About this study

The overall aim of this research proposal is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of an automatic closed-loop insulin delivery system.

Read the detailed description

This study will be completed in two parts.

The initial part of this study will be an inpatient evaluation of the system with the primary goal of assessing safety and feasibility. This will involve 8 subjects with type 1 diabetes, aged 14 - 40 years, admitted for up to 60 hour. Plasma glucose levels will be collected hourly and tested by YSI (YSI 2300, Yellow Springs Instrument). These studies will be performed at Stanford University and will include group sporting activities to mimic the diabetes camp environment. Capillary blood glucose testing will be performed every 2-3 hours before meals, snacks, exercise, and prebed by subjects with research staff supervision during the day and at 00:00, 03:00 and 07:00 by research staff. These data will be reviewed by the DSMB before proceeding to camp studies.

The second part of this study will be to test the efficacy of the system during diabetes summer camps. We will test the system in subjects with type 1 diabetes, aged 14-40 years, attending diabetes camp. There will be 20 subjects recruited, with 10 subjects randomized to the control arm Medtronic 530G system with threshold suspend (control group) and 10 subjects randomized to the automatic closed-loop insulin delivery (intervention group). Capillary blood glucose testing will be performed every 2-3 hours before meals, snacks, exercise and prebed by subjects with research staff supervision and at 00:00, 03:00 and 07:00 by research staff. The primary aim of this study is to generate preliminary data of system safety and efficacy in a closely supervised environment that challenges glucose control.

What participants receive

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

  • Automatic closed-loop insulin deliveryDevice

    Sensor transmit glucose data every 5 minutes to the control algorithm which adjusts insulin delivery every 5 minutes.

  • ControlDevice

    Also called 530G Pump

    Threshold suspend

Study groups in NCT02366767
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
automatic closed-loop insulin deliveryExperimentalThe closed-loop arm will consist of participants wearing a sensor and transmitter which transmits sensor glucose data. The algorithm determines insulin delivery rates and this is delivered in microboluses every 5 minutes
Receives: Device: Automatic closed-loop insulin delivery
ControlActive comparatorThe subjects in the control arm will wear the 530G system using Enlite and MiniLink transmitter and threshold suspend.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of Automatic Closed Loop Insulin Delivery System in Adolescents and Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

    1. As measured by the number of events of plasma glucose values ≤ 50 mg/dL OR frequency of system alerts preceding a plasma glucose value of ≤ 50 mg/dL in all subjects
    2. As measured by the number of events of system alerts of plasma glucose values >300 mg/dL lasting for more than one hour in all subjects.
    3. As measured by number of events of serum ketones >3 mmol/L in all subjects
    4. As measured by the number of events meeting the criteria for severe hypoglycemia, defined as hypoglycemic seizure, loss of consciousness or coma or an event requiring administration of glucagon or IV glucose in all subjects

    Measured: 6 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Feasibility of Using the Automatic Closed Loop Delivery System in Adolescents and Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

    1. As measured by the system initiating and operating properly for at least 75% of the time for 75% of subjects.
    2. As measure by the completion of study enrollment procedures and education on system use within 2 hours for 75% of the subjects.

    Measured: 6 days

  2. Efficacy of Hybrid Closed-loop System in Comparison With Control

    As measured by overall mean sensor glucose percent time in range 70-180 mg/dL.

    Measured: 6 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Automatic closed-loop insulin delivery in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Stanford University at 3 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?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 23 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 17 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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. 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 6 Feb 2017). 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?

Safety of Automatic Closed Loop Insulin Delivery System in Adolescents and Adults With Type 1 Diabetes (time frame: 6 days). 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 NCT02366767, 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 17 Mar 2017.
