Comparison of an Artificial Pancreas Versus Threshold Low Glucose Suspend in Type 1 Diabetic Children (SHAN)

June 12, 2018 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Assessment of the Efficacy on the Reduction of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia in Children With Type 1 Diabetes of a Closed-loop Insulin Therapy (Artificial Pancreas) Compared to Insulin Pump Therapy Combined With Continuous Glucose Monitoring With Threshold Low Glucose Suspend of Infusion in Home-like Conditions

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of an Artificial Pancreas system which includes a Control-To-Range algorithm, versus standard Insulin Pump Therapy with Threshold Low glucose Suspend feature. 24 Children aged from 7 to 12 will be recruted in 4 clinical centres. After a 2 week run-in period, they will attend two investigational sessions of 65 hours in home-like settings. During each session, the CTR algorithm or the TLGS feature will be activated, depending on the randomization. The main endpoint is the time spent below 70mg/dL between 22:00 and 07:00.

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

The study is an open randomized control trial preceded by a run-in period and follows a cross-over design.After inclusion, the therapy will be moved to sensor augmented pump therapy with a dedicated training to continuous glucose monitoring using study system (study CGM). During 2 to 3 weeks, the patient will use his/her usual insulin pump and the study CGM (run-in period). At the end of this period, the patient and the relative will be admitted in a parents'house or hotel/resort nearby the hospital for 65 hours to undergo the first interventional session. Admission will be at 17:00 Day 1. The investigator will connect wirelessly the study pump and CGM to the study platform DiAs and remote monitoring will be activated. Until 08:00 Day 2, insulin delivery will be managed in open-loop mode, i.e. insulin doses will be decided according to capillary glucose measurements. From 08:00 Day 2, one algorithm will be activated according to the randomization order, i.e. either the threshold low glucose suspend (TLGS) algorithm (threshold will be set at 70 mg/dl) or the closed-loop algorithm. Insulin delivery will then be managed in open-loop mode with activated TLGS or by the closed-loop algorithm until 08:00 Day 4. In both cases, meals will be of free content and taken around 09:00, 13:00, 17:00 and 20:00. Meal insulin doses will be managed according to pre-meal glucose level and CHO meal content in open-loop mode with TLGS, or according to DiAs bolus calculator suggestion in closed-loop mode. Patient and relative will be encouraged to move in parents'house or hotel/resort and surroundings between meals. The algorithm will be inactivated at 08:00 Day 4. The study pump will be removed and replaced by patient's usual pump. The patient and the relative will be released at 10:00 after breakfast. Study CGM will still be used at home for 2 to 4 weeks until the second interventional session. This session will be similar to the first one but the alternative algorithm will be activated. Patient will come back to pre-study insulin therapy from 08:00 Day 4 and be released at 10:00 when second session is completed.

Phase

Phase
