About this study
The purpose of this study is to determine if improving diabetes control by better controlling blood sugars, will help improve or normalize brain function as compared to routine diabetes care. We will use either the patient's own insulin routine (injections or insulin pumps) or a closed-loop insulin pump (Medtronic 670G). This system uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an insulin pump to automatically give insulin and may improve control of blood sugars.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in Gray Matter Volume in the Brain
Trends in total and regional grey matter volume
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Changes in Brain Activation (Dorsal Anterior Cingulate, Inferior Frontal Gyrus and/or Parietal Cortex)
Blood Oxygen level diffusion (BOLD) Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) was measured to assess functional activation occurring during "no-go" relative to "go" trials during a Go/No-Go cognitive task. Parameter estimates for an individual subject are obtained by modeling the subject's BOLD time series at each voxel against the expected BOLD response to a given task. Statistical weights (i.e., parameter estimates of activation strength) are determined based on how closely the observed and expected signals agree for each task condition to create parameter maps over the entire brain. Higher-level parameter estimates are generated via contrasts of the estimates from specific task conditions, which can lead to positive or negative values, depending on the relative activation of the conditions.
Measured: 6 months
Changes in WASI-II Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI)
The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence second edition (WASI-II) was used. The WASI-II is composed of four subtests: Block Design, Vocabulary, Matrix Reasoning, and Similarities. The WASI-II used in this study produces a Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI) score from the Block Design and Matrix Reasoning subtests' age-corrected scaled scores. The index scores are derived from a summation of the comprising scaled scores. The PRI score range is: 50-150. Higher scores mean better outcomes. Change over time in the PRI score is reported in each group.
Measured: 6 months

We will use either the patient's own insulin routine (injections or insulin pumps) or a closed-loop insulin pump (Medtronic 670G).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Closed Loop (Medtronic 670G) in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Nemours Children's Clinic at 5 sites in United States.
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 5 inclusion and 7 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 16 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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 16 May 2023). 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?
Changes in Gray Matter Volume in the Brain (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03428932, which also lists 12 linked publications.
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 16 May 2023.
