Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, single-center, randomized crossover study evaluating the performance of a closed-loop insulin delivery system using a subcutaneous glucose sensor and an external insulin pump and comparing it to an open-loop delivery system during aerobic exercise. Subject participation will be for a maximum of 16 weeks including an outpatient study (up to 6 days) and two inpatient studies (one closed-loop; the other open-loop). The closed- and open-loop visit consists of approximately 67 hours over 4 days and 3 nights.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Plasma Glucose (PG) Response to Exercise
Time Frame: Begins at start of exercise, at or after 15:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at start of the subsequent meal. Median period: 121 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 93 to 133 min.
PG at start of exercise minus the subsequent PG nadir
Begins at start of exercise, at or after 15:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at start of the subsequent meal. Median period: 121 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 93 to 133 min.
Incidence of Hypoglycemia Immediately Following Exercise
Time Frame: Begins at end of exercise, at or after 16:15 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at 22:00 of same day. Median period: 333 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 28 min, range: 262 to 344 min.
Tally of episodes where either plasma glucose (PG) < 60 mg/dL, or supplemental glucose was administered to prevent imminent PG < 60 mg/dL. Maximum tally of hypoglycemic events within any 30 minute period is 1.
Begins at end of exercise, at or after 16:15 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at 22:00 of same day. Median period: 333 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 28 min, range: 262 to 344 min.
Incidence of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia Following Exercise
Time Frame: Begins at 22:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at 6:00 of the subsequent day. Period was 480 minutes (min) for all subjects, both study phases.
Tally of episodes where either plasma glucose (PG) < 60 mg/dL, or supplemental glucose was administered to prevent imminent PG < 60 mg/dL. Maximum tally of hypoglycemic events within any 30 minute period is 1.
Begins at 22:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at 6:00 of the subsequent day. Period was 480 minutes (min) for all subjects, both study phases.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peak Post-prandial Plasma Glucose (PG)
Time Frame: Union of 6 meal periods (3 per day on study days 2 & 3). A meal period runs from meal start to start of next meal, or 22:00 for 3rd meal of the day. Union of 6 periods median: 1666 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 1638 to 1680 min.
For each subject and study phase, the six peak PG following each of the six meals were determined. The median of these six peaks became the one peak post-prandial PG value representing each subject and study phase.
Union of 6 meal periods (3 per day on study days 2 & 3). A meal period runs from meal start to start of next meal, or 22:00 for 3rd meal of the day. Union of 6 periods median: 1666 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 1638 to 1680 min.
Nadir Plasma Glucose (PG) Immediately Following Exercise
Time Frame: Begins at start of exercise, at or after 15:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at start of the subsequent meal. Median period: 121 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 93 to 133 min.
The PG nadir observed following the start of exercise
Begins at start of exercise, at or after 15:00 on the in-patient visit day randomly assigned each subject for exercise; ends at start of the subsequent meal. Median period: 121 minutes (min), interquartile range (IQR): 15 min, range: 93 to 133 min.
Overnight Nadir Plasma Glucose (PG)
Time Frame: Union of the two 8-hour overnight periods beginning at 22:00 on in-patient visit days 2 & 3, ending at 6:00 on the subsequent day. The union of the two periods was 960 minutes (min) for all subjects, both study phases.
For each subject and study phase, the overnight nadir PG for each of two nights were determined. The mean of these two nadirs became the one nadir overnight PG value representing each subject and study phase.
Union of the two 8-hour overnight periods beginning at 22:00 on in-patient visit days 2 & 3, ending at 6:00 on the subsequent day. The union of the two periods was 960 minutes (min) for all subjects, both study phases.
