Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 to 24 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Males and Females aged 2-24 years
  • Clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • Duration of diabetes: At least 6 months
  • This will ensure some glycemic stability prior to study, and most children do not start on an insulin pump until about 6 months into their diagnosis.
  • Basal/bolus insulin regimen using long-acting and rapid-acting insulin
  • This will provide a uniform method of insulin therapy.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Willingness to perform at least 6-8 capillary blood glucose tests per day while wearing the iPro®2
  • Willingness to wear the iPro®2 for 5 days continuously per insertion
  • Participant agrees to comply with the study protocol requirements
  • Informed Consent, Assent, HIPAA Authorization, and California Experimental Subject Bill of Rights signed by the participant and/or parent guardian

Who cannot join

  • Comorbid conditions, including but not limited to cystic fibrosis, oncologic processes, other systemic diseases that may affect overall glycemic control
  • Glucocorticoid use within 2 weeks of study enrollment
  • Concurrent use of other medications that may affect glycemic control
  • Prior CGM use in the past 6 months
  • The participant has any skin abnormality (e.g. psoriasis, rash, staphylococcus infection) in the area of iPro®2 placement that has not been resolved at the time of enrollment and would inhibit the participant from wearing the iPro®2.

About this study

Official title: Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring Before Starting Insulin Pump Therapy

The purpose of the study is to learn more about blood glucose control when people with Type 1 Diabetes switch to an insulin pump. The investigators hope to learn whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps to create personalized insulin doses that may lead to stable blood glucoses and less frequent insulin pump dose changes during the transition to an insulin pump.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized controlled study. Participants will be asked to wear a Medtronic iPro2 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) 1-2 weeks prior to starting on insulin pump therapy. Depending on randomization groups, participants will either have CGM data used inform starting insulin pump doses (treatment group), or to standard of care for starting on insulin pump (control group). Participants will wear the CGM again during the first 5 days of pump start and at approximately 6 weeks after pump start, in order to collect blood glucose data. Each time the CGM is worn, blood glucoses must be checked 6-8 times daily, and a written log must be completed. Baseline medical information also will be collected at the start of participation. Participants will also be asked to complete a questionnaire at approximately 6 weeks after pump start. Participation in the study will be complete after a standard of care follow up visit approximately 3 months after pump start.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CGM Informed in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Children's Hospital Los Angeles 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?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 6 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 25 May 2021. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 May 2021). 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?

Percentage Time Within Target Blood Glucose (Range: 70-180 mg/dL) (time frame: First 6 weeks of insulin pump therapy). 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 May 2021.
