About this study

Official title: The Optimal Type of Bolus Following a High-protein Meal in Type 1 Diabetic Children Treated With Insulin Pumps

Patients receive a standardized high-protein test meal at breakfast time. Insulin is given as bolus (normal or dual-wave (normal plus square) and basal rate using an insulin pump. The 3h post-meal glucose excursions will be recorded by self-blood glucose measurements (SMBG) (every 1 hour) and continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). The intervention is taking part under in-patient clinical conditions.

Read the detailed description

The dual-wave bolus delivers an immediate normal pre-meal insulin bolus followed by square-wave bolus that is evenly delivered over several hours as programmed by the patient. The aim of this study is to compare post-prandial glycaemic excursions following a high-protein meal after administration of insulin by normal vs dual-wave bolus. During this prospective, cross-over, repeated measures study, pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes, treated with insulin pump therapy will be evaluated using the self-blood glucose measurements following standardized high-protein meal and two types of boluses (normal or dual-wave). The required insulin dose will be calculated based on patient's insulin-exchange ratio. A high-protein meal will be given on two subsequent breakfasts and comparisons will be made between normal and dual-wave insulin bolus delivery. Prolonged post-prandial glycaemic excursions will be identified using the CGMS.

What participants receive

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

  • insulin aspartDrug

    A kind of study bolus insulin will be insulin aspart if participant used insulin aspart before entering the trial

  • insulin lisproDrug

    Also called Humalog®

    A kind of study bolus insulin will be insulin lispro if participant used insulin lispro before entering the trial

  • insulin glulisineDrug

    Also called Apidra®

    A kind of study bolus insulin will be insulin glulisine if participant used insulin glulisine before entering the trial

Study groups in NCT02276859
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Normal/ Dual-waveExperimentalOn the first study day, pre-breakfast insulin was given as a normal bolus 15 minutes before a standardized high-protein meal. On the second day, pre-breakfast insulin was given as a dual-wave bolus before the same high-protein meal. The carbo-insulin and fat-protein-insulin ratio on both study days were identical to the patient's ratio when entering trial. Kind of study bolus insulin will be a rapid-acting insulin analog same as previously used by the participant (before entering the trial) - insulin aspart, insulin lispro or insulin glulisine

What is being measured

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

  1. Postprandial glycemia

    Post-prandial blood glucose excursions measured by self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)

    Measured: 60 minutes after the meal

  2. Postprandial glycemia

    Post-prandial blood glucose excursions measured by self monitoring of blood glucose

    Measured: 120 minutes after the meal

  3. Postprandial glycemia

    Post-prandial blood glucose excursions measured by self monitoring of blood glucose

    Measured: 180 minutes after the meal

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hypoglycemia episodes

    Hypoglycemia defined as a plasma glucose concentration below 65 mg/dl with or without symptoms

    Measured: 3-hour study period

  2. Glucose Area Under the Curve (AUC)

    measurements based on CGMS

    Measured: 3-hour study period

  3. Mean amplitude of glycemic excursion

    measurements based on CGMS

    Measured: 3-hour study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing insulin aspart, insulin lispro and insulin glulisine in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 Jan 2018. 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 Poland. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Postprandial glycemia (time frame: 60 minutes after the meal). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Jan 2018.
