NCT02105324

Brief Summary

This study will test the hypothesis that a wearable automated bionic pancreas system that automatically delivers both insulin and glucagon can improve glycemic control vs. usual care for young people with type 1 diabetes ages 6-11 years old in a diabetes camp environment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Mean Continuous Glucose Monitoring Glucose (CGMG) Values During Days 2 to 5

    Glucose reading were taken every 5 minutes by the CGM. The CGM glucose results during Days 2 through 5 were averaged.

    Days 2 to 5 of each period

  • Percentage of Time Spent With CGMG Concentration < 60 mg/dL During Days 2 to 5

    Glucose reading were taken every 5 minutes by the CGM. The percentage of time that the glucose concentration was less than 60 mg/dL \[3.3 millimoles/liter (mmol/L)\] during Days 2 through 5 was calculated.

    Days 2 to 5 of each period

Secondary Outcomes (38)

  • Mean CGMG Values

    Day 1 and Days 1-5 in each period

  • Percentage of Time With CGMG Concentration by Ranges During Day 1

    Day 1 of each period

  • Percentage of Time With CGMG Concentration by Ranges During Days 1 to 5

    Days 1 to 5 of each period

  • Percentage of Time With CGMG Concentration by Ranges During Days 2 to 5

    Days 2 to 5 of each period

  • Percentage of Participants With Mean CGMG Glucose <154 mg/dL

    Day 1, Days 1-5, and Days 2-5 of each period

  • +33 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Bionic Pancreas

EXPERIMENTAL

Bionic Pancreas diabetes management, a wearable bionic pancreas system that automatically delivers insulin and glucagon using a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device, for 5 days.

Device: Bionic Pancreas

Usual Care

EXPERIMENTAL

Usual Care diabetes management in a diabetes camp environment including a nurse or nursing student assigned to each cabin and review and adjustment of the insulin regimen daily by a physician or nurse practitioner, all participants using the participant's own insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor if they use one as part of their usual care, for 5 days.

Other: Usual Care

Interventions

Automated blood glucose control via a closed-loop bionic pancreas device.

Also known as: Boston University Bionic Pancreas
Bionic Pancreas

As a comparator control, usual diabetes camp care with the participant's own insulin pump.

Usual Care

Eligibility Criteria

Age6 Years - 11 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 6-11 years with type 1 diabetes for at least one year
  • Diabetes managed using an insulin infusion pump for ≥ three months
  • Willing to wear two infusion sets and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor and change sets frequently (at least one new glucagon infusion set daily)

You may not qualify if:

  • Unable to provide informed consent, informed assent or parental consent
  • Unable to comply with study procedures
  • 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 subject
  • End stage renal disease on dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis)
  • Pregnancy (positive urine human chorionic gonadotropin \[HCG\])
  • History of liver disease that is expected to interfere with the anti-hypoglycemia action of glucagon (e.g. liver failure or cirrhosis). Other liver disease (i.e. active hepatitis, steatosis, active biliary disease, any tumor of the liver, hemochromatosis, glycogen storage disease) may exclude the subject if it causes significant compromise to liver function or may do so in an unpredictable fashion
  • Personal history of cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, or other pancreatic disease, including pancreatic tumor or insulinoma
  • History of prolonged QT or arrhythmia, congenital heart disease or current known cardiac disease
  • Acute illness (other than non-vomiting viral illness) or exacerbation of chronic illness other than type 1 diabetes (T1D) at the time of the study
  • Seizure disorder, history of any seizure within the last two years, or ongoing treatment with anticonvulsants
  • Untreated or inadequately treated mental illness (indicators would include symptoms such as psychosis, hallucinations, mania, and any psychiatric hospitalization in the last year), or treatment with second generation anti-psychotic medications, which are known to affect glucose regulation.
  • Electrically powered implants (e.g. cochlear implants, neurostimulators) that might be susceptible to radio-frequency (RF) interference
  • Use of oral (e.g. thiazolidinediones, biguanides, sulfonylureas, glitinides, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors) anti-diabetic medications
  • History of adverse reaction to glucagon (including allergy) besides nausea and vomiting.
  • Unwilling or unable to completely avoid acetaminophen during the comparator and bionic pancreas arms of the study
  • +3 more criteria
