About this study

Official title: The Pediatric Artificial Pancreas Automated Initialization Trial (PEDAP-AI): A Pilot Study of AI Advisor-Driven Pump Initiation and Parameter Adaptation in Young Children With Type 1 Diabetes

The goal of this clinical trial is to obtain safety data and exploratory glycemic control data from use of an at-home closed loop control (CLC) system (t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology) with periodic parameter adjustments driven by an AI-based Advisor system in young children with Type 1 Diabetes. The main endpoints this study aims to answer is the safety and efficacy of the use of the AI-driven pump parameters. Participants will use the study system (pump and Continuous Glucose Monitor) in closed-loop mode for eight weeks.

Read the detailed description

In this single-arm pilot study of an AI Advisor-driven closed loop system initiation and parameter adaptation in youth age 2 to <6 years old, participants will use the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ and t:connect mobile application and Dexcom G6 or G7 system, connected to the University of Virginia (UVA) cloud-based Physician Dashboard for eight weeks at home.The key safety outcomes are adverse events related to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, CGM-measured time spent below 54mg/dL, and CGM-measured time spent above 250 mg/dL. CGM-measured endpoints will be tested against baseline for non-inferiority.Glycemic outcomes including time in target range 70-180 mg/dL (TIR) and various other CGM measures of hypo- and hyperglycemia will be assessed and tested for superiority against baseline and a matched historical control population from the prior PEDAP study that did not involve the use of any AI-driven pump parameters. Up to 45 screened participants with the goal of at least 30 participants completing the study pump use period.

  6. CGM Measured (e)

    Glucose coefficient of variation

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  7. CGM Measured (f)

    The high blood glucose index (HBGI) is based on a nonlinear transformation of blood glucose values that corrects for the asymmetry of the glucose scale. This transformation maps glucose values into a risk space (minimum risk = 0), where higher values correspond to higher risk. Values below 10 suggest low to moderate risk.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  8. CGM Measured (g)

    The low blood glucose index (LBGI) is based on a nonlinear transformation of blood glucose values that corrects for the asymmetry of the glucose scale. This transformation maps glucose values into a risk space (minimum risk = 0), where higher values correspond to higher risk. Values <1 suggest low risk of hypoglycemia.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  9. CGM Measured (h)

    Weekly hyperglycemic event rate

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  10. CGM Measured (i)

    Weekly hypoglycemic event rate

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  11. Binary Outcome 1

    Number of participants whose % of time in range 70-180 mg/dL improved by 5% or more from baseline to 8 weeks.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  12. Binary Outcome 2

    Number of participants whose % of time in range 70-180 mg/dL improved by 10% or more from baseline to 8 weeks.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  13. Binary Outcome 3

    Participants with % of time in range 70-180 mg/dL >70% and % of time <70 mg/dL <4%

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  14. Total Daily Insulin

    Total daily insulin (units/kg)

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

  15. Basal Insulin

    Percentage of total insulin delivered via basal administration.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-8

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 15 Sep 2025). 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?

Safety Endpoint (Tested for Non-inferiority Compared to Baseline) CGM Measured (a) (time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1-8). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06017089, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
