About this study

Official title: Subcutaneous Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Intravenous Dosing of Insulin and Dextrose for Automated Glycemic Control in the Inpatient Setting

The purpose of this study is to test an experimental medical device designed to automatically control blood sugar. This device was designed for use by patients with diabetes while they are in the hospital, and others who may develop high blood sugar as a result of their medical problems.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this first-in-man trial is to test the safety and efficacy of the automated, closed-loop control system in insulin sensitive subjects with type 1 diabetes, insulin sensitive subjects with type 2 diabetes (TTD > 1u/kg/day), and subjects with type 2 diabetes and substantial insulin resistance (<2 u/kg/day). The results of this study will help to design future studies, exploring the use of the closed-loop system for BG control in hospitalized patients, including those with diabetes or hyperglycemia of critical illness.

What participants receive

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

  • Closed-loop blood glucose controlDevice

    Also called InPatient Closed-Loop Blood Glucose Control Device.

    The InPatient Closed Loop Device is made up of the three components; the Abbott FreeStyle Navigator subcutaneous continuous glucose monitor, the Symbiq insulin-dextrose infusion system, and the control algorithm. In this feasibility trial we will study 6 insulin-sensitive subjects with type 1 diabetes and 6 subjects with type 2 diabetes and a high insulin requirement (3 with total daily dose from 1-1.9 u/kg and 3 with total daily dose > 2 u/kg).

What is being measured

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

  1. Average Blood Glucose Over the Closed-loop Control Period, as Determined From GlucoScout Measurements.

    Measured: 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of Carbohydrate Interventions (15 g) Delivered According to Study Protocol

    Measured: 12 hours

  2. Number of BG Events < 70 mg/dl and Nadir BG for Each as Determined Form GlucoScout Measurements

    Measured: 12 hours

  3. Fraction of Time Spent Within Each of the Following Glucose Ranges as Determined From GlucoScout Measurements: - < 70 mg/dl - 70-120 mg/dl - 70-180 mg/dl - >180 mg/dl

    Measured: 12 hours

  4. Average Blood Glucose Over the Closed-loop Control Period as Determined From the CGM Driving the Control Algorithm

    Measured: 12 hours

  5. Number of BG Events < 70 mg/dl as Determined by the CGM

    Measured: 12 hours

  6. Fraction of Time Spent Within Each of the Following Glucose Ranges as Determined From the CGM Driving the Control Algorithm: o < 70 mg/dl o 70-120 mg/dl o 70-180 mg/dl o >180 mg/dl

    Measured: 12 hours

  7. Insulin Dosing (u/kg)

    Measured: 12 hours

  8. Dextrose Dosing (g/kg)

    Measured: 12 hours

  9. Accuracy of the CGM Device Using the GlucoScout Measurements as the Standard.

    The Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) between CGM and Glucoscout

    Measured: 12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Diabetes Mellitus and Hyperglycemia, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 Dec 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jul 2017). 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?

Average Blood Glucose Over the Closed-loop Control Period, as Determined From GlucoScout Measurements. (time frame: 12 hours). 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 Dec 2017.
