About this study

Official title: An Extension Study of t:Slim X2 With Control-IQ Technology

This is a 3-month extension study (DCLP3 Extension) following a primary trial (DCLP3 or NCT03563313) to assess efficacy and safety of a closed loop system (t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology) in a large randomized controlled trial. Upon completion of the NIH 3-month extension study, subjects will be invited to participate in a continued use phase with Control-IQ Technology, funded by Tandem Diabetes Care, until the equipment has received FDA approval for commercial use.

Read the detailed description

Participants in the 6 month primary trial (DCLP3) will be invited to continue in this 3-month extension study (DCLP3 Extension) following completion of the primary trial. The closed-loop control (CLC) Intervention Group participants from the primary trial will be randomly assigned to continue CLC or to switch to Predictive Low-Glucose Suspend (PLGS) therapy with t:slim X2 with Basal-IQ and Dexcom G6 for 3 months. The Sensor-Augmented Pump (SAP) Control Group participants from the primary trial will be assigned to CLC using t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and Dexcom G6 (CGM) for 3 months. Upon completion of the extension study, subjects will be invited to participate in continued use of the Control-IQ Technology until the equipment has received FDA approval for commercial use.

This extension phase has two separate objectives:

Objective 1: Among participants who used CLC in the primary trial: the primary efficacy outcome for the randomized controlled trial (RCT) is time in target range 70-180 mg/dL measured by CGM in CLC group vs. PLGS group over 3 months. Safety outcomes also will be assessed Objective 2: Among participants who used SAP in the primary trial: the primary outcome is to obtain additional safety data. Efficacy also will be assessed as a pre-post within participant analysis

Note: Primary Trial (DCLP3) is NCT03563313

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing t:slim X2 with Basal-IQ & Dexcom G6 CGM in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Virginia at 7 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 31 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 25 Aug 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?

Time in Target Range (time frame: 13 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 NCT03591354, which also lists 2 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 31 Aug 2022.
