This clinical trial aims to demonstrate the safety of the Closed-Loop Control (CLC), also known as Artificial Pancreas (AP) named t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and assess usability in a supervised setting for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in young children (2-6 years old).

Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes
Being tested
Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology + Dexcom G6
Keywords
Artificial Pancreas (AP), Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), Closed Loop Control (CLC), Insulin Pump
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology + Dexcom G6Device

    Also called Artificial Pancreas, Automated Insulin Delivery Device

    Subjects will use the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control- IQ Technology and Dexcom G6 CGM to control their glycemia. The Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ device is an automated insulin delivery pump that automatically adjusts insulin delivery to predicted and prevailing glucose levels, as measured by a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor [CGM].

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Virginia at 3 sites in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 14 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 22 Mar 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Mar 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Primary Outcome (time frame: Baseline results are from the 2-7 day (median of 4 day) use of Open Loop before the hotel admission. AP results are from the 5 day study admission using Control IQ including 48 hours of supervised hotel admission followed by 72 hours at home.). 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 NCT04084171, 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 22 Mar 2023.
