About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-centre, Randomised, 2-period Cross-over Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of 24-hour Closed-loop Glucose Control in Comparison With Conventional Subcutaneous Insulin Pump Treatment Simulating Non-compliant Behaviours in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

The ultimate goal of the investigators ongoing research is the development of a closed-loop system for insulin delivery, which can help people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) attain a tight glucose control avoiding the risk of hypoglycaemia. The main components of the system are a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), an insulin pump and a computer-based 'model-predictive algorithm', which computes the amount of insulin to be given by the insulin pump according to the CGM values. In the studies performed thus far the efficacy and safety of closed-loop glucose control was evaluated both overnight and over a prolonged period of time including the day-time in children and adolescents with T1D. The results showed that closed-loop improved control of blood glucose and prevented nocturnal hypoglycaemia, as compared to the conventional insulin pump therapy.

The objective of the current study is to test the performance of closed-loop further, by evaluating the system during common non-compliant behaviours in the administration of meal insulin doses in adolescents with T1D. This will pave the way for a more comprehensive use of closed loop systems to control glucose levels in T1D under various "real-life mimicking" common circumstances. The present study adopts an open-label, randomised, 2 period cross-over design whereby closed-loop insulin therapy will be compared with the conventional insulin pump therapy in 12 adolescents with T1D.

Participants aged 12 to 18 years will be randomised for two 24 hour studies in a clinical research facility, during which glucose levels will be controlled by either the computer-based closed-loop algorithm (intervention arm) or by conventional insulin pump therapy (control arm). On both occasions, participants will under-estimate and omit the meal-related insulin dose for the evening-meal and lunch, respectively. The study will take place at the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility (WTCRF), Cambridge with participants recruited from paediatric diabetes clinics in England.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary efficacy outcome measure

    The primary outcome measure is time spent with plasma glucose concentration in the target range (3.9-10.0mmol/L) between 19:00 on Day 1 and 18:00 on Day 2 (23 hours), as obtained with closed-loop insulin delivery as compared with conventional insulin pump therapy.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary efficacy outcome measure

    Secondary outcomes will include:

    • Time spent with plasma glucose concentration above the target range (>10mmol/L) between 19:00 on Day 1 and 18:00 on Day 2 (23 hours).
    • Time spent with plasma glucose concentration below the target range (<3.9mmol/L) between 19:00 on Day 1 and 18:00 on Day 2 (23 hours).
    • Total and basal insulin delivery between 19:00 on Day 1 and 18:00 on Day 2 (23 hours).
    • CGM glucose levels between 19:00 on Day 1 and 18:00 on Day 2 (23 hours).
    • Overnight plasma glucose levels between 24:00 on Day 1 and 08:00 on Day 2 (8 hours)

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Closed-loop and standard insulin pump in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Cambridge 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 27 Jun 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Primary efficacy outcome measure (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT01629277, 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.

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 27 Jun 2012.
