About this study

Official title: Are the Continous Glucose Monitoring Systems Able to Improve Long Term Glycaemic Control in Type 1 Diabetic Patients With Poor Metabolic Control?

The "Capteur Evadiac" study group, composed of French and Belgian diabetologists, has designed a 1 year randomized controlled multicenter study in order to define what should be the best clinical way of using continuous glucose monitoring in the long term to improve metabolic control in uncontrolled type 1 diabetes patients.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether patients with chronically poor glycaemic control as evidenced by HbA1c >= 8% twice can achieve improved metabolic control using during one year CGM together with educative program about insulin adaptation doses compared to conventional self monitoring finger sticks with educative program about insulin adaptation doses alone.

What participants receive

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

  • Navigator®Device

    Patients will be encouraged to use the Navigator® all the time and to modify their treatment according to the device measurments. Patients will also follow and educational process in order to adapt insulin doses according to each sensor data

  • Navigator®Device

    Patients will follow the same educational process as group1 concerning insulin doses adaptation.The duration of the use of the devicewill be determined at the consultation every each 3 months.

  • PlaceboDevice

    Patients will have their usual follow up with self-monitoring blood glucose

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group1-patientActive comparatorThe patient will be encouraged to use the Navigator® all the time and to modify his treatment according to the continous blood glucose measurements. The patients will follow an educational process in order to adapt insulin doses according to each sensor data.
Receives: Device: Navigator®
Group2-diabetologistActive comparatorThe patient will follow the same educational process as group 1 concerning insulin dose adaptation. They will use the continous glucose monitoring device according to the diabetologist's prescription and they will receive precise instructions to make considering results. The duration of the use of the Navigator® will be increased if one of the following criteria is observed at the consultation each 3 months: * HbA1c>=7.5% * 1 severe hypoglycaemia or more * More than 4 benign hypoglycaemia per week According to these criteria, every 3 months, the duration of the use of the monitoring system will be increased as following: * step 1: 3 sensors per month * step 2: 4 sensors per month * step 3: 5 sensors per month * step 4: continuous use
Receives: Device: Navigator®

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of HbA1c mean between the 3 groups

    Measured: at 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Comparison of glucose stability in the 3 groups

    Measured: inclusion, M3, M6, M9, M12

  2. Frequency of severe hypoglycaemic episodes and ketoacidosis episodes during the study period

    Measured: study period

  3. Frequency of symptomatic benign hypoglycaemic episodes during the week prior to each visit. inclusion and prior to M3, M6, M9, M12

    Measured: prior to inclusion and prior to M3, M6, M9, M12

  4. Comparison of HbA1c in patients treated by pump to those treated by multiple daily injection

    Measured: inclusion, M3, M6, M9, M12

  5. Evaluation of the Quality of Life (DQOL and SF36) and patient's satisfaction in the 3 groups

    Measured: inclusion and M12

  6. Comparison of weight, insulin doses, in each group

    Measured: study period

  7. comparison of the sensors consumption in group 1 and 2 and the evolution in time of this consumption

    Measured: study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Navigator® in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Centre d'Etudes et de Recherche pour l'Intensification du Traitement du Diabète at 19 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 9 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in France, Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Comparison of HbA1c mean between the 3 groups (time frame: at 1 year). 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 NCT00726440, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Feb 2012.
