Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This clinical study population will consist of a minimum of 100, and up to 120 subjects with insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus on Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) or Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) therapy; equal number of subjects will be enrolled among each therapy group. It is desirable to have a similar distribution of baseline A1C in each study group.

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 to 70 years;
  • Have been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at least 3 years;
  • Have been treated on multiple daily injections (MDI) or Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) insulin therapy for at last 6 months;
  • Willing not to switch method of insulin delivery (i.e., MDI to CSII, or CSII to MDI) while enrolled in this study;
  • Baseline A1C within 6.5% to 10.0% (may be determined by POC measurement, e.g., DCA 2000 to assess this inclusion criterion);
  • Patients on MDI should be on a stable dose of peak-less insulin (e.g., Lantus) once or twice a day along with any rapid acting prandial insulin analog (e.g., Humalog, Novolog, or Apidra);
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Willing not to inject insulin or wear an insulin pump insertion set within 3 inches from the Sensor site during Sensor wear;
  • Willing to use only the blood glucose meter(s) provided to them for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) during Sensor wear;
  • Willing to take a minimum of 4 fingersticks per day during home use (2 for calibration purposes, 2 for comparative purposes);
  • Willing to refrain from the use of acetaminophen during the Sensor insertion period and for at least 24-hours prior to Sensor insertion;
  • Willing not to schedule a magnetic resonance (MRI) scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, or x-ray, for the duration of the study;
  • Able to speak, read, and write English.

Who cannot join

  • 1. Have extensive skin changes/diseases that preclude wearing the Sensor on normal skin (e.g. extensive psoriasis, recent burns or severe sunburn, extensive eczema, extensive scarring, extensive tattoos, dermatitis herpetiformis) at the proposed wear sites; 2. Subjects who have a known allergy to medical-grade adhesives; 3. Are pregnant as demonstrated by a positive pregnancy test within 72 hours of insertion or are planning to become pregnant during the course of study; 4. Have a hematocrit that is less than 30%, or greater than 55%; 5. Current participation in another investigational study protocol (if a subject has recently completed participation in another drug study, the subject must have completed that study at least 30 days prior to being enrolled in this study); 6. Have used CGM for 6 or more weeks (combined) during the 3 months prior to enrollment; 7. Have any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with their participation in the trial or pose an excessive risk to study staff handling venous blood samples (e.g., known history of hepatitis B or C).

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (DexCom™ SEVEN PLUS®) and to evaluate the impact of CGM on glycemic control when worn for up to 6-months by subjects 18 to 70 years-old with Type 1 diabetes mellitus on MDI or CSII therapy.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate no statistically significant differences between MDI and CSII subjects in terms of A1C change at 6 months as compared to baseline. A secondary objective is to evaluate time spent outside of the euglycemic region (70 to 180 mg/dL) from the baseline (blinded month) to the conclusion of 6 month follow-up.

Safety data of the SEVEN PLUS System will also be collected and safety will be characterized by the incidence of Adverse Device Effects, Serious Adverse Device Events, and Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects experienced by study participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by DexCom, Inc. 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 12 inclusion and 1 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 15 Apr 2010. 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?

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01104142, 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 15 Apr 2010.
