What participants receive

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

  • FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring SystemDevice

    Subjects will wear the Abbott Sensor Based Glucose Monitoring System masked for 14 days.

    During these 14 days subjects will be asked to perform 4 blood glucose tests (meals time and before bedtime) per day. At the same time as the blood glucose test a sensor scan is performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Point Accuracy

    Point accuracy of Sensor based glucose values versus fingerstick blood glucose determined as % within Consensus Error Grid zone A.

    The Consensus Error Grid was developed from a survey of 100 clinicians to evaluate the accuracy of glucose measurements. Glucose results from the system under test (y) are paired with those from a reference method (x) and each (x,y) point is plotted on a grid. The grid has 5 risk categories, assigned by the clinicians surveyed. Risk categories (in order of increasing severity) are: Zone A: no effect on clinical action; Zone B: altered clinical action or little or no effect on clinical outcome; Zone C: altered clinical action likely to effect clinical outcome; Zone D: altered clinical action, could have significant medical risk; Zone E: altered clinical action, could have dangerous consequences.

    Result were calculated for all subjects ie total number of sensor results and fingerstick blood glucose results divided by the total number of results x 100.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Abbott Diabetes Care at 9 sites in United Kingdom.

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 8 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 11 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United Kingdom. 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 12 Apr 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?

Point Accuracy (time frame: 14 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 NCT02388815, 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 11 Aug 2016.
