Trial summary

Patients with diabetes type 1 with poor glycemic control will be switched to insulin pump and FGM system (Flash Glucose Monitoring) during 6 months, correlated to the hypothesis that they could benefit from this intervention by being reengaged in diabetes self-management.

About this study

Official title: Combination of Flash Glucose Measure System and Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Therapy in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes and Poor Glycemic Control Related to Very Few Self-blood Glucose Measurements

Patients with diabetes type 1 with poor glycemic control will be switched to insulin pump and FGM system (Flash Glucose Monitoring) during 6 months, correlated to the hypothesis that they could benefit from this intervention by being reengaged in diabetes self-management.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-controlled proof of concept prospective pilot study in adults with type 1 diabetes, HbA1c >9% (75 mmol/mol), multi daily insulin injections ( MDI) and who perform less than 2 SMBG /day. Patients will be switched to insulin pump and started a FGM system (Free Style Libre®) during 6 months, hoping this intervention can reengage patients in self-management, reduce HbA1c without increasing the risk of ketoacidocetosis (DKA) and severe hypoglycemia (SH), and keep the DTSQ (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire) and HFS (Hypoglycemia Fear Scale) at good levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in HbA1c ≥1%

    Blood samples at baseline and 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Number of severe hypoglycemia episodes

    Number of severe hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by flash glucose monitoring

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Number of ketoacidosis episodes

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Any positive change in DTSQ scale (ΔDTSQM6-DTSQM0>0) (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire)

    Filling questionnaires at baseline and 6 months. DTSQ (Diabetes treatment questionnaire) includes 8 items, each score from 0 to 6 with a higher score indicating better outcome

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Any positive change in HFS scale (Hypoglycemia Fear Scale)

    Filling questionnaires at baseline and 6 months. HFS (Hypoglycemia fear scale) assesses participant's fear of hypoglycemia both overall and separately for behavior (10 items) and worry (17 items), both items scoring from 1 to 5, with lower score indicating better outcome

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Number of Hypoglycemia episodes

    Number of hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by Flash glucose monitoring

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Frequency of hypoglycemia episodes

    Frequency of hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by Flash glucose monitoring

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Frequency of severe hypoglycemia episodes

    Frequency of severe hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by Flash glucose monitoring

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Frequency of ketoacidosis episodes

    Measured: 6 months

  7. Any changes in Weight

    Weight measures at baseline 2 months and 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insulin Pump and flash glucose monitoring in people with Glucose Metabolism Disorders (Including Diabetes Mellitus) and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Groupe Hospitalier Pitie-Salpetriere at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 20 May 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 France. 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?

Change in HbA1c ≥1% (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03671161, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 May 2020.
