About this study

Official title: A Randomized Crossover Comparison of Artificial Pancreas vs. Sensor Augmented Pump/Predictive Low Glucose Suspend With Different Stress Assessments in the Outpatient Setting for Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

This feasibility study is a randomized crossover trial that will compare the efficacy and safety of an automated insulin delivery (AID) system in patients with type 1 diabetes using a Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm versus sensor augmented pump therapy (SAP)/Predictive Low Glucose Suspend (PLGS), and will include different stress induction and assessments over a 4 week period.

Read the detailed description

Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms: 1) AID for two weeks and SAP/PLGS for two weeks , or 2) SAP/PLGS for two weeks and AID for two weeks. During the 4-week trial, subjects will wear the Empatica E4 wristband every day to record electrodermal activity, accelerometer and heartrate data. Subjects will also complete logbooks to record activity and stress. During each two-week period, subjects will come to the clinical center twice for stress induction tests in a medically supervised setting.

What participants receive

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

  • iAPSDevice

    The AID system (iAPS) is comprised of an insulin pump, a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring sensor, and a smart phone that contains the algorithm and communicates with the other devices.

  • Sensor-Augmented PumpOther

    Subjects will use their home insulin pump and a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring sensor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iAPS and Sensor-Augmented Pump in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Sansum Diabetes Research Institute at 2 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 9 inclusion and 38 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 1 Dec 2020. 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 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?

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?

Time in target glucose range (time frame: 4 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 NCT04142229, 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 1 Dec 2020.
