About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study Using Zone-MPC Controller (Zone-Model Predictive Control) and Health Monitoring System (HMS) and Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation System From MannnKind Corp.

This clinical trial is a feasibility study to assess the performance of an Artificial Pancreas (AP) device using the Artificial Pancreas System (APS©) platform for subjects with type 1 diabetes using rapid-acting insulin as well as preprandial inhaled insulin (Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation System by MannKind Corporation). The goal of this proposed study is to explore the feasibility of using multiple insulin delivery routes in order to mimic the physiology of both first- and second-phase insulin secretion. The intent is to exploit the rapid action achieved by inhaled insulin to compensate for part of the meals and utilize the conventional subcutaneous route for management of basal insulin and as second-phase meal-related insulin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Test the Safety of the AP Device While the Subject is Under Close Medical Supervision in the Clinical Research Center (CRC) Setting.

    This objective will be assessed by subjecting the AP device (combined with the Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder) and the subject to several challenging situations, such as meals, exercise, and nocturnal period. The study will evaluate the percent of time the glucose level of the subject remains within Target range 5 hours after meal: [70-180] mg/dL.

    Measured: 5 hours

  2. Test the Safety of the AP Device While the Subject is Under Close Medical Supervision in the Clinical Research Center (CRC) Setting.

    This objective will be assessed by subjecting the AP device (combined with the Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder) and the subject to several challenging situations, such as meals, exercise, and nocturnal period. The study will evaluate the percent of time the glucose level of the subject remains within Target range for the entire study: [80-140] mg/dL

    Measured: 25-28 hours

  3. Test the Safety of the AP Device While the Subject is Under Close Medical Supervision in the Clinical Research Center (CRC) Setting

    This objective will be assessed by subjecting the AP device (combined with the Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder) and the subject to several challenging situations, such as meals, exercise, and nocturnal period. The study will evaluate the percent of time the glucose level of the subject remains within Target range during exercise: [70-150] mg/dL

    Measured: 30 minutes

  4. Test the Safety of the AP Device While the Subject is Under Close Medical Supervision in the Clinical Research Center (CRC) Setting

    This objective will be assessed by subjecting the AP device (combined with the Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder) and the subject to several challenging situations, such as meals, exercise, and nocturnal period. The study will evaluate the percent of time the glucose level of the subject remains within Target range 3 hours after exercise: [70-150] mg/dL

    Measured: 3 hours

  5. Test the Safety of the AP Device While the Subject is Under Close Medical Supervision in the Clinical Research Center (CRC) Setting.

    This objective will be assessed by subjecting the AP device (combined with the Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder) and the subject to several challenging situations, such as meals, exercise, and nocturnal period. The study will evaluate the percent of time the glucose level of the subject remains within Overnight target range: [70-180] mg/dL

    Measured: 7 hours overnight

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Test the Benefits of the AP Device Combined With the Technosphere® Insulin Powder System

    To evaluate the performance of the AP device combined with the Technosphere® Insulin Powder System after dinner by measuring the postprandial excursion of blood glucose.

    Measured: 150 minutes

  2. Test the Benefits of the AP Device Combined With the Technosphere® Insulin Powder System

    To evaluate the performance of the AP device combined with the Technosphere® Insulin Powder System after breakfast by measuring the postprandial excursion of blood glucose

    Measured: 120 minutes
