About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study Assessing the Ability of an Insulin Pump-controlling Algorithm to Minimize Hypoglycemia in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes in a Clinical Research Setting

This study will be conducted in a Clinical Research Center (CRC) setting and recruiting type 1 diabetes that are currently using an insulin pump.

Read the detailed description

This study is a non-randomized, uncontrolled feasibility study that looks to enroll people with type 1 diabetes who are currently using an insulin pump. During the subject's participation, the study staff will closely monitor the study subject in a clinical research center environment for approximately 30 hours, while controller algorithm determined insulin doses are delivered by an insulin pump, and utilizing continuous glucose monitoring results.

    Also called type 1 diabetes

    This study is a non-randomized feasibility study enrolling type 1 diabetics who are currently using an insulin pump. Participating Investigators will closely monitor the study subject in a clinical research center environment for approximately 30 hours, while controller algorithm determined insulin doses are delivered by an insulin pump, and utilizing continuous glucose monitoring results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the performance of the System while the subject is under close medical supervision in the Clinical Research Center (CRC) setting

    Evaluating the ability of the system to predict a fall or rise in glucose values below or above a low glucose threshold, and take the corresponding appropriate action of reducing or suspending insulin delivery in order to keep the subject's glucose above this threshold, or resuming insulin delivery at the current basal rate upon the increase of glucose above this threshold.

    Ability of the system to issue timely and accurate warnings.

    Measured: 1 week after subject is enrolled in the study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Capturing the number of Adverse Events as a measure of assessing subject safety

    Understand the System's ability to safely keep the subject glucose levels within designated threshold. The subject and the device will be continuously monitored by the Principle Investigator and Algorithm Engineer to ensure proper function of the device and subject safety. All Adverse Events will be captured on the CRF.

    Measured: 1 week after subject is enrolled in the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Predictive Low Glucose Minimizer in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Animas Corporation 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 19 Sep 2013. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Evaluate the performance of the System while the subject is under close medical supervision in the Clinical Research Center (CRC) setting (time frame: 1 week after subject is enrolled in the study). 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 NCT01919385, 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 19 Sep 2013.
