December 8, 2017 updated by: Michael Hauschild, University of Lausanne Hospitals

Accuracy, Satisfaction and Usability of a Flash Glucose Monitoring System Among Children and Adolescents Attending a Diabetes Camp

The aim of this study was to assess accuracy, satisfaction and usability of the FGM among children and adolescents with T1DM. The primary outcome was to assess the accuracy of the FGM system. Secondary outcomes included satisfaction and usability of the device as well as assessment of sensor-related issues.

Study Overview

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

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy, satisfaction and usability of a Flash Glucose Monitoring system (FGM) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and attending a 1-week diabetes summer camp, supervised by a multidisciplinary team of health care providers. The camp comprised a structured daily routine with five fixed meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and evening snack. Capillary blood glucose (BG) values were measured in parallel with unmasked Flash Glucose measurements (FGM) using the FGM reader's built-in glucometer at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Additional measurements were taken before snacks, between the meals or overnight and BG was measured only in cases of low (<4.0 mmol/L) or high (>15.0 mmol/L) FGM values or when symptoms were discordant with sensor readings. Sensor-related issues were documented and a questionnaire assessing satisfaction and usability of the FGM was completed by patients and caregivers at study completion.

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.
Observational

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.
70

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

6 years to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Children and adolescents, aged 6-18 years old, with type 1 diabetes mellitus, participating at the diabetes summer camp.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus, children and adolescents participating at the diabetes summer camp.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Acute health condition (infectious disease), known allergy to medical adhesives or with a skin condition (e.g. atopic dermatitis)).

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
FGM accuracy
Time Frame: through study completion, 1 week
Accuracy of FGM values versus reference blood glucose values (Consensus Error Grid (CEG) analysis and calculation of the Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD))
through study completion, 1 week

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
Participants satisfaction with the FGM system

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
July 2, 2016

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
July 30, 2016

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
