About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Usability and Effect on the Metabolic Control of the Omnipod DASH Insulin Administration System in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

In this study the usability of the Omnipod DASH insulin administration system is evaluated prospectively by two questionnaires. The effect on the metabolic control is evaluated retrospectively by analysis of data from the medical records of the patients.

Read the detailed description

In the study the usability of the Omnipod DASH (= insulin patch pump) is evaluated prospectively by two questionnaires. The first questionnaire concerns practical items on the application of the pump (e.g. Is it easy to fill to pod?), the wearing of the pump (e.g. Is it comfortable to wear the pump?) and the comparison with insulin administration with insulin pens or other insulin pumps (e.g. is it less painful to administrate insulin by the Omnipod DASH pump). The second questionnaire asks for possible problems that the patients experienced during the wearing of the pump (e.g. did you experience an allergic skin reaction). The questions are formulated to be answered by a 5-point likert scale.

The metabolic control is studied retrospectively from data extracted from the medical records, i.e. the results of the determination of HbA1c and the results from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) at the start, and after 2, 4 and 6 months of the wearing of the Omnipod DASH insulin pump.

What is being measured

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

  1. Usability of and problems encountered with the Omnipod Dash insulin administration system

    Usability of and problems encountered with the Omnipod Dash insulin administration system is evaluated by 2 home made questionnaire evaluated by a 5 point Likert scale. The first questionnaire includes 3 questions about the application of the pod (e.g. it is easy to place the pod), 7 questions about the wearing of the pod (e.g. the pod doesn't hinder me during sleeping) and 11 questions comparing insulin administration with insulin pens (e.g. insulin administration with the pod is more discrete). The second questionnaire includes 9 questions about possible problems with the Omnipod DASH insulin administration system (e.g. I developped an allergic skin reaction).

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Metabolic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus

    Metabolic control of the type 1 diabetes mellitus measured by HbA1c levels and results from continuous glucose measurement data (e.g. time in range, time below range, time above range).

    Measured: Before and during the first 6 months of wearing the Omnipod Dash insulin administration system

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Children, run by Jessa Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 23 Sep 2022. 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 Belgium. 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?

Usability of and problems encountered with the Omnipod Dash insulin administration system (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months). 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 23 Sep 2022.
