About this study

Official title: Determination of the Root Causes of Obstructions of Catheters in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Treated by Insulin Implanted Pumps

During this study, the investigators will perform a collection of biological and device samples (blood, catheters, insulin) in order to investigate the causes of catheter obstructions in patients with type 1 diabetes treated by implanted insulin pumps using intra-peritoneal delivery.

This multi-centre study is interventional with minimal constraints. After an inclusion visit, blood samples and an insulin sample from pump reservoir will be collected. During the following year, if a peritoneal catheter is blocked or changed, the explanted catheter and new blood and insulin samples will be collected for examination of the catheter obstruction and search for patient- or insulin-related reasons for obstructions.

In this study, 140 patients will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

In patients with type 1 diabetes treated by implanted pumps using intra-peritoneal delivery, the incidence of peritoneal catheter obstructions is close to 12 per 100 patient-years. Variability of occurrence is however important between patients. Fibrin, aggregates of insulin and fibrotic tissue have been found inside the catheter lumen at peritoneal tip or forming a capsule around the catheter. This study will investigate with more precision the nature of catheter blockages and look for potential causes of these obstructions such as stability of insulin in the pump reservoir, immune reactions against insulin or catheter components in patient plasma, prothrombotic factors in patient blood. Blood samples and insulin from pump reservoir will be collected at baseline (inclusion). During the following one year period, each catheter presenting an obstruction or needing a change associated with pump change will be collected and explored. Blood and insulin samples will be collected again for comparison with initial samples. Investigations will be performed in collaboration with Pr Burgess' team at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Connecticut. From obtained results, models replicating the conditions of obstruction will be elaborated and tested in rodents at the University of Connecticut. Solutions will be proposed to reduce the occurrence of obstruction of peritoneal catheters as an outcome of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collection of catheters for intra-peritoneal insulin infusion from implanted pumps presenting obstructions or not : collection of biological and device samples (blood, catheters, insulin)

    collection of biological and device samples (blood, catheters, insulin) the explanted catheter and new blood and insulin samples will be collected for examination of the catheter obstruction and search for patient- or insulin-related reasons for obstructions.

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Associated conditions related to the patient and to infused insulin

    Our study will investigate with more precision the nature of catheter blockages and look for potential causes of these obstructions such as stability of insulin in the pump reservoir, immune reactions against insulin or catheter components in patient plasma, prothrombotic factors in patient blood.

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Collection of intra-peritoneal catheters for insulin infusion in people with Type1diabetes, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Dec 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Inclusion of the last patient). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Collection of catheters for intra-peritoneal insulin infusion from implanted pumps presenting obstructions or not : collection of biological and device samples (blood, catheters, insulin) (time frame: one 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 29 Dec 2021.
