About this study

Official title: The Impact of Two Medtronic Infusion Sets (a 3-day Set & a 7-day Set) on Lipohyperthrophy (LH) in Persons With Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Thought to Have LH

This is an observational study using ultrasound (US) and palpation to assess the impact of infusion sets on lipohypertrophy (LH) in an infusion set crossover study.

Read the detailed description

This is a 1-center, prospective, open label, 2-arm study of ≥16 subjects who use the insulin pumps. These subjects will be using 2 types of infusion sets for two periods of 3 months each type that will serve as an exploratory pilot study to assess the impact of infusion sets on Lipohypertrophy LH (see Figure 1 for study design).

Each subject will use their own MiniMed™ 670G insulin system as usual. Each subject will be given 2 types of infusion sets to wear and change sets per label use (3 days for Quick-set™ and 7 days for Medtronic Extended). Each type of infusion set with the longest length (43" in) will be used for this study. 7-day reservoirs will be used with the Medtronic Extended and 3-day reservoirs will be used with the Quick-set™. The infusion set(s) or reservoir(s) can be replaced independent of each other for Medtronic Extended.

The subject will use either Medtronic Extended or Quick-set™ infusion set for consecutive 3 months. During the three-month period, either the right side or the left side of the abdomen will be designated for one or the other infusion set (defined randomly). For each type of infusion set, a coordinate rule for site rotation will be given to have the Set placed in a specified area (left or right side) of anterior abdominal wall.

For each placement/wear, a daily log will be given to the subject to record time and location for the infusion set placement. Patients will be instructed to recognize areas of clinical apparent LH sites and refrain from inserting in these areas. At home, the subject will be expected to inspect their infusion site on a daily basis and if they observe signs of infection (i.e. erythema > 1 cm in diameter with warmth, pain, and/ or induration) at the infusion site, they should call the investigational center. In addition to the study procedures, the subjects are to continue their standard routine care. In the end of each month, the subject should self-inspected by palpation for LH and record the findings on the daily log.

At each study visit, insulin pump and CONTOUR® NEXT LINK 2.4 study meter will be uploaded into CareLink™ Personal For Clinical Research. Also, all the infusion sites will be examined ultrasonically for LH.

At each visit the clinical team will assess the skin in a systematic using the palpation method procedure and the ultrasound (US) evaluation procedure.

All participants will be asked to give demographic details and medical history. They will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires about their pump routine, diabetes distress, insulin treatment satisfaction and quality of life. All participants will have a baseline glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) taken. The Total Daily Dose (TDD) will be calculated based on the CareLink™ data.

It is anticipated that approximately 16 subjects will complete the study and up to 20 subjects may be screened. As this is an exploratory study, no power assumptions are planned. The study is anticipated to last up to 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Event rate of lipohypertrophy (LH)

    The study will be evaluated and summarized, including but not limited to the following:

    • Self-assessed LH by palpation using a visual analogue scale (VAS) 1 to 10, coupled with clinical examination by a physician if possible.
    • LH (appearance, location, mass, indices of vascularization and distribution) characterized by ultrasound.
    • The relationship between the observed LH and infusion set type, TDD, glycemic control, HbA1C etc.
    • Satisfaction of infusion sets using validated questionnaire, e.g. the diabetes treatment satisfaction questionnaire (DTSQ).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data: Time Above Range (TAR)

    Duration, and area under the curve (AUC) when Sensor Glucose>180, >240, and >250 mg/dL

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data: Time Below Range (TBR)

    Duration, area under the curve (AUC) when Sensor Glucose <50, <60, and <70 mg/

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data: Time In Range (TIR)

    Duration, area under the curve (AUC) when Sensor Glucose > 70 e < 180 mg/dL

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Glycemic variability: Standard Deviation (SD), Coefficient of Variation (CV), mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE)

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Cohort analysis by age

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Cohort analysis by duration of diabetes

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medtronic Extended Infusion Set in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Azienda Ospedaliera San Camillo Forlanini at 1 site in Italy.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 10 Oct 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Event rate of lipohypertrophy (LH) (time frame: 6 months). 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 10 Oct 2023.
