the 13th and 26th weeks, the Control Group will use a blinded RT-CGM for one week. The RT-CGM Group will continue to use the unblinded RT-CGM. The Control Group will return the blinded RT-CGM to the clinic after a week. The data will be reviewed by personnel who are not involved in the care of the subject to determine if additional blinded sensor data are needed. The blinded data will not be reviewed by study personnel for management decisions until the end of the first 6 months of the study.
- Following the 26-week visit:
- Subjects in the RT-CGM Group will continue to use the RT-CGM.
- Subjects in the Control Group will be provided with a RT-CGM and sensors after the week of blinded use and will have visits after 1 week and 4 weeks, with a phone contact during the first and third weeks.
- Both groups will have visits after 13 weeks and 26 weeks (study time 9 and 12 months).

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 sites in United States. 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 phase mean?
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Sep 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Change in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) From Baseline to 26 Weeks in the Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and Control Groups (for the Cohort With Baseline HbA1c >=7.0% Cohort) (time frame: Baseline and 26 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00406133, which also lists 11 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 14 Apr 2017.
