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 and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Users of the Monitoring System
Untrained subjects with diabetes used the NINJA 3 Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Device: NINJA 3 Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System
Untrained subjects with diabetes self-tested capillary fingerstick and palm blood using the NINJA 3 Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Study staff tested subject fingerstick blood. All BG results were compared to reference method results obtained from subject capillary plasma.

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
Number of Self-Test Fingerstick Blood Glucose (BG) Results Within +/-15mg/dL (<75mg/dL) or Within +/-20% (>=75mg/dL) of Laboratory Glucose Method
Time Frame: 1 hour
Untrained subjects with diabetes self-tested fingerstick blood using an investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS). BGMS results were compared with subject capillary plasma BG results obtained with a Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) Analyzer. YSI Analyzer BG results were used to calculate the number of BGMS results within +/- 15mg/dL (<75mg/dL YSI capillary plasma) or +/- 20% (>=75mg/dL YSI capillary plasma).

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 Self-Test Fingerstick Blood Glucose (BG)Results Within +/- 15mg/dL (<100mg/L YSI) or Within +/- 15% (>=100mg/dL YSI) of Laboratory Glucose Method
Time Frame: 1 hour

Number of Subject Fingerstick BG Results Within +/- 15mg/dL (<75mg/L YSI) or Within +/- 20% (>=75mg/dL YSI) of Laboratory Glucose Method When Tested by Study Staff
Time Frame: 1 hour
Study staff tested subject fingerstick blood using an investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS). BGMS results were compared with capillary plasma BG results obtained with a Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) Analyzer.
