About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Hypoglycaemia Notification Device Hyposafe H02 - the Pilot 2 Study - in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes

To evaluate the technical performance of the hyposafe H02 during everyday activities and during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, in addition to safety issues associated with the implantation and use of the hyposafe H02 in subjects with type 1 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

While a finger prick test accurately measures the blood glucose level, it does not provide continuous measurements and hence it is unreliable as a hypoglycaemia notification. Recent studies have indicated that the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reduces the risk of severe hypoglycaemia. However, some find these devices troublesome to use and are annoyed by the inaccuracy of the measurements and even after short-term use the coverage in subgroups of patients is as low as 50% of the time. Thus, there is a medical need for a reliable hypoglycaemia notification which is easy and convenient to use and with high sensitivity and high rate of positive prediction.

This clinical investigation is designed to evaluate the sensitivity and the positive predictive value of the Hyposafe H02 in subjects with type 1 diabetes during everyday activities and during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia. In addition, the investigation provides information regarding safety and usability of the device. This to verify that the Hyposafe H02 works as intended in subjects with type 1 diabetes before proceeding with a larger study in subjects with type 1 diabetes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity

    Number of spontaneous hypoglycaemic episodes detected by the hyposafe H02 compared to the total number of validated spontaneous hypoglycaemic episodes. Validation was performed by self-measured blood glucose (SMBG).

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Positive Predictive Value

    Number of validated spontaneous hypoglycaemic episodes detected by the hyposafe H02 compared to the total number of notification from the hyposafe H02. Validation was performed by self-measured blood glucose (SMBG).

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Overall Sensitivity

    Total number of hypoglycaemic episodes detected by the hyposafe H02 compared to the total number of validated hypoglycaemic episodes. Validation was performed by self-measured blood glucose (SMBG) or plasma glucose (PG).

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Overall Positive Predictive Value

    Total number of validated hypoglycaemic episodes detected by the hyposafe H02 compared to the total number of alerts from the hyposafe H02. Validation was performed by self-measured blood glucose (SMBG) or plasma glucose (PG).

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Sensitivity During Insulin-induced Hypoglycaemia

    Number of insulin-induced hypoglycaemic episodes detected by the hyposafe H02 compared to the total number of insulin-induced hypoglycaemic episodes.

    Measured: 2 days

  4. Positive Predictive Value for Insulin-induced Hypoglycaemia

    Number of insulin-induced hypoglycaemic episodes detected by the hyposafe H02 compared to the total number of alerts from the hyposafe H02

    Measured: 2 days

  5. Number of Participants With a Satisfactory EEG Quality Test

    The EEG quality test was performed twice in the study. At start up and at the end of the study. Evaluation was based on visual review of EEG of known phenomena and artefacts by an experienced EEG reviewer.

    Measured: start up and after 3 months

  6. Change in Impedance (kOhm) Over Time

    The EEG performance was measured as the impedance as a function of time. An impedance value below 5 kOhm is considered very good. Number of participants with impedance values below 5 kOhm and no change over time is reported.

    Measured: start up and after 3 months

  7. Device Deficiencies

    Total number of device deficiencies

    Measured: 4 months

  8. Mean Glucose Level at the Time of a Hypoglycaemia Notification

    Glucose levels were measured at the time of a hypoglycaemia notification during an outpatients settings (the spontaneous episodes) and during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia (the insulin-induced episodes)

    Measured: 3 months

  9. Development in Discomfort Over Time Based on Questionnaires

    Implant discomfort over time were evaluated at 3 time points; on average 3 weeks, 7 weeks and 15 weeks after implantation (baseline). Here the categories were converted into cardinal numbers: ranging from strongly agree=5 to strongly disagree=1 on the statement ''The implant has not caused discomfort in the past two days'.

    Measured: 3 weeks, 7 weeks and 15 weeks after implantation (baseline)

  10. User Satisfaction Based on Questionnaire

    User satisfaction were evaluated as to whether the subjects wished to continue to use the device

    Measured: 1 month

  11. Mean Number of Hours of Use Per Device

    Mean number of hours of use per device is measured as recording time of device

    Measured: 3 months

  12. Response to Hypoglycaemia Notification

    Response to hypoglyceamia notifications measured as the participants were able to take preventive actions upon notification of hypoglycaemia in an outpatient settings (the spontaneous hypoglycemic episodes) and during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia

    Measured: 3 months

  13. Alarm Fatigue Based on Questionnaire

    The participants were given a questionnaire regarding their preferences for sensitivity and false alarms at the end of the study. Reporting are for preferences during the day.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hyposafe H02 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by UNEEG Medical A/S at 2 sites in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 22 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2024. 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 Denmark. 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 26 Jul 2024). 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?

Sensitivity (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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?
