About this study

Official title: Is the Artificial Pancreas, Without Carbohydrate Counting, Efficient and Safe for Ambulatory Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

This is a pilot, interventional clinical trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of artificial pancreas (AP) using the ARG algorithm closed-loop system in a monitored 3-day period outpatient study. Once the safety of the device has been validated in the open-loop first 3-day period (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) plus continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)) the investigators will move the study to the second 3-day closed-loop period, without carbohydrate (CHO) counting.

Being tested
Non-hybrid closed-loop system with ARG algorithm
Keywords

Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

What participants receive

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

  • Non-hybrid closed-loop system with ARG algorithmDevice

    To assess efficacy and safety of non-Hybrid Closed-loop System, without CHO counting

Study groups in NCT04793165
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Non-hybrid closed-loop systemExperimentalTo compare two types of treatments: During the first 3 days: Previous or conventional, with CSII plus CGM in open loop. During the second 3 day period: AP with CSII plus CGM in a closed-loop system, through the ARG algorithm.
Receives: Device: Non-hybrid closed-loop system with ARG algorithm

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of AP treatment without CHO counting in an outpatient setting.

    Percent of time in each range according to sensor glucose readings

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine the percentage of time with glycemic levels from 70 to 180 mg/dl (time in range).

    Percent of time in the target range of 70-180 mg/dl according to sensor glucose readings

    Measured: 3 days

  2. To determine, as a safety parameter, the percentage of time with glycemic levels less than 70 mg/dl.

    Percent of time in range of less than 70 mg/dl according to sensor glucose readings

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-hybrid closed-loop system with ARG algorithm in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Autoimmune Diabetes, run by Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires at 1 site in Argentina.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 30 Jul 2021. 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 Argentina. 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?

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of AP treatment without CHO counting in an outpatient setting. (time frame: 3 days). 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 NCT04793165, 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 30 Jul 2021.
