Trial summary

The aim of this study is to document the routine practice in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients treated with sensor-augmented pump therapy and to assess clinical outcome (HbA1c) before the start of the sensor use to the end of the follow-up period. Read more about this study

About this study

The aim of this study is to document the routine practice in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients treated with sensor-augmented pump therapy and to assess clinical outcome (HbA1c) before the start of the sensor use to the end of the follow-up period. Moreover, data on treatment satisfaction, and fear of hypoglycemia, cost of the therapy, side effects and treatment interruption will be collected.

Read the detailed description

The most advanced technologies for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) include insulin pumps for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and glucose sensors allowing continuous glucose monitoring(CGM). Randomized controlled trials have shown that access to CGM can improve control in poorly-controlled patients regardless of insulin treatment therapy via reduced hyper- and hypoglycaemic excursions and improved mean HbA1c value.

The Medtronic personal CGM device is composed of a glucose sensor linked to a MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter, which transmits data from the glucose sensor to the insulin pump. The integration of these two technologies (CSII and personal CGM) into one system is called sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAP).The devices are CE-marked and routinely used in clinical practice in the Swedish market.

Based on the clinical evidences provided, the Swedish Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV) concluded that the personal CGM when used in combination to a Medtronic insulin pump as SAP should be included in the Swedish reimbursement system. However the decision was upon specific patient indications:

Patients with two or more severe hypoglycemias/year that require help from another person or Patients with HbA1c of at least 9%, in cases where optimized insulin therapy has not been effective or Children taking at least 10 medically required plasma glucose tests (fingersticks) per 24 hours and that certain follow-up information has to be complemented and submitted to TLV before March 1st, 2012.

TLV requires follow-up information on T1 diabetes patients using SAP in Swedish clinical practice and based on the following outcome parameters:

HbA1c-level of the patients Quality of life with use of CGM Side effects and therapy interruptions. Use and costs of the therapy Frequency of hypoglycemia Therefore, this project will observe the routine practice of personal CGM utilization in combination to Medtronic insulin pumps in T1DM patients in Sweden in approximately 15 investigational centers.

The aim of this project is to reflect the daily practice in personal CGM therapy (sensor and MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter) usage in diabetes patients treated with Medtronic insulin pumps in Sweden. Data on the HbA1c value before and up to six months use of personal CGM will be collected and information on the outcomes requested by TLV will be included in the study. The patient reported outcomes will be supplemented with patient preference data and will be estimated with a willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach.

What is being measured

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

  1. Daily Usage of Blood Glucose Test (BG Testing)

    Daily usage of blood glucose test 0-24 months after CGM usage. This information is collected in a journal questionnaire

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Frequency of Sensor Usage Per Month

    Frequency of sensor usage per month during the study. This information is collected in a journal questionnaire

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes, run by Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. at 1 site in Sweden.

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 5 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 27 Feb 2019. 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 Sweden. 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 27 Feb 2019). 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?

Daily Usage of Blood Glucose Test (BG Testing) (time frame: 24 months). 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 27 Feb 2019.
