About this study

Official title: Use of the Paradigm 722 System to Improve Glycemic Control in Adult and Adolescent Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes: A Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Type 1 Diabetic subjects using the Paradigm 722 System, which is a glucose sensor-augmented insulin pump, can improve glycemic control when compared to subjects using the Paradigm 715 insulin pump only.

Read the detailed description

Glycemic control remains a significant challenge for both adult and adolescent Type 1 diabetics. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGMS) is currently used by clinicians to record continuous, retrospective glucose measurements which aid in identification of glycemic excursion patterns. This data is then used to make therapy change recommendations for the future. The Paradigm 722 System transmits real-time glucose measurements to the insulin pump every 5 minutes, allowing users to view their current glucose values, as well as to review glycemic excursions and trends over a 24-hour period. This System will alert users to high and low glucose levels, and will allow subjects and their clinicians to treat to a therapeutic target HbA1c under monitored conditions.

Subjects wearing the Paradigm 722 System will be compared to subjects wearing the Paradigm 715 Insulin Pump over a 6 month period to evaluate changes in glycemic control (HbA1c).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in A1c From Baseline to 26 Weeks

    Change is defined as A1c at Week 26 minus A1c at Baseline in each study arm. The difference between the change in each group will then be analyzed. A1c measure is defined as the percent of glycated hemoglobin using one standardized assay for all subjects.

    Measured: Baseline and 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Difference in Frequency of Severe Hypoglycemia From Baseline to Week 26

    Severe Hypoglycemia as defined by hypoglycemic events requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrates, glucagon or other resuscitative actions, as reported by subject. The frequency evaluates the total number of events. This will be analyzed and compared between the two study arms from baseline to week 26.

    Measured: Baseline and 26 weeks

  2. Changes in Hypoglycemia Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Baseline to Week 26

    Hypoglycemia is defined as a recorded blood glucose event <70mg/dL. The amount of time spent below this parameter will be analyzed and compared between groups from Baseline to Week 26

    Measured: Baseline and 26 weeks

  3. Changes in Hyperglycemia Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Baseline to Week 26

    Hyperglycemia is defined as a recorded blood glucose event > 180 mg/dL. The amount of time spent above this parameter will be analyzed and compared between groups from Baseline to Week 26

    Measured: Baseline and 26 weeks

  4. Glucose Sensor Accuracy as Measured in the 722 Group

    Percent comparative sensor glucose reading to blood glucose meter in agreement within +/- 20% (Clark Error Grid zone A + zone B).

    Measured: Baseline and 26 weeks

  5. Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) Questionnaire Assessed and Compared Between Groups

    Questionnaire evaluating subjects'potential fear of hypoglycemia events. Change assessed at Baseline and Week 26 and compared between groups. Likert scale scored with 4 being the worst and 0 being no problem.

    Measured: Baseline and 26 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Paradigm 722 sensor augmented pump and Paradigm 715 insulin pump in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. at 7 sites 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 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 12 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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 29 Apr 2011). 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?

Change in A1c From Baseline to 26 Weeks (time frame: Baseline and 26 weeks). 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 12 Jun 2017.
