About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of the Omnipod Horizon™ Automated Glucose Control System in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

Subjects will undergo a 14-day outpatient, standard therapy phase during which sensor and insulin data will be collected. This will be followed by a 94-day (13-week) hybrid closed-loop phase conducted in an outpatient setting and an optional 12-month extension phase.

Read the detailed description

The study schedule will consist of a standard therapy data collection phase followed by a hybrid closed-loop phase.

Subjects will undergo a 14-day outpatient, standard therapy phase (Phase 1 or ST) during which sensor and insulin data will be collected. Subjects, or their caregivers, will manage their diabetes at home per their usual routine using the study continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) and remain on current multiple daily injections (MDI) or pump therapy. This will be followed by a 94-day (13-week) hybrid closed-loop phase (Phase 2), conducted in an outpatient setting where subjects, or their caregivers, will manage their diabetes at home using the Omnipod Horizon™ Automated Glucose Control System. After completing the 94-day hybrid closed-loop phase, subjects will have the option to continue using the system for an additional 12 months (Phase 3).

During the hybrid closed-loop phase, there will be supervised exercise challenges. A subset of subjects will participate in 5-days of supervised Meal and Exercise challenges. A subset of subjects will participate in 3-days of supervised HypoProtect Exercise challenges where comparisons were made between exercising in Automated Mode vs initiating HypoProtect 60 minutes prior to exercise vs initiating HypoProtect 30 minutes prior to exercise.

The hybrid closed-loop phase will begin on Study Day 1.

  15. Percent Glucose Management Indicator (% GMI)

    Glucose Management Indicator (%) approximates the laboratory hemoglobin A1c (%) expected based on average glucose readings from continuous glucose monitors from the last 14 days or more. Percent GMI provides information to a person with diabetes with how well their glucose is controlled over an extended period of time. A low value is more desirable than a high value, with a value of <7% being ideal for most people with diabetes. The calculation for GMI is as follows: GMI (%) = 3.31 + 0.02392 x (mean glucose reading in mg/dL from the last 14 days or more).

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 13 inclusion and 19 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 3 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 May 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?

Incidence Rate of Severe Hypoglycemia (Events Per Person Months) (time frame: Phase 2 hybrid closed-loop (94 days)). The study lists 4 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 NCT04196140, which also lists 5 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 3 Apr 2025.
