Show all 9Show fewer
  • Have a history of cardiovascular disease (including, but not limited to ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, cardiomyopathy, cerebrovascular disease, congenital heart disease, or significant arrhythmias), epilepsy, severe migraines in the past 6 months, adrenal disease, syncope, significant hypoglycemia unawareness, or a history of severe hypoglycemia (requiring emergency medical intervention) within the last 6 months;
  • Have any chronic infectious disease or intercurrent illness that would interfere with their participation in the study or pose an excessive risk to study staff handling venous or capillary blood samples (e.g. HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B or C);
  • Have a MRI scan, CT scan, or diathermy scheduled during the week of the study. If any of these procedures are required urgently during the study, subjects will notify the study staff, end their CGM session, and remove their sensor.

About this study

Official title: PTL-900590 Effectiveness and Safety Study of the Dexcom G4™ Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Dexcom G4 System when used as an adjuvant to blood glucose testing over a 7-day period in people >18 years-old with diabetes mellitus.

The primary objective is to characterize the System performance with respect to laboratory reference venous sample measurements. The device performance will be primarily evaluated in terms of point and rate accuracy of the G4 System in reference to YSI.

Safety of the G4 System will be characterized by Adverse Device Effects and Serious Adverse Device Effects experienced by study participants.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to characterize the System performance with respect to laboratory reference venous sample measurements. The device performance will be primarily evaluated in terms of point and rate accuracy of the G4 System in reference to YSI. The trend accuracy of the device performance, i.e., continuous glucose error grid analysis, will be evaluated as well as the temporal G4 System accuracy at different glucose rates of changes and different glucose ranges (hypoglycemic, euglycemic, and hyperglycemic ranges). The primary matched paired (Sensor-YSI) measurements will be collected during multiple in-clinic days.

What is being measured

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

  1. CGM Relative Differences to Laboratory Reference

    The outcome measure is measured as the relative differences (%) of the CGM glucose value in reference to a laboratory reference, yellow spring instrument( YSI) glucose measurements.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Glucose Monitoring of glucose levels (Dexcom) in people with Diabetes, run by DexCom, Inc. at 4 sites 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 9 inclusion and 9 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 5 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 5 Oct 2015). 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?

CGM Relative Differences to Laboratory Reference (time frame: 7 days). 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 Oct 2015.
