Short Term Closed-loop Glucose Control in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

Summary

The main objective of this study is to determine the feasibility, efficacy and safety of automated closed-loop glucose control in the home setting over a short term period. The data and experienced gained from this study will be utilised in planning future home studies. This is an open-label, three centre, randomised, crossover design, involving two, 8 day (first day in the clinical research facility and seven days at home) study periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by an automated closed-loop system or by subjects usual insulin pump therapy in random order. A total of up to 24 adults (aiming for 18 completed subjects) aged 18 years and older with T1D on insulin pump therapy will be recruited through diabetes clinics and other established methods in participating centres. Subjects will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed-loop insulin delivery system. During the 24 hour in-patient stay subjects will be encouraged to mimic their usual day and will be allowed to walk inside hospital premises. Subjects will be advised to discontinue automated closed-loop insulin delivery and follow their usual insulin pump therapy for periods of strenuous exercise during the 7 day home study phase. The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L as recorded by CGM (adjusted for potential over-estimation) during home stay. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics, and for the stay at the clinical research facility, time spent in the target range, above and below the target range as measured by plasma glucose.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	FlorenceD or similar closed loop glucose control system	Subject's glucose level will be controlled by the FlorenceD or similar automated closed loop glucose control system. The system comprises of FreeStyle Navigator® Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System (Abbott Diabetes Care, Alameda, CA, USA), Dana R Diabecare subcutaneous insulin infusion pump (Sooil Corp. Seoul, South Korea)or similar insulin pump, and MPC-based glucose control algorithm running on a portable computer.
DEVICE	CSII with real-time CGM	Subject glucose level controlled by usual insulin pump therapy in conjunction with real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
