About this study

Official title: Comparison of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) With Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) for the Treatment of Pregestational Diabetes During Pregnancy

This study is investigating whether insulin treatment with the insulin pump or with multiple daily injections (MDI) gives better outcomes for mother and baby in pregnant women with pregestational diabetes. Participants will be randomized to use either the insulin pump or MDI.

Read the detailed description

Primary outcome is a composite of Cesarian section, instrumental delivery, maternal hypertension, LGA infant, neonatal hypoglycemia or SCN admission.

Being tested
insulin pump, multiple daily insulin injection
Keywords
insulin pump, CSII, multiple daily injections, MDI, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, pregnancy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • insulin pumpDevice

    subjects in the experimental arm will administer insulin using a pump

  • multiple daily insulin injectionOther

    Subjects will continue with usual insulin injections

Study groups in NCT02064023
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
insulin pumpExperimentalsubjects will use an insulin pump for the duration of the pregnancy. The intervention is that they will control their diabetes using an insulin pump
Receives: Device: insulin pump
Multiple Daily Insulin injectionsActive comparatorsubjects will continue their usual insulin treatment with multiple daily injections of sc insulin
Receives: Other: multiple daily insulin injection

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite obstetrical/perinatal endpoint consisting of specific elements (see description)

    Composite obstetrical/perinatal endpoint consisting of one or more of pre-eclampsia, primary caesarian section, pre-term delivery, spontaneous abortion, termination for congenital anomaly or chromosomal abnormality, perinatal mortality, large-for-gestational age, shoulder dystocia, birth injury, major congenital anomaly, neonatal hypoglycemia, jaundice requiring phototherapy, or admission to neonatal intensive care nursery.

    Measured: Up to 42 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean maternal HbA1c during pregnancy

    HbA1c will be measured at least every three months to provide information about overall glycemic control

    Measured: up to 42 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing insulin pump and multiple daily insulin injection in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of British Columbia at 2 sites in Canada.

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 12 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Some sites withdrew because no contract with insulin pump supplier). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Composite obstetrical/perinatal endpoint consisting of specific elements (see description) (time frame: Up to 42 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 30 Oct 2017.
