Inpatient Evaluation of an Automated Closed-Loop Control-to-Range System

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Type 1 Diabetes

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test an insulin management system ("Control-to-Range (CTR) system") in an inpatient setting to see if the system is safe and effective enough to test in a future at-home study. The system includes (1) a DexCom Seven Plus Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device that measures the blood sugar, (2) a laptop computer that determines how much insulin is needed, and (3) an Insulet OmniPod insulin pump that delivers the insulin. The study will include two hospital stays consisting of meals and exercise scenarios. Both hospital stays will be for 24+ hours during the day and night. The study will include about 50 individuals at 7 clinical centers in the United States, France, Israel, and Italy.

Who can join

Age: 12 and older, up to 65. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least one year and using an insulin pump for at least 6 months The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is based on the investigator's judgment; C peptide level and antibody determinations are not needed.
• Age 12 to 65 years
• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) between 5.0% and 10.5%, as measured with DCA2000 or equivalent device
• For females, not currently known to be pregnant
• Demonstration of proper mental status and cognition for the study
• An understanding of and willingness to follow the protocol and sign the informed consent or assent

You may not qualify if…

• Diabetic ketoacidosis in the past 6 months
• Severe hypoglycemia resulting in seizure or loss of consciousness in the 12 months prior to enrollment
• History of a seizure disorder (except hypoglycemic seizure). Subjects with a history of seizures may be included in the study if they receive written clearance from their neurologist treatment for a seizure disorder
• Coronary artery disease or heart failure. Subjects with a history of coronary artery disease may be included in the study if they receive written clearance from their cardiologist
• Cystic fibrosis
• Active infection
• A known medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator might interfere with the completion of the protocol such as the following examples:
• Inpatient psychiatric treatment in the past 6 months for either the subject or the subject's primary care giver (i.e., parent or guardian)
• Presence of a known adrenal disorder
• Abnormal liver or renal function (Transaminase >2 times the upper limit of normal, Creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL)
• Active gastroparesis
• If on antihypertensive, thyroid, anti-depressant or lipid lowering medication, lack of stability on the medication for the past 2 months prior to enrollment in the study
• Uncontrolled thyroid disease
• Abuse of alcohol Note: Adequately treated thyroid disease and celiac disease do not exclude subjects from enrollment
• A recent injury to body or limb, muscular disorder, use of any medication, any carcinogenic disease, or other significant medical disorder if that injury, medication or disease in the judgment of the investigator will affect the completion of the exercise protocol
• Current use of a beta blocker medication
• Hematocrit <30% (labs drawn at screening visit or within one month prior to screening for other purposes will suffice for enrollment purposes related to hematocrit)
• Use of pseudoephedrine 48 hours prior to Clinical Research Center (CRC) admission
