About this study

Official title: Continuous Glucose Sensing at the Site of Subcutaneous Insulin Administration: Evaluation of a Novel Single-Port Treatment Approach in Type 1 Diabetic Patients During a 1-Day Stay in a Clinical Research Center and a 6-Day Period at Home

The study seeks to evaluate a novel treatment approach for performing continuous real-time glucose sensing and insulin delivery at the same subcutaneous tissue site.

Read the detailed description

The treatment of type 1 diabetes usually comprises the measurement of glucose in blood obtained by finger pricking and the administration of insulin via subcutaneous bolus injection or continuous subcutaneous infusion.

This study seeks to test a new treatment approach where glucose sensing and insulin administration are combined and performed at a single subcutaneous tissue site (single-port treatment approach). A single-port device consisting of a continuous glucose sensor and an insulin infusion cannula is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of 10 type-1 diabetes patients and used for insulin infusion and simultaneous glucose sensing over a 7-day period. The performance of the single-port device is assessed by comparing the obtained glucose readings with those of a blood glucose meter and an additionally worn control sensor.

What participants receive

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

  • insulin deliveryDrug

    Subcutaneous insulin (100 U/ml, NovoRapid®; Novo Nordisk, Bagsvaerd, Denmark) delivery with an insulin pump (Vibe-TM; Animas Corp., West Chester, PA, USA) and an insulin infusion cannula (SOF-SET MICRO QR 6mm; Medtronic MiniMed, USA) placed at the same site as the continuous glucose sensor.

  • glucose sensingDevice

    Glucose sensing with a continuous glucose sensor (Dexcom G4 Platinum Sensor; Dexcom Inc., San Diego, USA) placed at the site of subcutaneous insulin delivery.

Study groups in NCT02359617
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
glucose sensing and insulin deliveryExperimentalSubcutaneous insulin delivery with an insulin pump plus glucose sensing with a continuous glucose sensor placed at the site of subcutaneous insulin delivery. In parallel, capillary glucose determinations using a conventional glucose meter as well as glucose sensing in subcutaneous, insulin-unexposed tissue using a continuous glucose sensor.
Receives: Drug: insulin delivery; Device: glucose sensing

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean absolute relative difference between sensor readings and capillary glucose readings

    Mean absolute relative differences calculated by determining the mean of the absolute value of the percentage difference between paired sensor and capillary glucose concentration

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing insulin delivery and glucose sensing in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 Apr 2015. 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 Austria. 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?

Mean absolute relative difference between sensor readings and capillary glucose readings (time frame: 7 days). 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 27 Apr 2015.
