About this study

Official title: Early Feasibility Study of a Zone-Model Predictive Control (MPC) Controller and a Health Monitoring System (HMS) With the Diabetes Assistant (DiAS) in the Outpatient Setting

This is a feasibility study of an artificial pancreas (AP) system with our previously validated Zone-MPC and Health Monitoring System (HMS) algorithms (ClinicalTraisl.gov: NCT01929798) integrated into the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) system.

Read the detailed description

This is a feasibility study of an artificial pancreas (AP) system with our previously validated Zone-MPC and Health Monitoring System (HMS) algorithms (ClinicalTraisl.gov: NCT01929798) integrated into the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) system. The system will be evaluated on 2-3 subjects per site (n=6-9 subjects) for 2 weeks at 3 different sites (William Sansum Diabetes Center, University of Virginia, and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN). Basal rates will be adjusted in a run-to-run manner by study physicians prior to the closed-loop phase for a maximum of 3 weeks. Subjects will then complete 2 weeks at home use of the Zone-MPC/HMS system using the DIAs platform for a closed-loop feasibility trial. The purpose of this pilot study is to establish that safe day-and-night use of the Zone-MPC/HMS system integrated into the DiAs is achievable in the home environment, to analyze and learn to improve upon the run-to- run optimization process, and to collect efficacy data to inform a future larger study.

What participants receive

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

  • CGM and Insulin PumpDevice

    Dexcom G4 Platinum CGM with Share AP Receiver Roche Accu-Chek insulin pump

  • Closed-Loop Control SystemDevice

    The devices that will be used in the Closed-Loop Control System include the following components:

    DiAs - a smart-phone medical platform; Dexcom Dexcom G4 Platinum connected to DiAs via Bluetooth CGM receiver; Roche Accu-Chek insulin pump connected to DiAs via wireless Bluetooth; Remote Monitoring Server connected to DiAs via 3G or local Wi-Fi network, and Zone-MPC and HMS algorithms running on DiAs (MPC and HMS)

Study groups in NCT02463682
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sensor-Augmented Pump Open-Loop Care (Week 1)Active comparatorThe subjects Sensor-Augmented Pump Open-Loop Care for the first week of the study before any adjustments to pump settings.
Receives: Device: CGM and Insulin Pump
Closed-Loop Control System with Zone MPC and HMSExperimentalThe artificial pancreas system will be allowed to employ its Model Predictive Control algorithm to make decisions about insulin delivery based on measured glucose levels. The Health Monitoring System algorithm uses the same CGM data as the MPC control algorithm but utilizes a separate algorithm for trending and predictions of future glucose values. Using a redundant and independent algorithm is an important safety feature of the overall AP device.
Receives: Device: Closed-Loop Control System

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and efficacy of the system, as assessed by the composite outcome of time in range for glucose levels of 70-180 mg/dL and time < 70 mg/dL.

    The primary endpoint for this pilot study will be to determine the safety and efficacy of the system, as assessed by the composite outcome of time in range for glucose levels of 70-180 mg/dL and time < 70 mg/dL, comparing between sensor-augmented pump use (open loop care) (week 1) to closed-loop care (final week), so as to determine the feasibility of eventual long-term use of the system.

    Measured: 1 Week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CGM and Insulin Pump in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Sansum Diabetes Research Institute 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 12 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 11 Apr 2016. 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?

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?

Safety and efficacy of the system, as assessed by the composite outcome of time in range for glucose levels of 70-180 mg/dL and time < 70 mg/dL. (time frame: 1 Week). 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 NCT02463682.

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 Apr 2016.
