Standardized Evaluation of Subcutaneous Glucose Monitoring Systems Under Routine Environmental Conditions

The purpose of this study is to assess accuracy and reliability of the SPIDIMAN continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor system with regard to values as measured by Super GL and compare these results with similar evaluations of the Medtronic MiniMed 640G system, the Abbott FreeStyle Libre Flash Sensor and the DexCom G4 Platinum Sensor in patients with type 1 Diabetes.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

Detailed Description

The study is a single-center open-label study in patients with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy. The study will include a total of 12 subjects.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Glucose Sensor; Continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring using four different CGM systems in parallel will be performed throughout the study. Insulin therapy will be performed by the subjects themselves, as under daily life conditions. For the hypoglycaemia experiment an increased insulin bolus will be administered with meals (180% of the subject's calculated mealtime dose).

Device: Glucose Sensor; The investigational intervention is CGM monitoring using four different CGM systems. Three of the four CGM devices which are used will be CGM systems which have received conformité européenne (CE) certification (Dexcom G4 Platinum, Medtronic MiniMed 640G system, Abbott FreeStyle Libre Flash). The SPIDIMAN sensor will be used for the first time in human subjects, does not yet have received CE certification and will be given an identifying label in addition to being labelled "for investigative use only".

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Test-to-Reference Measurement Pairs With an Absolute Relative Difference (ARD) ≤15%	The primary outcome measure was overall sensor accuracy determined using ISO 15197:2013, which is percentage (%) of sensor values that are within ±0.8 mmol/L of the reference value at glucose concentrations <5.6 mmol/L and within ±15% at glucose concentrations ≥5.6 mmol/L. The sensor values were obtained using three different glucose monitoring systems, i.e. Abbott, Dexcom and Medtronic, in patients with T1D over a 12-hour period in standardized conditions. The reference values were obtained by analysis of venous plasma glucose samples.	36 hours
