Trial summary

1. The accuracy of the sensors (Dexcom G5 vs FreeStyle Libre Flash glucose monitoring) will be evaluated by simultaneous wearing of the 2 sensors during 2 weeks. During these 2 weeks the patients will do at least four capillary blood glucose measurements to compare with the sensor results. 2. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study on the Accuracy and Usability Between the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System and the FreeStyle Flash Glucose Monitoring System

  1. The accuracy of the sensors (Dexcom G5 vs FreeStyle Libre Flash glucose monitoring) will be evaluated by simultaneous wearing of the 2 sensors during 2 weeks. During these 2 weeks the patients will do at least four capillary blood glucose measurements to compare with the sensor results.
  2. Patient satisfaction will be evaluated using a questionnaire that will be completed after the Dexcom G5 sensor has been worn for 1 month.
  3. The data recorded by the FreeStyle Libre Flash glucose monitoring system (average glucose,% above target, % within target, % under target, amount of hypoglycemia) in the month prior to the 2 weeks of double sensor wear will be compared to the same data recorded by the Dexcom G5 mobile CGM system during the first month of use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of the Dexcom G5 mobile continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system by comparison of sensor glucose measurements with capillary blood glucose determinations

    Comparison of sensor glucose measurements will be compared with capillary blood glucose measurements at least 4 times a day

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patients' and parents' satisfaction with the Dexcom G5 mobile CGM system will be evaluated by a standardized questionnaire

    Patients' and parents' satisfaction with the Dexcom G5 mobile CGM system will be evaluated by a standardized questionnaire after 1 month of sensor wear. Patients and parents will rate their experience with the Dexcom G5 mobile CGM system on a scale of 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). There are three questions about sensor application (e.g. It is easy to put the sensor on) and eleven questions about the wearing of the sensor (e.g. The sensor doesn't disturb me for sporting).

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Jessa Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 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 17 Feb 2020. 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 Belgium. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Accuracy of the Dexcom G5 mobile continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system by comparison of sensor glucose measurements with capillary blood glucose determinations (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 17 Feb 2020.
