About this study

An open interventional data collection study in order to build a database to close the loop between glucose sensor and insulin pump.

background: The ultimate goal in diabetes treatment is to develop an autonomous insulin delivery system (artificial pancreas) capable of continuous glucose sensing, thereby mimicking the physiologic function of the islet beta cells and freeing the patient from the need for constant calculations of daily insulin and carbohydrates. Several prototypes of closed-loop system have been developed in recent years, based on different types of control algorithms, to establish the connection between the sensor and the insulin pump. Current research in the formulation of this type of subcutaneous closed-loop system still faces major challenges, therefore, there is a need for further study and evaluation.

Objectives:

  1. To evaluate the lag time of the effect of subcutaneous insulin infusion on blood glucose levels by using continuous glucose sensor
  2. To measure the insulin sensitivity as expressed by changes in blood glucose levels after s.c insulin infusion .
  3. To evaluate real time sensor calibration algorithms based on the measured lag times
  4. Collecting clinical data in order to develop and evaluate mathematical models which will serve a base to simulators.
  5. Developing and accessing advanced learning and control algorithms as a step towards developing an artificial pancreas

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing continuous glucose sensors and insulin pump in people with Diabetes, Type I, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 4 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 8 Apr 2016. 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 Israel. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Blood glucose levels (time frame: countinuasly). 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 NCT00541515, which also lists 2 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 8 Apr 2016.
