About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-centre, Randomised, Two-period, Crossover Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Utility of 16 Week Day and Night Automated Closed-loop Glucose Control Under Free Living Conditions Compared to Sensor Augmented Insulin Pump Therapy in Older Adults With Type 1 Diabetes.

The main objective of this open-label, multi-centre, randomised, crossover design study is to determine whether automated day and night closed-loop insulin delivery for 16 weeks under free living conditions is safer and more efficacious compared to sensor augmented insulin pump therapy in older adults with type 1 diabetes. The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L (70 and 180 mg/dl) as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the HbA1c, time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Measures of human factor assessments, cardiac arrhythmias and objective sleep quality assessment will also be evaluated in this study.

Read the detailed description

No study thus far has specifically evaluated use of closed-loop insulin delivery in older adults with type 1 diabetes. During our previous closed-loop studies, if there is a communication failure between the algorithm device and the insulin pump, the pump is set to deliver pre-programmed basal insulin rates after about 30 to 60 minutes.The main objective of this study is to determine whether automated day and night closed-loop insulin delivery for 16 weeks under free living conditions is safer and more efficacious compared to sensor augmented insulin pump therapy in older adults with type 1 diabetes.

This is an open-label, multi-centre, randomised, crossover design study, involving a 4-6 week run-in period, followed by two 4 months study periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by an automated closed-loop system or by sensor-augmented pump therapy in random order. A total of up to 42 adults (aiming for 36 completed subjects) aged 60 years and older with T1D on insulin pump therapy will be recruited through diabetes clinics and other established methods in participating centres. Subjects who drop out of the study within the first 6 weeks of the first intervention period will be replaced.

Subjects will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed-loop insulin delivery system. Subjects will have regular contact with the study team during the home study phase including 24/7 telephone support.

The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L (70 and 180mg/dl) as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the HbA1c, time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Measures of human factor assessments, cardiac arrhythmia and objective sleep quality assessment will also be evaluated in this study.

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 29 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 6 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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 6 Dec 2024). 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?

Proportion of Time Spent in the Target Sensor Glucose Range During the 16 Week Intervention Period (%) (time frame: 16 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 NCT04025762, 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 6 Dec 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
