About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-centre, Randomised, Two-period Crossover Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of 24-hour Closed-loop Glucose Control in Comparison With Conventional Treatment in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes on Non-insulin Glucose-lowering Agents

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 24 hours of closed-loop glucose control compared with standard diabetes treatment, in patients with type 2 diabetes treated by non-insulin glucose-lowering medications. This group is being studied as it is representative of patients with glucose dysregulation.

Read the detailed description

Algorithm driven closed-loop enables automated subcutaneous delivery of insulin in response to real-time continuous glucose sensor readings. Our studies to date have assessed the safety and efficacy of closed-loop insulin delivery in patients with type 1 diabetes in a controlled setting. For patients with type 2 diabetes treated by diet or non-insulin glucose-lowering medications alone, an episode of acute illness may result in elevated glucose levels necessitating initiation of insulin replacement therapy to optimise glycaemic control. Insulin may also be required in patients with no prior history of diabetes, presenting with 'stress hyperglycaemia'. Closed-loop systems may be of benefit in such insulin-naive patients in whom the optimal dosing regimen is difficult to establish, and may provide a safer method of insulin delivery with the added benefit of continuous monitoring of glucose levels on general hospital wards, thus minimising the likelihood of hyper- and hypoglycaemic events and their known associated worse outcomes.

The study has an open-label, randomised, two-period crossover design. Participants will be randomised to undergo two 24-hour studies in a clinical research facility, during which glucose levels will be controlled by either the computer-based closed-loop algorithm (intervention) or by patients' usual non-insulin glucose-lowering diabetes treatment regimen (control). A continuous glucose sensor will be inserted on arrival for each visit. Participants will consume regular meals (matched on both visits) and carry out daily activities mimicking those occurring in an inpatient setting. Stable glucose isotopes will be administered on the two study occasions to collect data for modeling of glucose turnover around meals and during the overnight period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing closed-loop insulin delivery and Usual diabetes treatment regimen in people with Dysglycaemia, run by University of Cambridge at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 7 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 Nov 2012. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Percent of plasma glucose values within target range 3.9-8.0 mmol/l (time frame: 24 hrs). 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 12 Nov 2012.
