A Randomized, Four-way, Cross-over Outpatient Study to Assess the Efficacy of a Dual-hormone Versus Insulin Alone Closed-loop System With Exercise Detection vs a Predictive Low Glucose Suspend System vs Current Care
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Artificial Pancreas Controller in Dual Hormone Mode, Subject's insulin pump, and 2 other interventions for Type 1 Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Closed-loop systems are an emerging technology that automate hormone delivery. They are quickly paving the way to revolutionize the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Several categories have emerged: dual-hormone (insulin and glucagon) closed-loop systems and closed-loop systems with insulin only, one variety of which is the low glucose suspend safety feature now available from Medtronic (MiniMed 530G with Enlite). The study described within this protocol is designed to test the efficacy of a new closed-loop algorithm for managing blood glucose in people with type 1 diabetes before and after exercise. The new algorithm will have 3 modes: a single hormone insulin only mode, a dual-hormone insulin and glucagon mode and an insulin only mode with predictive low glucose suspend, all with an exercise detection algorithm. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a dual hormone AP with an exercise detection algorithm outperforms both single hormone AP and a low glucose suspend algorithm and sensor augmented pump therapy using the subject's own insulin pump.

Timeline
Interventions
The artificial pancreas controller contains an algorithm for managing blood glucose in people with type 1 diabetes which includes an exercise detection component. The new algorithm will have 3 modes: a single hormone closed-loop insulin only mode, a dual-hormone closed-loop insulin and glucagon mode and an insulin only mode with predictive low glucose suspend. Closed-loop Artificial Pancreas Controller includes insulin and glucagon delivery algorithm implemented on a smart phone, utilizing sensor glucose values from a Dexcom G4 sensor and sending delivery commands to two Tandem t:slim insulin pumps, one filled with insulin and one with glucagon.
Subject will continue on their subcutaneous delivery of insulin on his/her own insulin pump using their own basal rates and carb ratios for meal boluses, managing their blood sugar as they normally would.
