About this study

Official title: Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Use in COVID-19 Patients

The purpose of this research is to determine if CGM (continuous glucose monitors) used in the hospital in patients with COVID-19 and diabetes treated with insulin will be as accurate as point of care (POC) glucose monitors. Also if found to be accurate, CGM reading data will be used together with POC glucometers to dose insulin therapy.

Read the detailed description

Study participation involves placement of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) on the abdomen of hospitalized patients who have a diagnosis of COVID19. The CGM will measure glucose levels every 5 minutes which will be accessible for viewing using a receiver phone placed outside the patient's room and/or an iPad located at the nursing station.

Alarm limits for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia will be set on the receiver phone for nursing staff to review. These alarms settings will vary depending on whether the patient is on IV insulin infusion vs. subcutaneous (SQ) insulin. The number of glucose checks required with these two types of insulin varies significantly and requires separate handling.

Hospital glucometers will be used to confirm the accuracy of CGM readings during an initial "Adjustment Phase" of the study. If CGMs are found to be accurate, then finger-stick glucometer check frequency will be decreased, and some of the CGM values will be used to dose insulin therapy during the "Utilization Phase" of the study. The instructions for these phases will differ for patients on IV insulin infusion vs. SQ insulin infusion and are detailed in separate protocols. Nursing staff will choose the appropriate protocol at the time of CGM placement based on the type of insulin the patient is receiving.

Different patient variables (demographics, comorbidities, labs and vitals, administered medications) will be collected from electronic health record and will be evaluated to determine if they interfere with CGM readings. At the time of discharge, patients will receive a survey regarding satisfaction with the use of CGM monitors to manage their diabetes during their inpatient stay.

What participants receive

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

  • Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)Device

    A CGM will be placed on patients with diabetes mellitus and COVID-19 infection and interstitial glucose will be monitored continuously while the patients are in the hospital.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD)

    Per patient, the absolute relative difference is calculated as the absolute difference between Point of Care (POC) glucose measurements and the nearest Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measurement (within 5 minutes of POC), divided by the POC glucose value and expressed as a percentage.

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. CGM Recorded Hypoglycemia Episodes

    The total number of hypoglycemia episodes (glucose level below 70 mg/dl).

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

  2. CGM Recorded Hyperglycemia Episodes

    The number of patients that experience GCM recorded hyperglycemia episodes (glucose level above 250 mg/dl).

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

  3. Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

    MAP is a calculation that checks whether there's enough blood flow to supply blood to all the major organs. Too much resistance and pressure may impede that flow. MAP is the average pressure in the arteries throughout one cardiac cycle. Normal MAP is between 70 and 100 mm Hg

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

  4. Blood Oxygen Level (SpO2)

    SpO2 is a measure of oxygen saturation levels in the blood. It is the percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin (the protein the carries oxygen) compared to the total amount of hemoglobin in the blood. A normal SpO2 level for healthy lungs is typically between 95 and 100 percent.

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

  5. CGM Accuracy in Lactic Acidosis.

    CGM accuracy via MARD when patients have a lactic acid above 2.2 mmol/L

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

  6. Hospitalization Length of Stay

    Total number of days subjects were admitted to the hospital

    Measured: subject hospital discharge, up to approximately 3 months

  7. Sensor Related Skin Reactions

    The number of subjects who experienced sensor related skin reactions

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

  8. Patient Satisfaction Using the Patient Satisfaction Survey

    The number of patients who reported being satisfied and very satisfied. The Patient Satisfaction Survey measures the level of patient satisfaction with the question of " How satisfied were you with the nursing staff using a CGM to measure your blood sugar?" the score ranges from 0 (not at all) to 5 (very satisfied).

    Measured: From date of admission and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

  9. Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Calibrations

    The number of calibrations that were performed on the CGM per patient.

    Measured: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Covid19, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 4 Aug 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 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 4 Aug 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?

Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) (time frame: From date of enrollment and until discharge from the hospital up to 30 days.). 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 4 Aug 2023.
