About this study

Official title: Gerber Pump Trial: Effectiveness of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) and Real-Time Sensor Augmentation (RTSA) in 0-3 Years Old Diabetes Patients; A One Year Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

The purpose of this study is to see if the use of a real-time glucose sensor improves diabetes control in young children (less than 4 years old) with Type I diabetes when they are initiated on insulin pump therapy.

Read the detailed description

A randomized controlled clinical trial involving patients 0-3 yrs old with type 1 diabetes. After successful screening the subjects will be randomized into one of two groups: a CSII group alone and a CSII group + Real Time Sensor Augmentation group (RTSA) group. The CSII group will serve as the control for the CSII+RTSA group. The trial will last for one year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Real-time glucose sensor in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type I, run by Seattle Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2011. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patricia Fechner, M.D. (206-987-5037, patricia.fechner@seattlechildrens.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduce blood glucose variability among 0-3 year old children with type I diabetes. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Aug 2011.
