About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of iDECIDE: A Smartphone App for Insulin Bolus Dosing

The investigators propose a randomized cross-over study Phase 1 Clinical trial. 30 type 1 diabetes adult outpatients using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring system will be recruited from the Endocrinology Clinic at the Mayo Clinic Arizona. Participants will be randomly assigned to 4 weeks of using their pump bolus wizards to decide insulin boluses and then 4 wks of using iDECIDE to receive recommendations for insulin dosing, or vice versa. The primary outcomes to compare iDECIDE's insulin dosing algorithm against the pump calculators will be: mean postprandial glucose level and number of events with excessive blood glucose highs and lows.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will seek approval from Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University Institutional Review Board to recruit 30 type 1 diabetes adult outpatients using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring system from the Endocrinology Clinic at Mayo Clinic Arizona. First, participants will complete a questionnaire to self-assess their confidence to count carbs from food/drinks, personal perceptions on how exercise/alcohol affect their blood glucose, and how they learned about it (e.g., trial and error, education from providers), and compensation techniques used to adjust for exercise performed/alcohol consumed (for instance, adjust for basal rate or adjust insulin boluses). Stored glucose data will be analyzed for the previous 8 weeks prior to entry to establish patient-specific upper and lower bounds for determining excessive blood glucose highs and lows. Second, participants will be randomly assigned to 4 weeks of using their pump bolus wizards to decide insulin boluses and then 4 weeks of using iDECIDE to receive recommendations for insulin dosing, or vice versa. Throughout the 8 weeks, study participants will be asked to wear a wristband heart rate accelerometer that will provide data on time and duration of exercise performed. Also, during the 8 weeks, study participants will use their glucose sensor and pump to measure blood glucose and to deliver basal insulin. During the 4 weeks when participants receive recommendations from iDECIDE, the pump's bolus calculator will be turned off so participants will receive no insulin bolus recommendations from pump. While receiving recommendations from iDECIDE, participants will use the pump to manually deliver insulin boluses and can either use the advice from iDECIDE or override it.

The primary outcomes to compare iDECIDE's insulin dosing algorithm against the pump calculators will be: mean postprandial glucose level and number of events with excessive blood glucose highs and lows. Potential secondary outcomes: mean percentage of time with low glucose level and time spent in the target glucose range.

What participants receive

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

  • iDECIDEDevice

    The iDECIDE app will be installed in study participant's smartphone. The app requests from study participants input on food consumed (included food's carbohydrate content), alcohol consumed (included alcohol's carbohydrate content) and exercise plans (including duration and intensity). Based on that input the app suggests insulin bolus dosing.

  • Insulin pumpDevice

    Study participants will use during the study their own insulin pump and continuous glucose sensor. As inclusion criteria, investigators expect study participants to have been using their insulin pump and continuous glucose sensor for at least one year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare mean postprandial glucose level

    Compare iDECIDE's insulin dosing algorithm against the pump calculators in terms of mean postprandial glucose level

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hypoglycemia events

    % time with blood glucose < 3.9 mmol/L

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Hyperglycemia events

    % time with blood glucose > 8.0 mmol/L

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iDECIDE and Insulin pump in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Arizona State University.

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 7 inclusion and 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Compare mean postprandial glucose level (time frame: 2 months). 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 2 Jan 2020.
