Usability of Blood Glucose Control With the Space TGC System in Medical ICU Patients
A study testing Space TGC in people with Critical Illness, run by B. Braun Melsungen AG at 1 site in Switzerland.
Trial summary
Hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients and associated with an adverse outcome. Thus, glycaemic control is an important issue in critical care. Despite extensive efforts of the intensive care unit staff difficulties were experienced in achieving efficient and safe glucose control. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Monocentric, Open Study to Investigate the Usability of Blood Glucose Control With the Space TGC System (With Incorporated Software-algorithm eMPC) Over a Glucose Control Range of 4.4 to 8.3 mmol/L in Medical ICU Patients
Hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients and associated with an adverse outcome. Thus, glycaemic control is an important issue in critical care. Despite extensive efforts of the intensive care unit staff difficulties were experienced in achieving efficient and safe glucose control. A fully automated algorithm may help to overcome some of these limitations by excluding intuitive interventions and integrating relevant clinical data in the decision-making process. Space GlucoseControl (TGC system) is a decision support system which helps to achieve safe and reliable blood glucose control in the desired ranges. Information on parenteral and enteral nutrition is automatically integrated into the calculations. The primary objective of the current study is to investigate the performance and usability of the Space TGC system for glucose control in medical ICU patients.

Measured: all blood glucose measurements from start of treatment until last glucose measurement under treatment (i.e. stop of intravenous insulin treatment) up to a maximum of 14d
Usability parameters like convenience of alarming function; workload; blood sampling frequency
Measured: all blood glucose measurements from start of treatment until last glucose measurement under treatment (i.e. stop of intravenous insulin treatment) up to a maximum of 14d

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 Aug 2011. 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 Switzerland. 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?
(arterial) blood glucose values -> percentage of time within predefined glucose target range 80-150 mg/dL (4.4-8.3 mM) (time frame: all blood glucose measurements from start of treatment until last glucose measurement under treatment (i.e. stop of intravenous insulin treatment) up to a maximum of 14d). 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 18 Aug 2011.
