Trial summary

Carbohydrates are the main determinant of post-meal glucose excursion. However, fat and protein have been shown to also impact the postprandial glucose control, adding to the complexity of meal insulin calculation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Four-way, Cross-over Study to Examine the Efficacy of Single-hormone Closed-loop System in Regulating Glucose Levels in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Following Meals of Various Macronutrient Contents: a Pilot Study

Carbohydrates are the main determinant of post-meal glucose excursion. However, fat and protein have been shown to also impact the postprandial glucose control, adding to the complexity of meal insulin calculation. Few studies have looked at the effect of macronutrients other than carbohydrates on postprandial glucose excursions with the closed-loop strategy. The objective of this study is to test whether the single-hormone closed-loop strategy can achieve similar post-meal glucose control with meals with a fixed carbohydrate content, but high in protein and/or fat when compared to a meal with a fixed carbohydrate content only.

What participants receive

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

  • Patient's insulin pumpDevice

    The patient's insulin pump will be used to regulate glucose levels.

  • InsulinDrug

    Patient's usual fast-acting insulin analog will be used.

  • Dexcom G4 Platinum glucose sensorDevice

    The Dexcom G4 Platinum glucose sensor will be used to measure glucose levels.

  • Single-hormone closed-loopOther

    Interventions will be undertaken 1 to 5 days after sensor insertion. Subjects will be admitted at IRCM at 6:30 am in a fasting state. At 7:00, single-hormone closed-loop will be initiated. At 8:00, if glucose levels are between 3.5 and 12.5 mmol/L, the meal will be served. Patients will have 20 minutes to consume the meal. If glucose levels are not in this target range, the meal will be delayed for a maximum of 45 minutes. If after 45 minutes, glucoses levels are still not between 3.5 and 12.5 mmol/L, the test will be cancelled and rescheduled. The test meals will be: 1) 75g of CHO; 2) 75g of CHO + 35g of protein; 3) 75g of CHO + 35g of fat; or 4) 75g of CHO + 35g of protein + 35g of fat. The intervention day will end at 13:00.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve of sensor glucose levels

    Measured: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Mean sensor glucose levels

    Measured: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.

  2. Peak glucose excursion

    Measured: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.

  3. Time to peak glucose

    Measured: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.

  4. Percentage of time of sensor glucose concentrations between 3.9 and 7.8 mmol/L

    Measured: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.

  8. Total insulin delivery

    Measured: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.

  9. Standard deviation of glucose levels

    Measured: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Patient's insulin pump, Insulin and Dexcom G4 Platinum glucose sensor in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 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 30 Oct 2017. 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 Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Area under the curve of sensor glucose levels (time frame: The outcome measure will be calculated over the 5 hours following the breakfast meal given on the single-hormone closed-loop intervention. The 5-hour period is from 8:00 to 13:00.). 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 30 Oct 2017.
