About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Two-way, Cross-over Study to Assess the Efficacy of Single-hormone Closed-loop Strategy and Sensor-augmented Pump Therapy in Regulating Glucose Levels for 12 Days in Free-living Outpatient Conditions in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings.

The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of single-hormone closed-loop and sensor-augmented pump therapy in regulating day-and-night glucose levels in adults with T1D for 12 days in outpatient settings.

The investigators hypothesize that dual-hormone closed-loop will increase the percentage of time of glucose levels spent in the target range in adults compared to single-hormone closed-loop, which in turn will be more effective than sensor-augmented pump therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • 12-day intervention with sensor-augmented pump therapyOther

    A sensor will be inserted on the day before the start of the intervention by the participants. The participant will also have to install the study insulin pump. Participants will be advised to continue with study intervention at home for the next 12 days.

    Participants will have been previously shown how to use the study insulin pump.

  • 12-day intervention with single-hormone closed-loop strategyOther

    A sensor will be inserted on the day before the start of the intervention by the participants. On the first day of the intervention, participants will be admitted to the clinical research facility anytime between 8:00 am and 11:30 am. Training on connection and disconnection of the system, meal boluses, etc. will be given.

    Only participants demonstrating competency on use of study devices will be allowed to continue to the home study phase. Participants will be advised to continue with study intervention at home for the next 12 days.

Study groups in NCT02846831
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sensor-augmented pump therapyActive comparatorParticipants will use sensor-augmented pump therapy with low-glucose suspend to regulate glucose levels. The low-glucose suspend feature available in the MiniMed® Paradigm® Veo™, Medtronic combined with the Enlite sensor® will be used. This feature allows for suspension of insulin delivery at a pre-set sensor glucose value for up to 2 hours.
Receives: Other: 12-day intervention with sensor-augmented pump therapy; Device: Insulin pump; Device: Continuous glucose monitoring system; Drug: Insulin
Single-hormone closed-loop strategyActive comparatorVariable subcutaneous insulin infusion will be used to regulate glucose levels. Participant's usual fast-acting insulin analog will be infused using a subcutaneous infusion pump (MiniMed® Paradigm® Veo™, Medtronic). Every 10 minutes, the glucose levels as measured by the sensor (Enlite sensor®, Medtronic) will be transferred automatically to a smartphone, that harbors the algorithm, that will calculate the recommended doses and will send it wirelessly to the infusion pump.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 12-day intervention with sensor-augmented pump therapy, 12-day intervention with single-hormone closed-loop strategy and Insulin pump in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal at 2 sites 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 14 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 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Percentage of time of glucose levels spent between 3.9 and 10 mmol/L. (time frame: 288 hours). 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 NCT02846831, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jun 2020.
