Remote Continues Glucose Monitoring During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Quarantined Hospitalized Patients (CGM-ISO)

April 4, 2024 updated by: Nordsjaellands Hospital

Remote Glucose Monitoring of Patients With Diabetes Quarantined During the COVID-19 Pandemic - a Hospital-Based Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effect of Remote Continuous Glucose Monitoring Compared to Usual Glucose Monitoring

This is a randomized controlled trial of isolated patients with diabetes admitted to Nordsjællands Hospital with or without COVID-19-pneumonia. A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) based system with transmission of glucose data to a central system is used for remote monitoring of glucose levels and compared to standard finger-prick glucose. Blinded (to patients) CGM is mounted in the finger-prick group.

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

Epidemics and pandemics are a constant threat to health care systems globally. This stresses the importance of preparedness for a large amount of hospitalized quarantined patients in isolation, with the extra challenges it brings. The COVID-19 pandemic challenges the Danish health care system in many aspects: An increased number of citizens are expected to be admitted to hospital due to COVID-19 infected pneumonia and this will demand extra workforce resources, extra use of protective equipment (gowns, masks, gloves, etc) and extra time used for taking protective equipment on and off. In concert these extra demands will drain the health care system and any initiative to reduce these challenges is needed.

In this randomized controlled trial, isolated patients with diabetes will be randomized to either standard care fingerprick glucose + blinded CGM or Dexcom G6 only.

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

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 infection by real-time PCR or another validated method OR hospitalized with a non-COVID-19 diagnosis AND in isolation at time of inclusion.
  2. A documented clinically relevant history of diabetes or newly discovered during hospitalization.
  3. Written informed consent obtained before any trial related procedures are performed.
  4. Male or female aged over 18 years of age.
  5. Must be able to communicate with the study personnel.

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.
Other: Fingerprick glucose
Standard care with fingerprick glucose + blinded CGM stratification on COVID-19 status
Device: Dexcom G6

The investigational device is a CGM Dexcom G6. The Dexcom G6 System is intended to replace fingerstick blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions. The device-system consists of a sensor, the Dexcom G6 device/sender, and connects to a smart device like a cellphone. The Dexcom G6 CGM system is probably the most precise system on the market and with no need for daily calibration with finger prick glucose. The Dexcom G6 sensor can last for 10 days without calibration and is approved for diabetes treatment decision making. Dexcom G6 has been extensively tested and is safe and approved even for pregnant women.

The CE Marking confirms that the G6 system meets the Essential Requirements of the Medical Device Directive MDD 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC.
Experimental: Open continous glucose monitoring (CGM)
Standard care with fingerprick glucose + un-blinded CGM stratification on COVID-19 status
