About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-centre, Randomised, Two-period, Crossover Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Utility of 12 Week Day and Night Automated Closed-loop Glucose Control Under Free Living Conditions Compared to Conventional Insulin Pump Therapy Combined With Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes With Sub-optimal Glucose Control

The main objective of this study is to determine whether day and night closed-loop insulin delivery for 12 weeks under free living conditions is superior to addition of real-time continuous glucose monitoring in adults with type 1 diabetes and sub-optimal glucose control on insulin pump therapy.

This is an open-label, multi centre, randomised, crossover design study, involving a 6 to 8 week run-in period, during which glucose control will be optimised by a professional pump educator, followed by two 3 months study periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by an automated closed-loop system or by subjects usual insulin pump therapy augmented with real-time continuous glucose monitoring in random order. A total of up to 42 adults (aiming for 30 completed subjects) aged 18 years and older with T1D on insulin pump therapy will be recruited through diabetes clinics and other established methods in participating centres. Subjects who drop out of the study within the first 6 weeks of the first intervention arm will be replaced.

Subjects will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed-loop insulin delivery system. Subjects will have regular contact with the study team during the home study phase including 24/7 telephone support. Subjects will be discouraged from international travel during the first two weeks of closed-loop use.

The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L as recorded by CGM (adjusted for potential over-estimation) during home stay. Secondary outcomes are the HbA1c, time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CSII with real-time CGM in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Cambridge at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 42 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 8 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Austria, Germany, 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.

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?

Time spent in the target glucose range from 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/l based on subcutaneous glucose monitoring (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT01961622, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 8 Jun 2015.
