About this study
Evaluation of the biomedical and psychosocial impact of automated Closed-Loop (Artificial Pancreas) insulin delivery in women with type 1 diabetes during pregnancy
Read the detailed description
An open-label, multi-centre, randomized, two-arm parallel group trial comparing automated closed-loop and standard insulin delivery.
124 pregnant women between 18 and 45 years of age with Type 1 Diabetes of at least 12 months' duration on standard insulin delivery (CSII or MDI) will be recruited through outpatient antenatal diabetes clinics. Women fulfilling the eligibility criteria will be randomized to automated insulin delivery (AiD) or to continue standard patient-directed insulin delivery (CSII or MDI) without AiD. The study will take place within the home and NHS antenatal clinical settings.
Additional blood samples for the research will be obtained at the 24th and 34th week of pregnancy and questionnaires will also be completed by the participant at the 34th week of pregnancy. Following this we will collect information on the birth.
25 of the woman randomised to the closed loop insulin delivery system will also be interviewed to gain more information on, among other things, their existing diabetes management practices, everyday work and family lives and their experience with the device.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Automated closed-loop insulin delivery (AiD)Device
Closed-loop systems are designed to deliver insulin in response to CGM glucose levels and may help to improve glucose control above and beyond what is currently achievable using insulin pumps, injections and CGM without AiD.
A standard insulin delivery systemDevice
Self-directed insulin delivery for pregnant women with T1D, which is insulin pump or MDI.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| An Automated Closed-loop Insulin Delivery (AiD) System. | Experimental | The intervention being evaluated in this trial is automated closed-loop insulin delivery (AiD). The closed-loop system comprises of three components: an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and a computer-based model predictive control (MPC) algorithm to compute information from the CGM into a recommended insulin dose. Receives: Device: Automated closed-loop insulin delivery (AiD) |
| A Standard Insulin Delivery System | Active comparator | This can include either: an insulin pump (Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion - CSII) or multiple daily injections (MDI) without closed-loop. Receives: Device: A standard insulin delivery system |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The time spent with glucose levels between 3.5-7.8 mmol/L based on CGM measures (Time In Range TIR 3.5-7.8mmol/L)
The primary outcome is the percentage of time spent with glucose levels between 3.9-7.8 mmol/L based on CGM levels between 16 weeks gestation and delivery.as compared with standard self-directed insulin delivery in pregnant women with T1D.
Measured: Between 16 weeks gestation and delivery - an average of 18 weeks
Secondary outcomes (15)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Automated closed-loop insulin delivery (AiD) and A standard insulin delivery system in people with Diabetes, run by Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.
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 8 inclusion and 9 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 18 Dec 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 Kingdom. 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?
The time spent with glucose levels between 3.5-7.8 mmol/L based on CGM measures (Time In Range TIR 3.5-7.8mmol/L) (time frame: Between 16 weeks gestation and delivery - an average of 18 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 NCT04938557, 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 18 Dec 2023.
