About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy of Sensor-augmented Pump Therapy Versus Hybrid Closed-loop Glucose Management (MiniMed670G™) in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes at Home in a Randomized Controlled Trial

Closed loop technology has been shown to reduce both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, as well as reduce glycemic variability. Sensor augmented pump (SAP) therapy means the addition of alerts according to high or low glucose values as well as trend arrows showing actual glucose trends to pump therapy. This Hybrid closed loop (HCL) system provides several additional effects compared to SAP therapy: according to actual and predicted sensor glucose values, the insulin therapy can be adopted automatically by pump: in case of high values (or predicted) more insulin will be administered, in case of low values (or predicted) the insulin infusion will be decreased a suspended and resumed again. So the HCL provides a lot more automatic functions to keep glucose in target compared to SAP.

The aim of the current trial is to compare the SAP-therapy with the hybrid closed loop glucose management in patients with type 1 diabetes at home.

Read the detailed description

Monocentric, randomized, controlled cross-over safety evaluation study. For the study, 20 subjects per age group (small children 2-<9 years, children/adolescents ≥9-14 years) will be enrolled (total n=40). The study is anticipated to last no longer than 6 months from investigational center initiation to completion of all data entry and monitoring procedures. It is estimated that all subjects will be enrolled into the study within approximately 3 months of study start.

  • Visit 1 - Day 0: (Subjects come to clinic): Consent, Screening (incl. blood sample) and device training, training to emergency behavior; Pump Start in low glucose suspend mode, alarm settings
  • Visit 2 - Week 1: Subjects come to clinic; start Run-in Period and start Sensor Augmented Pump (SAP) therapy without any SmartGuard feature, assessment of AEs; pump will be read out, data stored; subjects will be trained to use the Auto mode, Auto mode will be activated. All subjects will participate in a 11-week study period.
  • Visit 3 - Week 2: Subjects are randomized to start with SAP or Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) therapy and stay with an assigned therapy for next 4 weeks.
  • Visit 4 - Week 6: End of Period 1 and start of washout period. Subjects stay in this period with SAP therapy only. Evaluation of past 4 weeks, assessment of AEs
  • Visit 5 - Week 7: Period 2 starts. Evaluation of past week, assessment of AEs. SAP group will be using 670G with HCL and HCL group will be using SAP therapy for next 4 weeks.
  • Visit 6 - Week 11: End of Study, Subjects come to clinic; evaluation of past 4 weeks, assessment of AEs, HbA1c; pump will be read out, data stored. All study material will be given back.

What participants receive

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

  • Medtronic MiniMed 670G Insulin Pump in Auto ModeDevice

    Also called Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) System

    This kind of intervention will be part of the intensified insulin therapy for type 1 diabetic patients. The system will help to keep blood glucose in a defined range by automatic assisted adaption of insulin dosing.the HCL provides a lot more automatic functions to keep glucose in target compared to SAP.

  • Medtronic MiniMed 670G Insulin Pump without Auto ModeDevice

    Also called Sensor Augmented Pump therapy without Auto Mode

    Sensor augmented pump therapy means the addition of alerts according to high or low glucose values as well as trend arrows showing actual glucose trends to pump therapy. There is no automatic adaption of insulin dosing. The patients must respond manually after alarm or according to the trend arrows.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Therapy with Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL)ExperimentalThe Intervention is the specific function of the Insulin Pump from Medtronic® with the name "MiniMed® 670G (MMT-1780)" to deliver Insulin as medication. This Medtronic MiniMed 670G Insulin Pump in Auto Mode is an Hybrid closed loop (HCL) system including an Auto Mode function. It provides as intervention several additional effects concerning automatically insulin delivery by pump: e.g. in case of high values (or predicted) - more insulin will be administered automatically, in case of low values (or predicted) - the insulin infusion will be decreased a suspended and resumed again. The patients will wear the pump continuously.

Sensor Augmented Pump (SAP) therapyActive comparatorThe Intervention is the specific therapy of the Sensor Augmented Insulin Pump "MiniMed® 670G" (MMT-1780) without Auto Mode. This Medtronic MiniMed 670G Insulin Pump without Auto Mode' is a Sensor Augmented Pump (SAP) therapy and means the addition of alerts according to high or low glucose values as well as trend arrows showing actual glucose trends to pump therapy. The patients will wear the pump also continuously, but have to respond manually after the alarm. There are no automatically steps from the pump.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medtronic MiniMed 670G Insulin Pump in Auto Mode and Medtronic MiniMed 670G Insulin Pump without Auto Mode in people with Patient Care and Drug Therapy, run by Kinderkrankenhaus auf der Bult at 1 site in Germany.

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 12 inclusion and 25 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 16 Jun 2021. 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 Germany. 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?

Reduction of Sensor Glucose (time frame: 6 month). 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 16 Jun 2021.
