About this study

Official title: A Pivotal Study of t:Slim X2 With Control-IQ Technology

The objective of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of a closed loop system (t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology) in a large randomized controlled trial.

Read the detailed description

After consent is signed, eligibility will be assessed. Eligible participants not currently using an insulin pump and Dexcom CGM with minimum data requirements will initiate a run-in phase of 2 to 8 weeks that will be customized based on whether the participant is already a pump or CGM user. Participants who skip or successfully complete the run-in will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC group) using t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology vs. SAP for 6 months.

Being tested
t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology & Dexcom G6 CGM, Sensor-augmented pump (SAP)
Keywords
Artificial Pancreas (AP), Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin Pump, Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), Closed Loop Control (CLC), Sensor-Augmented Pump (SAP)
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology & Dexcom G6 CGMDevice

    Participants will use the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology \& Dexcom G6 CGM for 6 months at home.

  • Sensor-augmented pump (SAP)Device

    Participants will use an insulin pump with no automated insulin delivery and a study CGM (Dexcom G6) for 6 months at home.

Fear of Hypoglycemia Survey (HFS-II) for adults has a total score that is summed from the two subscale scores (33 items) and ranges from 0 to 132 with higher scores indicating greater degrees of fear of hypoglycemia. The teen survey has a total of 25 items and the range of Total scores is 0 to 100. The parent version of the survey has a total of 26 items with Total scores that range from 0 to 108.

    Measured: 26 weeks

  22. Hyperglycemia Avoidance Scale

    Hyperglycemia Avoidance Scale total score is the sum of 21 items rated on a 4 point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always) and ranges from 0 to 84 with a higher score indicating greater degrees of avoiding hyperglycemia.

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?

Time in Target Range (time frame: 26 weeks). 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 NCT03563313, which also lists 7 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.
