About this study

Official title: Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Associated With Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Comparison With Subcutaneous Multi-injection Insulin Therapy Using Degludec as Basal Insulin: a Randomized Crossover Trial in Type 1 Diabetes

Several studies have shown that Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion together with Continuous Glucose Monitoring improves glycemic control in type 1 diabetes when compared to more traditional approaches; however, in available trials the basal insulin used in multi-injection therapy is typically glargine, which is associated with a higher hypoglycemic risk than degludec.

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin infusion (CSII) combined with Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), as compared to Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) of insulin analogues, using degludec as basal insulin, associated with traditional self-monitoring of capillary blood glucose (SMBG) in patients with type 1 diabetes. A crossover design was chosen in order to minimize study sample improving statistical power.

What is being measured

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

  1. HbA1c

    Variation of HbA1c in each treatment phase (difference between end-of-treatment and baseline for each treatment phase)

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Severe Hypoglycemia

    Number of subjects with at least one episode of severe hypoglycemia, for each treatment phase

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Local Reactions

    Number of participants with local reactions at infusion/glucose monitoring site

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CGM+CSII and MDI with degludec in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 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 26 Jul 2022. 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 Italy. 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 21 Jul 2022). 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?

HbA1c (time frame: 4 months). 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 26 Jul 2022.
