The Insulin-Only Bionic Pancreas Bridging Study- Pediatric Transitional Study
The iLet is a closed-loop delivery system that can be used in insulin-only, bihormonal, or glucagon-only configurations. Previous studies have utilized a phone-based bionic pancreas. The iLet consists of a touchscreen-enabled, menu-driven user interface and an onboard microprocessor that provides a comprehensive and standalone platform, which allows the iLet to operate independently of smartphones or other devices and without the need for internet support during routine operation.
This is a multicenter study of pediatric participants with type 1 diabetes, who will manage their diabetes with the iLet bionic pancreas compared to usual care.

Detailed Description
20 pediatric participants from three clinical sites (Colorado, Nemours, and Stanford) will take part in the Pediatric Transitional Study Session to assess the efficacy, safety, and reliability of the insulin-only configuration of the bionic pancreas in regulating glycemia in pediatric subjects in a more supervised setting prior to beginning the true outpatient study. The Pediatric Transitional Study Session will consist of a multi-center, two-period, random-order, cross-over, pilot study in 20 pediatric participants 6-17 years old with T1D (~ 6 adolescent participants at Colorado 12-17 years old, ~ 6 pre-adolescent participants at Nemours 6-11 years old, and ~ 8 pediatrics subjects at Stanford 6-17 years old). Insulin therapy for each participant will be administered (i) in one period using the iLet in the insulin-only configuration with the iLet pigtail adapter and the iLet ready-to-fill insulin cartridge, the Contact Detach infusion set, the Dexcom G5 CGM, and the insulin analog that they use for their usual care (either Humalog or Novolog), and (ii) in the other period using the participant's own usual care (UC), where each participant will wear a Dexcom G5 CGM. Both experimental periods will be followed by round-the-clock, remote, telemetric monitoring for hyperglycemia (> 300 mg/dl for ≥ 90 minutes) and hypoglycemia (< 50 mg/dl for ≥ 15 minutes). The two experimental periods will each span 5 days, including 4 nights (e.g. Monday-Friday). A washout period of ~ 3 days in duration will separate the two experimental periods of the Pediatric Transitional Study Session.
Both study periods will be conducted in the same clinically supervised setting during each of the 5 days and at home under parental supervision or other overnight companion who is available to serve as an emergency contact during each of the 4 nights. Parents/guardians must be present (i.e. in the house or building) while the participant is home and sleeping and will serve as the contact person for overnight alerts. During the daytime in the Pediatric Transitional Study Session, participants of each cohort will be with the clinical study staff at each of the three clinical sites and will engage in common activities such that meals and activities can be well-characterized and supervised. For further quantification of stress due to exercise, activity monitors will be worn by all of the participants in both periods of the study. In terms of physical activity, diet, and remote monitoring for hypo- and hyperglycemia, parity will be maintained between both study periods.
All 20 pediatric participants in the Pediatric Transitional Study Session will use insulin pump therapy for their usual diabetes management. The Dexcom G5 CGM will serve as the input CGM to the iLet for all 20 pediatric participants. The cohort of 6 adolescent participants at Colorado and 6 pre-adolescent participants at Nemours, and 8 participants at Stanford might overlap or might not overlap in time.

Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least one year and using insulin for at least 1 year
- Diabetes managed using an insulin pump for ≥ 3 months
- Age 6-17 years
HbA1c level <11.0%
• A point of care or local lab measurement is used to assess eligibility for screening.
- At least 3 SMBG meter tests daily on average or use of a CGM and 2 or more SMBG meter tests daily on average by history
For females, not currently known to be pregnant
• If female, sexually active, and at risk for pregnancy, must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception to prevent pregnancy while a participant in the study. A negative urine pregnancy test will be required for all women who are post-menarche and pre-menopause who are not surgically sterile. Participants who become pregnant will be discontinued from the study.
- An understanding of and willingness to follow the protocol and sign the informed consent and assent where applicable
Exclusion Criteria:
-The presence of any of the following is an exclusion for the study:
- Unable to provide informed consent (e.g. impaired cognition or judgment)
- Unable to safely comply with study procedures and reporting requirements (e.g. impairment of vision or dexterity that prevents safe operation of the BP, impaired memory)
- Unable to speak and read English
- Currently using for the first time a real-time CGM for < 1 month (Individuals who have been using CGM for 1 or more months are eligible)
- Current use of non-FDA approved closed-loop or hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system
- Current use of insulin glulisine (Apidra) as part of usual diabetes home regimen
- Current off-label use of faster-acting insulin aspart (Fiasp) in CSII therapy as part of usual diabetes home regimen
- Current participation in another diabetes-related clinical trial that, in the judgment of the principal investigator, will compromise the results of this study or the safety of the participant
- Pregnant (positive urine HCG), breast feeding, plan to become pregnant in the next 12 months, or sexually active and at risk for pregnancy without use of contraception
- Current alcohol abuse (intake averaging >4 drinks daily in last 30 days) or other substance abuse (use within the last 3 months of controlled substances other than marijuana without a prescription)
- Unwilling or unable or to avoid use of drugs that may dull the sensorium, reduce sensitivity to symptoms of hypoglycemia, or hinder decision making during the period of participation in the study (use of benzodiazepines or narcotics, even if by prescription, may be excluded according to the judgment of the principal investigator)
- Stage 4 renal failure (eGFR <30) or Stage 5 renal failure on dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis)

Abnormal EKG consistent with increased risk of malignant arrhythmia including, but not limited to, evidence of active ischemia, proximal LAD critical stenosis (Wellen's sign), or prolonged QT interval (> 440 ms). Other EKG findings, including stable Q waves, are not grounds for exclusion as long as the participant is not excluded according to other criteria.

- History of more than 1 episode of DKA requiring hospitalization in the last 2 years
- History of more than 1 episode of severe hypoglycemia in the last year.

- If using GLP1, pramlintide, or metformin must be on a stable dose for 3 months prior to enrollment (these agents should not be initiated during the trial)
- Required use of 2 or more steroid bursts in the 6 months prior to the trial
- History of intentional, inappropriate administration of insulin leading to severe hypoglycemia requiring treatment
