About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Three-way, Cross-over Study to Assess the Efficacy of Single-hormone Closed-loop Strategy, Dual-hormone Closed-loop Strategy and Conventional Pump Therapy in Regulating Overnight Glucose Levels in Children With Type 1 Diabetes in a Diabetes Camp

Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormone: insulin and glucagon.

The main objective of this project is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone closed-loop strategy, dual-hormone closed-loop strategy and pump therapy to regulate overnight glucose levels in children with type 1 diabetes in a diabetes camp.

The investigators hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy reduces the time spent in hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to single-hormone closed-loop strategy, which in turn is more effective than the conventional pump therapy to reduce time spent in hypoglycemia

Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormone: insulin and glucagon.

The investigators aim to conduct a randomized three-way cross-over trial comparing single hormone closed-loop strategy, dual-hormone closed-loop strategy and the conventional pump therapy. The investigators aim to compare the three interventions for 3 consecutive nights in children with type 1 diabetes in a diabetes camp.

What participants receive

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

  • Single-hormone closed-loop strategyDevice

    Variable subcutaneous insulin infusion rates will be used to regulate glucose levels. Insulin Aspart (Novorapid, Novo Nordisk) will be used.

  • Dual-hormone closed-loop strategyDevice

    Variable subcutaneous insulin and glucagon infusion rates will be used to regulate glucose levels. Insulin Aspart (Novorapid, Novo Nordisk) and Glucagon (Eli Lilly and Company) will be used.

  • Insulin pump therapyDevice

    Subjects will use conventional pump therapy to regulate glucose levels. Insulin Aspart (Novorapid, Novo Nordisk) will be used.

Receives: Device: Insulin pump therapy
Single-hormone closed-loop strategyActive comparatorGlucose levels will be controlled by single-hormone closed-loop strategy for 3 consecutive nights. A member of the research team will be present at the diabetic camp to ensure protocol implementation and patient's safety. Glucose levels will be controlled by single-hormone closed-loop strategy between 22:00 until 7:00 next morning. Glucose sensor reading will be entered manually into the computer every 10 minutes. The computer will generate a recommendation for the basal rates of insulin delivery. Pump's parameters will then be changed manually to implement the computer generated recommendations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Single-hormone closed-loop strategy, Dual-hormone closed-loop strategy and Insulin pump therapy in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal at 1 site 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2014. 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 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.

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?

Percentage of time of glucose levels spent below 4.0 mmol/L. (time frame: Up to 8 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 NCT02189694, 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 3 Sep 2014.
