Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 10 to 35 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Inclusion Criteria: To be eligible for the study, a subject must meet the following criteria:

  1. Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes
  • The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is based on the investigator's judgment
  • C peptide levels and antibody determinations are not required
  1. Daily insulin therapy for ≥ 12 months
  2. Insulin pump therapy for ≥ 3 months
  3. Age 10.0 - 35.0 years
  4. Avoidance of acetaminophen-containing medications (i.e. Tylenol) while wearing the continuous glucose monitor.
  5. Willingness to wear a continuous glucose sensor and physiological monitor for the duration of the study
  6. Female subjects who are sexually active must be on acceptable method of contraception (e.g. oral contraceptive pill, diaphragm, IUD)

Exclusion Criteria: The presence of any of the following is an exclusion for the study:

  1. Diabetic ketoacidosis in the past month
  2. Hypoglycemic seizure or loss of consciousness in the past 3 months
  3. History of seizure disorder (except for hypoglycemic seizure)
  4. History of any heart disease including coronary artery disease, heart failure, or arrhythmias
  5. Cystic fibrosis
  6. Current use of oral glucocorticoids, beta-blockers or other medications, which in the judgment of the investigator would be a contraindication to participation in the study.
  7. History of ongoing renal disease (other than microalbuminuria).
  8. Subjects requiring intermediate or long-acting insulin (such as NPH, Detemir or Glargine).
  9. Subjects requiring other anti-diabetic medications other than insulin (oral or injectable).
  10. Pregnancy - verbal denial of pregnancy obtained with telephone informed consent, pregnancy test performed at camp before study devices are assigned.
  11. Sexually active females who do not practice acceptable contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy.
  12. Presence of a febrile illness within 24 hours of admission or acetaminophen use while wearing the CGM. The subject may be rescheduled for Research House/hotel admission if these criteria are not met. The camp study subject will not participate in the trial if these conditions are met.
  13. Medical or psychiatric condition that in the judgment of the investigator might interfere with the completion of the protocol such as:

About this study

The overall aim of this proposed research is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) controller in day and night closed-loop control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes over multiple days in a diabetes camp setting. This will be addressed in two parts: 1) An in residence, outpatient study to determine safety and feasibility of the DiAs during 72 continuous hours of day and night glucose control; and 2) Camp studies planned for the summer of 2014 with randomization to either full closed-loop or sensor-augmented pump therapy over the duration of 6-7 day diabetes camps.

Read the detailed description

This study is an early feasibility study that will test the efficacy of DiAs - a smart-phone-based system compared to sensor augmented therapy in an outpatient setting. Twelve study subjects with type 1 diabetes, six each at UVa and Stanford University, who have experience with insulin pump use at two clinical sites will be recruited. The first six subjects recruited will be aged 15-18 years and this will follow with recruitment of six subjects aged 10-14 years. This study is designed to mimic the protocol at camp and will include a period of light exercise after breakfast and moderate intensity physical activity after lunch, with group activities such as soccer and volleyball. The duration of the Outpatient in Residence Study will be 72 hours. The data will be reviewed by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) before proceeding to camp studies.

The camp study will recruit 48 subjects, with type 1 diabetes who have experience with insulin pump therapy. Initial studies will be conducted at a camp with older participants aged 15-35 years, with at least 5 of the campers between 15-18 years old. These studies will be reviewed by the DSMB and, if safe, we will recruit additional children aged 10-14 years of age. The duration of the Diabetes Camp Studies will be up to 7 days/6 nights.

What participants receive

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

  • Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) with USS VirginiaDevice

    Also called Closed-Loop system

    DiAs is the central component of our system. It is a standard cell phone running on an Android operating system. The cell phone has been changed to prevent from (1) using it as a phone or browser, (2) changing the volume (3) accidentally shutting it off. The cell phone runs an algorithm and is connected to work with the insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor to help keep the blood sugar in a desired range and help avoid hypoglycemia during the night.

  • Sensor Augmented Pump TherapyOther

    Also called SAP

    Subjects randomized to this placebo group will wear a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) to measure sensor glucose and a physiological monitor to measure heart rate and 3-axis accelerometer for 24-72 hours.

Sensor Augmented Pump TherapyPlacebo comparatorEach camp participant will be randomized to full day and night CLC or sensor augmented pump therapy for up to 7 days/6 nights. The subject will wear a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) to measure sensor glucose and a physiological monitor to measure heart rate and 3-axis accelerometer for 24-72 hours.

Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) with USS VirginiaExperimentalWith the use of the UVA Artificial Pancreas (DiAs), the study will assess safety and feasibility and are not powered for statistical significance. These studies are intended to train staff on system function and obtain data regarding safe and feasible system use. Camp participants will be randomized to either closed-loop control using the DiAs or sensor-augmented pump therapy only. These studies would generate up to 120 days of closed-loop data and 120 comparable days of open-loop data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) with USS Virginia and Sensor Augmented Pump Therapy in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by University of Virginia at 2 sites 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?

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 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

DiAs time within target (time frame: 7 days/6 nights). 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 NCT02147860, 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 Jul 2016.
