About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Percutaneous Optical Fibre Glucose Sensor (FiberSense) Across the Glycemic Range With Rapid Glucose Excursions Using the Glucose Clamp

This is a single center prospective study. The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of FiberSense system across the glucose measurement ranges (from hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia) as compared with a gold standard reference laboratory method (YSI glucose) in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

The FiberSense system is intended to be used by diabetic patients in a home use setting as a CGM system using the interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose as an indicator of blood glucose levels.The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of FiberSense system across the glucose measurement ranges (from hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia) as compared with a gold standard reference laboratory method (YSI glucose) in healthy volunteers.

Receives: Device: FiberSense system

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall performance of the FiberSense device as compared with YSI

    Proportion of FiberSense readings within ≤15% of the reference (YSI) reading for blood glucose levels >100 mg/dl (5.55 mmol/l), and the proportion of FiberSense readings within ≤15 mg/dl (0.83 mmol/l) of the YSI reading for blood glucose levels ≤100 mg/dl.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Mean relative differences in FiberSense measured glucose from the reference laboratory standard (YSI)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Mean Absolute Relative Differences in FiberSense measured glucose from the reference laboratory method (YSI)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Accuracy of glucose rate of change measured by FiberSense sensor compared to glucose rate of change measured using the reference laboratory method (YSI)

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Lag time between FiberSense readings and reference laboratory method (YSI) results during induced glucose excursions

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Precision of FiberSense system readings: Precision Absolute Relative Differences with comparison of FiberSense system locations (inter and intra)

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Percentage of readings that are within 15% of the YSI values

    Comparisons of the percentage of readings from Dexcom and Fibersense, and comparisons of the percentage of readings from Bayer Contour Next and Fibersense, will be done separately during analysis.

    Measured: 1 day

  7. Percentage of readings that are within 20% of the YSI values

    Comparisons of the percentage of readings from Dexcom and Fibersense, and comparisons of the percentage of readings from Bayer Contour Next and Fibersense, will be done separately during analysis.

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Percentage of readings that are within 30% of the YSI values

    Comparisons of the percentage of readings from Dexcom and Fibersense, and comparisons of the percentage of readings from Bayer Contour Next and Fibersense, will be done separately during analysis.

    Measured: 1 day

  9. Percentage of readings that are within 40% of the YSI values

    Comparisons of the percentage of readings from Dexcom and Fibersense, and comparisons of the percentage of readings from Bayer Contour Next and Fibersense, will be done separately during analysis.

    Measured: 1 day

  10. Percentage of readings that are greater than 40% of the YSI values

    Comparisons of the percentage of readings from Dexcom and Fibersense, and comparisons of the percentage of readings from Bayer Contour Next and Fibersense, will be done separately during analysis.

    Measured: 1 day

  11. Adverse Event Reporting

    Measured: 14 days

  12. Median relative differences in FiberSense measured glucose from the reference laboratory standard (YSI)

    Measured: 1 day

  13. Median Absolute Relative Differences in FiberSense measured glucose from the reference laboratory method (YSI)

Model description
For the first 10 subjects, all sensors will be removed after the end of the clamp measurement day. The last 2 subjects will continue to wear the three sensors after the clamp study. The second clamp study will take place at Day 7±1. After the second clamp study, the commercial CGM sensor will be removed. The two FiberSense sensors will be worn for up to Day 14.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FiberSense system in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Lee's Pharmaceutical Limited at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 15 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 Aug 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 Hong Kong. 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?

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?

Overall performance of the FiberSense device as compared with YSI (time frame: 1 day). 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 11 Aug 2017.
