Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 6 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Patients over 6 years of age with type 1 Diabetes and Insulin therapy (MDI or CSII). The START group is heterogeneous, but it should be ensured that all patients in the start group do not use a close loop system so far. Furthermore, a maximum of 30 % of the patients in the START group should use the same pump system to ensure that the weighting of a single pump system does not become too strong.

Who may be able to join

  • signed informed consent
  • type 1 diabetes
  • Age >6 years
  • at least 10 IE daily total Insulin dose and 25 kg Body weight
  • Group SWITCH: already user of t:slim X2 with Basal IQ
  • Group START: Granting of the insulin pump t:slim X2 and DexCom G6 by the health insurance

Who cannot join

  • 1.Refusal of participation by the participant or a parent

About this study

Official title: Observational Study on the Use of the Insulin Pump Tandem X:2 With Control IQ Algorithm - Update

The aim of this observational clinical trial is to obtain data on the safety, efficacy and satisfaction of the Tandem T:Slim X:2 Pump System in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-randomized, non-blinded, prospective, observational single-center study, enrolling 2x 25 subjects in two cohorts (25 subjects in SWITCH group and 25 subjects in START group) with diabetes mellitus for up to 12 weeks. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the insulin therapy with the pump system Tandem t:slim X:2 with the special algorithm "Control IQ" in comparison to each other. The test system including the Control IQ software will provide an Hybrid-Closed loop - Modus, which can predict the future tissue glucose value and continuously adjust the insulin infusion according to need. The aim is to keep the glucose value permanently within the target range and to avoid hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.

Group START starts from any other diabetes therapy (MDI, PLGM (=Predictive Low Glucose Suspend), SaP (=Sensor augmented Pump)) directly to T:Slim pump with control IQ; group SWITCH switches from former use of T:slim with Basal IQ.

The study includes two visits only (start and end). At the beginning all patients have to complete questionnaires, and the data of the glucose sensor are read out and the metric data are determined and laid down.

Depending on the previous form of therapy, the patients are assigned to the corresponding cohort. All participants and parents, regardless of which cohort, receive a technical briefing from the study team as well as training on how to use the new system or algorithm. Subsequently, the system will be applied in everyday life in the coming weeks. After 12 weeks (end of study), the insulin pump is read out and the questionnaire on satisfaction with the device is filled out again.

After the end of the study, the patients participate in standard medical care as before.

What participants receive

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

  • Insulin pump Tandem: t:slim X2Device

    Also called Insulin pump Tandem: t:slim X2 with Control IQ

    Insulin pump with Hybrid-Closed Loop - Modus. The insulin pump t:slim X2 from the manufacturer Tandem, in cooperation with the glucose sensor DexCom G6, has the option of using an algorithm called "control IQ", which controls the insulin delivery semi-automatically by means of an MPC algorithm. For this purpose, the insulin basal delivery can be increased or decreased by the system. Furthermore, automatic bolus deliveries, which are possible in the amount of up to 60% of a manual correction, can be delivered.

Study groups in NCT05118945
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SWITCH group: Change from Basal IQ to Control IQThe patients of the SWITCH group used the X:s insulin pump with the "Basal IQ" algorithm until the start of the study and switched to the "Control IQ" algorithm at study start.
Receives: Device: Insulin pump Tandem: t:slim X2
START group: Change from conservative therapy to Control IQThe patients of the START group have a conservative Insulin therapy (MDI = multiple daily injections or CSII = Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) until the start of the study, but will switched to the "Control IQ" algorithm at study start.
Receives: Device: Insulin pump Tandem: t:slim X2

What is being measured

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

  1. Time in glucose range 70 - 180mg/dl (%)

    Both groups are evaluated together. Comparison of the time (%) in the glucose range 70 - 180mg/dl of the last two weeks of the study with the time in the target range two weeks before the start of the study.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. user satisfaction assessed by disabkids questionnaire for children and for parents

    Comparison of both groups with regard to satisfaction via specific validated questionnaire at the start of the study

    Measured: two weeks

  2. user satisfaction assessed by disabkids questionnaire for children and for parents

    Evaluation of the satisfaction of users via specific validated questionnare at the beginning and the end of study

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. mean glucose level [mg/dl]

    Comparison of the mean Glucose Level from glucose sensor [mg/dl] of the last two study weeks with the mean glucose Level two weeks before the start of the study.

    Measured: two weeks

  4. mean glucose Level before study start [mg/dl]

    Comparison of both groups concerning the mean glucose level of the two weeks before the start of the study.

    Measured: two weeks

  5. mean daily insulin amount

    Both groups are evaluated together. Comparison of the mean daily insulin amount (U/kgBW/d) (U/kgBW/d) of the last two study weeks with the insulin amount two weeks before the start of the study.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. mean daily insulin amount before study start

    Comparison of both groups concerning the mean daily insulin amount (U/kgBW/d) of the two weeks before the start of the study.

    Measured: two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes and Insulin Therapy, run by Kinderkrankenhaus auf der Bult at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 19 Sep 2024. 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 Germany. 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?

Time in glucose range 70 - 180mg/dl (%) (time frame: 12 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 19 Sep 2024.
