About this study

Official title: Effect of Hybrid Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery System on Glycemic Management in Perioperative Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Receiving Parenteral Nutrition: An Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Trial

Glycemic control in surgical patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving parenteral nutrition represents a major clinical challenge. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the comparative effectiveness and safety of hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery versus conventional insulin pumps combined with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in perioperative T2DM patients requiring short-term parenteral nutrition.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center, open-label, 1:1 randomized controlled exploratory trial. Participants were randomly allocated via complete randomization into two groups: the experimental group (hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system) and the control group (using identical hardware devices, with the experimental group operating in closed-loop mode while the control group in open-loop mode). The intervention duration ranged from 5 to 7 days, adjusted based on glycemic control status, aiming to compare the efficacy and clinical benefits of hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery versus insulin pumps combined with CGM for glycemic management.

What is being measured

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

  1. CGM-measured Time in Range (TIR 5.6-10.0 mmol/L)

    The difference in percentage of time spent within target glucose range (5.6-10.0 mmol/L) between groups, as continuously monitored by a CGM device, to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery versus control in improving glycemic control for perioperative T2DM patients receiving parenteral nutrition.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Time above range (TAR) >10.0 mmol/L

    The difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values > 10.0 mmol/L between group

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Time above range (TAR) >20.0 mmol/L

    The difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values > 20.0 mmol/L between group

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  3. Time below range (TBR) <5.6 mmol/L

    The difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values <5.6 mmol/L between groups

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  4. Time below range (TBR) < 3.9 mmol/L

    The difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values <3.9 mmol/L between groups

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  5. Time below range (TBR) < 3.0 mmol/L

    The difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values <3.0 mmol/L between groups

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  6. Time below range (TBR) < 2.8 mmol/L

    The difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values <2.8 mmol/L between groups

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  7. CGM-measured Mean Glucose Level

    CGM-measured mean glucose level between groups

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  8. CGM-measured Glucose Standard Deviation (SD)

    The difference in the CGM-measured glucose standard deviation between groups. Standard Deviation represents how much glucose levels fluctuate over time from a given average.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  9. CGM-Measured Glucose Coefficient of Variation (CV)

    The difference in the CGM-measured glucose coefficient of variation (CV) between groups. The CV is calculated as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean glucose values for each participant, derived from CGM data.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  10. CGM-Measured Glucose Risk Index (GRI)

    The CGM-measured glucose risk index (GRI) between groups. GRI is a comprehensive metric derived from CGM data, designed to quantify the overall risk associated with blood glucose variability. It integrates multiple aspects of glucose levels, including the frequency and severity of both hypo- and hyperglycemic events, as well as the duration of time spent outside the target glucose range.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  11. Insulin dose

    The difference in the insulin dose between groups

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  12. Preoperative optimization duration (days)

    The difference in the preoperative optimization duration between groups

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  13. Time in range (TIR) 4.4-10.0 mmol/L

    The difference in percentage of time spent within target glucose range (4.4-10.0 mmol/L) between groups, as continuously monitored by a CGM device, to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery versus control in improving glycemic control for perioperative T2DM patients receiving parenteral nutrition.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xia Li, MD, PhD (+86 13974885753, lixia2014@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CGM-measured Time in Range (TIR 5.6-10.0 mmol/L) (time frame: Up to 28 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?
