About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Five-way, Cross-over Study to Compare the Efficacy of Single- and Dual-hormone Closed-loop Operations Combined With Either Conventional Carbohydrate Counting or a Simplified Qualitative Meal-size Estimation, and Sensor-augmented Pump Therapy in Regulating Glucose Levels in Children and Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

Current intensive insulin therapy in T1D involves prandial insulin boluses depending on the carbohydrate content of each ingested meal. Carbohydrate content of ingested meals is the main determinant of post-meal glucose excursion. Therefore, accurate carbohydrate counting is a critical aspect of managing postprandial blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes in order to avoid too much or too little insulin resulting in hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, respectively. Precision of carbohydrate counting is associated with better glycemic control. However, accurate carbohydrate counting is a challenging task for many patients with type 1 diabetes. Recent developments of continuous glucose sensors and insulin infusion pumps have motivated the research toward "closed-loop'' strategies to regulate glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. In a closed-loop strategy, the pump insulin infusion rate is altered based on a computer generated recommendation that rely on continuous glucose sensor readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop strategy has also been recently proposed to regulate glucose levels. In a dual-hormone strategy, subcutaneous insulin delivery is accompanied by subcutaneous glucagon infusion. Postprandial meal glucose control with closed-loop strategy still needs some improvements. The objective of this study is to test in outpatient unrestricted settings whether, in the context of closed-loop strategy, conventional meal carbohydrate counting could be reduced to a simplified qualitative meal size estimation without a significant degradation in overall glycemic control in children and adult patients with type 1 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that 1) dual-hormone closed-loop strategy with qualitative meal size estimation is equivalent to dual-hormone closed-loop strategy with CHO counting in terms of mean glucose; 2) single-hormone closed-loop strategy with qualitative meal size estimation is equivalent to single-hormone closed-loop strategy with CHO counting in terms of mean glucose;

What participants receive

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

  • 6-day intervention with sensor-augmented pump therapyOther

    One day prior to the intervention, participants will have to install a glucose sensor and the study insulin pump. Participants will adjust their insulin delivery as per their standard practice; including temporary basal and correction boluses. Participants will have access to their finger-stick glucose measurements and will be advised to measure their glucose level as per their standard practice. Participants will be asked to install a new infusion set every 2 days. Participants will be allowed to eat whatever they want and allowed to drink alcohol. Participants will use sensor-augmented pump therapy for 6 days.

  • 6-day intervention with single-hormone closed-loop strategyOther

    One day prior to the intervention, participants will have to install a glucose sensor and the study insulin pump. On the first day of the intervention, participants will be admitted to the clinical research facility in the morning. A team member will review with the participant how to use study devices. Competency on the use of study devices will be assessed by a team member. Only participants demonstrating competency on use of study devices will be allowed to continue to the home study phase. Participants will be allowed to go home in the afternoon. They will be advised to continue with study intervention at home for the next 5 days. Participants will be asked to install a new infusion set every 2 days. Participants will be allowed to eat whatever they want and allowed to drink alcohol.

  • 6-day intervention with dual-hormone closed-loop strategyOther

    One day prior to the intervention, participants will have to install a glucose sensor and the study insulin pump. On the first day of the intervention, participants will be admitted to the clinical research facility in the morning. Participants will have to install a second pump containing glucagon. A team member will review with the participant how to use study devices. Competency on the use of study devices will be assessed by a team member. Only participants demonstrating competency on use of study devices will be allowed to continue to the home study phase. Participants will be allowed to go home in the afternoon. They will be advised to continue with study intervention at home for the next 5 days. Participants will be asked to install a new infusion set every 2 days. Participants will be allowed to eat whatever they want and allowed to drink alcohol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 6-day intervention with sensor-augmented pump therapy, 6-day intervention with single-hormone closed-loop strategy and 6-day intervention with dual-hormone closed-loop strategy 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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 day-and-night glucose levels (time frame: 6 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 Oct 2017.
