About this study

Official title: Feasibility of an Investigational Extended Wear Infusion Set for Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) Participants

Over 1 million patients globally currently manage their Type 1 Diabetes mellitus using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with an infusion set that needs to be changed every 3 days. This study will assess the feasibility and device performance of the study device, the Achilles infusion set over three periods during routine insulin infusion.

This study will include 20 participants and has 3 periods:

Read more

Period 1 (up to 7 days): Trial run with study device with saline infusion. Period 2 (up to 7 days): participants will manage their blood glucose solely with their insulin pump and the Achilles infusion set. Blood glucose will be closely monitored with a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device.

Period 3 (up to 7 days): Participants will return to study center to receive a fresh Achilles infusion set and continue blood glucose management at home until infusion set failure or 7 days.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, non-randomized, home-use feasibility study of device performance, usability, tolerability, and safety of the Capillary Biomedical, Inc. (CapBio) Achilles infusion set for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII or insulin pump therapy) in up to 20 participants diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

The CapBio Achilles infusion set is a sterile single use device designed to be used with commercially available infusion pumps (e.g., Medtronic MiniMed). The investigational Achilles infusion set contains a coil reinforced soft polymer indwelling cannula with one distal and three proximal holes.

The primary objective of this study is to determine feasibility and device performance of the CapBio Achilles infusion set over 2 extended home use wear periods of up to 7 days each during routine therapeutic insulin infusion. Feasibility is evidenced by the absence of uncontrolled hyperglycemia and/or suspected infusion set cannula occlusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing coil-reinforced soft polymer indwelling cannula in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Type 1 Diabetes, run by Capillary Biomedical, Inc. at 1 site in Australia.

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 15 inclusion and 30 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 7 Mar 2023. 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 Australia. 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 7 Mar 2023). 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?

Rate of Infusion Set Survival at End of Day 7 (time frame: 7 days during weeks 2 and 3). 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 7 Mar 2023.
