About this study

The purpose of the study is to compare the glycemic control during and following aerobic exercise using either an open or closed-loop insulin delivery system.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single-center, randomized crossover study evaluating the performance of a closed-loop insulin delivery system using a subcutaneous glucose sensor and an external insulin pump and comparing it to an open-loop delivery system during aerobic exercise. Subject participation will be for a maximum of 16 weeks including an outpatient study (up to 6 days) and two inpatient studies (one closed-loop; the other open-loop). The closed- and open-loop visit consists of approximately 67 hours over 4 days and 3 nights.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma Glucose (PG) Response to Exercise

    PG at start of exercise minus the subsequent PG nadir

    Measured: Begins at start of exercise, at or after 15:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at start of the subsequent meal. Median period: 121 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 93 to 133 min.

  2. Incidence of Hypoglycemia Immediately Following Exercise

    Tally of episodes where either plasma glucose (PG) < 60 mg/dL, or supplemental glucose was administered to prevent imminent PG < 60 mg/dL. Maximum tally of hypoglycemic events within any 30 minute period is 1.

    Measured: Begins at end of exercise, at or after 16:15 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at 22:00 of same day. Median period: 333 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 28 min, range: 262 to 344 min.

  3. Incidence of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia Following Exercise

    Tally of episodes where either plasma glucose (PG) < 60 mg/dL, or supplemental glucose was administered to prevent imminent PG < 60 mg/dL. Maximum tally of hypoglycemic events within any 30 minute period is 1.

    Measured: Begins at 22:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at 6:00 of the subsequent day. Period was 480 minutes (min) for all subjects, both study phases.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Peak Post-prandial Plasma Glucose (PG)

    For each subject and study phase, the six peak PG following each of the six meals were determined. The median of these six peaks became the one peak post-prandial PG value representing each subject and study phase.

    Measured: Union of 6 meal periods (3 per day on study days 2 & 3). A meal period runs from meal start to start of next meal, or 22:00 for 3rd meal of the day. Union of 6 periods median: 1666 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 1638 to 1680 min.

  2. Nadir Plasma Glucose (PG) Immediately Following Exercise

    The PG nadir observed following the start of exercise

    Measured: Begins at start of exercise, at or after 15:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at start of the subsequent meal. Median period: 121 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 93 to 133 min.

  3. Overnight Nadir Plasma Glucose (PG)

    For each subject and study phase, the overnight nadir PG for each of two nights were determined. The mean of these two nadirs became the one nadir overnight PG value representing each subject and study phase.

    Measured: Union of the two 8-hour overnight periods beginning at 22:00 on in-patient visit days 2 & 3, ending at 6:00 on the subsequent day. The union of the two periods was 960 minutes (min) for all subjects, both study phases.

  4. Percentage of Time Plasma Glucose (PG) is Within the Euglycemic Range.

    For each subject and arm, the percentage of the PG curve such that 70 <= PG curve <= 180 mg/dL. Linear interpolations furnished the data between the actual sampled PG to address potential sample influence bias arising from non-uniform sampling intervals.

    Measured: Begins at 6:00 of in-patient visit day 2 and ends at 6:00 of day 4; 48 hours total.

  5. Percentage of Time Plasma Glucose (PG) is Above the Euglycemic Range.

    For each subject and study phase, the percentage of the PG curve > 180 mg/dL. Linear interpolations furnished the data between the actual sampled PG to address potential sample influence bias arising from non-uniform sampling intervals.

    Measured: Begins at 6:00 of in-patient visit day 2 and ends at 6:00 of day 4; 48 hours total.

  6. Percentage of Time Plasma Glucose (PG) is Below the Euglycemic Range.

    For each subject and study phase, the percentage of the PG curve < 70 mg/dL. Linear interpolations furnished the data between the actual sampled PG to address potential sample influence bias arising from non-uniform sampling intervals.

    Measured: Begins at 6:00 of in-patient visit day 2 and ends at 6:00 of day 4; 48 hours total.

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 12 inclusion and 31 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 12 Dec 2017. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Oct 2012). 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?

Plasma Glucose (PG) Response to Exercise (time frame: Begins at start of exercise, at or after 15:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at start of the subsequent meal. Median period: 121 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 93 to 133 min.). The study lists 3 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 NCT00831389, 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.
