About this study

An e-learning training program is to prepare people with diabetes and their physicians on the use of UVA's Artificial Pancreas prototype -- Diabetes Assistant (DiAs).

Read the detailed description

This project will develop and test a comprehensive, web based training system for the artificial pancreas (AP) prototype identified as eDAPT (electronic Diabetes Artificial Pancreas Training). This e-learning training program is to prepare people with diabetes and their physicians on the use of UVA's Artificial Pancreas prototype -- Diabetes Assistant (DiAs), a software platform for the development and outpatient testing of smart phone based systems for Closed Loop Control of diabetes. The e-learning training program will be used in adjunct to in-person training with study staff at the onset of a clinical trial. It will be especially important as the number of clinical sites that use DiAs continue to grow both in the United States and internationally. It is also a critical step in moving the DiAs closer to a commercial product. A validated training program is required to proceed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for both pivotal clinical trials and commercial approval of the AP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by University of Virginia 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?

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 25 Oct 2016. 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?

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?

Validated eDAPT training tool (time frame: 2 hours). 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?
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 25 Oct 2016.
