About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Feasibility of Fully Automated Closed Loop Insulin Pump Therapy After Islet Auto-Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of closed loop insulin pump therapy to control blood sugar following total pancreatectomy and islet auto-transplantation (TPIAT).

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES AND HYPOTHESES The main objective of this study is to determine if a closed loop insulin system can successfully achieve tighter blood sugar control than the current multiple daily injection regimen. The investigators hypothesize that the average blood glucose will be lower in the closed loop group than the control group, there will be less glucose variability in the closed loop group than the control group, and there will be less total time spent in hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in the closed loop group than in the control group. The investigators also will investigate insulin requirements and islet function in the first 6 months post-transplant in the closed loop group The investigators hypothesize that the insulin requirements will be lower and the C-peptide levels higher in the closed loop group than in the control group.

What participants receive

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

  • Closed Loop InsulinDevice

    Also called Medtronic ePID 2.0 system, Medtronic Paradigm REAL-Time Insulin Pump (MMT-722), Enlite Glucose Sensor (MMT-7008X), MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter (MMT-7703XNA)

    The Closed Loop Insulin system is an automated insulin delivery system based on body blood glucose. It consists of an Insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor, and a control device (laptop with algorithms).

Study groups in NCT01945138
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlNo interventionControl Group: patients receive conventional multiple daily injection insulin therapy with basal and bolus dosing during the 72 hour study period.
Closed Loop InsulinExperimentalClosed Loop Insulin Group: patients receive continuous subcutaneous insulin controlled by experimental closed loop system during the 72 hour study period.
Receives: Device: Closed Loop Insulin

What is being measured

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

  1. Study Period: Average Serum BG

    Mean blood glucose value: a single report of the average of the analytical blood glucose values will be computed and compared between the pump and control groups.

    Measured: 3 days of investigation period

  2. Study Period: Serum BG Standard Deviation

    Measure of glycemic variability. This is the standard deviation in all serum BG values for each individual patient.

    Measured: 3 days of investigation period

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Study Period: Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) BG Average

    Continuous glucose monitoring sensor data: The CGM's in the pump and control groups will collect glucose readings continuously over a 72 hour period

    Measured: continuously over the 72 hour investigational period

  2. Study Period: Continuous Glucose Monitor Standard Deviation of BG

    measure of glycemic variability by CGM. This is the standard deviation within each patient for all CGM glucose readings.

    Measured: continuous over the 72 hour investigation period

  3. Study Period: Percent Time BG in Range 70-140 mg/dL

    Additional measure of glycemic variability, as reflected by CGM measures, % time in the range of 70-140 on CGM

    Measured: continuous over the 72 hour investigation period

  4. Study Period: CGM Area Under the Curve (AUC) With Glucose < 70 mg/dL

    Calculated as the area under the curve on the CGM tracing that the glucose is under 70 mg/dL.

    Measured: continuous over the 72 hour investigation period

  5. Study Period: % of Time CGM BG <70 mg/dL

    Measured: continuous over the 72 hour investigation period

  6. Study Period: CGM AUC With Glucose> 140 mg/dL

    Measured: continuous over the 72 hour investigation period

  7. Study Period: % of Time CGM BG > 140 mg/dL

    Measured: continuous over the 72 hour investigation period

  8. Study Period: Morning C-peptide

    A single C-peptide measurement collected daily x 3 days, collected at random (meaning not in a fasting state) each morning. Expressed as average for each patient.

    Measured: Average of 3 day study period

  9. Study Period: Daily Insulin Needs

    Calculated as total daily dose of insulin.

    Measured: Average of 3 day study period

  10. Day 14 Follow-Up: Average Serum BG

    Measured: Day 14 Follow-Up

  11. Day 14 Follow-Up: C-Peptide

    Measured: Day 14 Follow-Up:

  12. Day 28 Follow-Up: Average Serum BG

    Measured: Day 28 Follow-Up

  13. Day 28 Follow-Up: C-Peptide

    Measured: Day 28 Follow-Up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Closed Loop Insulin in people with Chronic Pancreatitis and Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Minnesota 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 31 Jul 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 13 Jan 2016). 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?

Study Period: Average Serum BG (time frame: 3 days of investigation period). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01945138, 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?
