Use of the FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System to Enhance Education and Glycaemic Control

June 21, 2013 updated by: Abbott Diabetes Care
To demonstrate that in patients with persistent poorly controlled diabetes, short/intermittent use of continuous glucose monitoring can driver better longer-term glycaemic control and HbA1c.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Study Overview This is a multi-centre pilot study across 6 study sites, recruiting 50 subjects. Each subject will use a FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitor for a period of 20 days at the start of the study, after which their Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) may recommend changes to their glucose management based on the continuous glucose monitoring(CGM) data. Subjects will then return to self-managing their diabetes with a blood glucose meter. After 2 months, subjects will use the FreeStyle Navigator for a further 5 days and review their results and glucose management with their HCPs. Subjects will again return to self-managing their diabetes with a blood glucose meter until the end of the study, when the last FreeStyle Navigator 5 day wear is completed and HbA1c and measures of glycaemic variability are recorded.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
32

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Change in HbA1C From Baseline to 6 Months
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months
HbA1c at baseline HbA1c at 6 months Change in HbA1c(%)(6 months - baseline)
Baseline and 6 months

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
Number of Subjects Who Had Reduction in HbA1c of > or = 0.5%
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months
Number of subjects with a HbA1c reduction greater than or equal to 0.5% and 95% confidence interval from visit 1 (baseline) to visit 7 (6 months).
Baseline and 6 months
Proportion of Time in Hypoglycaemia (<3.9 mmol/L)- Masked
Time Frame: Baseline & 6 months
Proportion of time (hours per day) in hypoglycaemia (<3.9 mmol/L) for the masked phase. There were two masked phases in the study, one 5 day wear at baseline and one 5 day wear at 6 months. During masked wear subject were not able to see continuous glucose data from the device.
Baseline & 6 months
Proportion of Time in Hypoglycaemia (<3.9mmol/L)-Unmasked
Time Frame: 2 weeks following baseline & 3 months
Proportion of time (hours per day) in hypoglycaemia (<3.9mmol/L) for the unmasked phase
