About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized Two-way, Cross-over Study to Compare Meal-and-carbohydrate-announcement Strategy Versus Meal-announcement Strategy During Closed-loop Regulation of Glucose Levels in a Morning Meal in Adults With Type-1 Diabetes.

Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosage based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon.

The main goal of this project is to assess whether a dual-hormone closed-loop strategy would alleviate the burden of carbohydrate counting from patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) without a significant degradation in post-meal glucose control.

Each patient will be admitted twice to a clinical research facility. In one visit, patients will eat a morning meal accompanied with a matching insulin bolus (depending on the carbohydrate content of the meal) and glucose levels will be subsequently regulated using dual-hormone closed-loop system. In the other visit, patients will eat the same meal but will inject only a partial insulin bolus (not depending on carbohydrate content of the meal) and the remaining needed insulin will be delivered based on glucose sensor excursions as part of closed-loop operation. If post-meal glucose levels were indifferent between the two visits, then this would suggest that carbohydrate counting may not be necessary during closed-loop operation as the closed-loop system will give any remaining insulin needed to cover the glucose absorbed from the meal. Twelve subjects will be enrolled in this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dual Hormone closed-loop systemDevice

    The closed-loop system is composed of three components: continuous glucose system, insulin infusion pumps that infuses insulin and glucagon and a control algorithm that decides on the infusion rates based on sensor readings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incremental area under the curve of plasma glucose concentration as compared to pre-meal glucose value of the postprandial glucose excursions

    Measured: 0-300min

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of postprandial time of plasma glucose concentrations spent in the high range (above 10.0 mmol/l).

    Measured: 0-300 min

  2. Mean plasma glucose concentration.

  3. Total insulin delivery

  4. Total glucagon delivery

  5. Plasma glucose concentration and incremental plasma glucose concentration at 2 hours postmeal

  6. Postprandial peak and incremental postprandial peak of plasma glucose concentration

  7. Percentage of time of plasma glucose concentrations spent in target range. Target range is defined to be between 4.0 and 10.0 mmol/l for 150 minutes postmeal and between 4.0 and 8.0 mmol/l afterwards

  8. Percentage of postprandial time of plasma glucose concentrations spent in the low range (below 4.0mmol/l)

    Measured: 0-300min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dual Hormone closed-loop system in people with Type-1 Diabetes, run by Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal at 1 site in Canada.

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 10 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 10 Dec 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 Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Incremental area under the curve of plasma glucose concentration as compared to pre-meal glucose value of the postprandial glucose excursions (time frame: 0-300min). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01519102, 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 10 Dec 2012.
