NCT04016662

Brief Summary

A multi-center, randomized, crossover trial consisting of three sequential 12-week periods, with the HCL feature used during one period, the PLGS feature used during one period and SAP therapy (control) during one period. The crossover trial will be preceded by a run-in phase in which participants will receive training using the study devices (Dexcom G6 and Tandem t:slim X2 pump). After the last crossover period, participants will be given the opportunity to use study devices for an additional 12 weeks to assess preference of system use (PLGS, HCL or SAP) and associated characteristics, durability and safety in a more real-world setting with less frequent study contact.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • CGM Measured Time <70 mg/dL

    Primary Outcome: Percentage of sensor glucose values \<70 mg/dL. The first 4 weeks of CGM data in each period were excluded to reduce the chance of a carryover effect. A minimum of 168 hours of data was required to calculate CGM metrics. Since the hypoglycemia endpoints had skewed distributions, values were winsorized at the 10th and 90th percentiles.

    weeks 5-12 of 12 weeks for each intervention of the crossover

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • CGM Measured Time <54 mg/dL

    weeks 5-12 of 12 weeks for each intervention of the crossover

  • Hypoglycemia

    weeks 5-12 of 12 weeks for each arm of the crossover

  • Glucose Control

    weeks 5-12 of 12 weeks for each arm of the crossover

  • % Time 70-180 mg/dL

    weeks 5-12 of 12 weeks for each intervention of the crossover

  • Glucose Control - Coefficient of Variation

    weeks 5-12 of 12 weeks for each arm of the crossover

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (5)

  • Patient Reported Questionnaires - Hypoglycemia Fear Survey

    at 12 week visit for each arm of the crossover

  • Patient Reported Questionnaires - Hypoglycemia Confidence

    at 12 week visit for each arm of the crossover

  • Patient Reported Questionnaires - Diabetes Distress Scale

    at 12 week visit for each arm of the crossover

  • +2 more other outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Hybrid Closed Loop Control (HCL)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The HCL intervention arm will utilize the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and Dexcom G6 CGM

Device: Tandem t:slim X2 with HCL or PLGS

Predictive Low-Glucose Insulin Suspension (PLGS)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The PLGS intervention arm will utilize the Tandem t:slim X2 with Basal-IQ Technology and Dexcom G6 CGM

Device: Tandem t:slim X2 with HCL or PLGS

Sensor-Augmented Pump (SAP)

NO INTERVENTION

The SAP arm will utilize the Tandem t:slim X2 without HCL or PLGS features turned on and Dexcom G6 CGM

Interventions

The system components include the t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and the Dexcom CGM G6. The modular control algorithm has a safety supervision module that limits insulin delivery to prevent hypoglycemia at all times. The algorithm gradually decreases hyperglycemia from bedtime to reach a target of 120 mg/dL by waking time. During awake hours, the control algorithm attempts to maintain glucose within a target range (112.5 to 160 mg/dL) with meal time insulin boluses delivered based on usual bolus procedures undertaken by patients on an insulin pump (Hybrid closed loop). The system components include the t:slim X2 with with Basal-IQ Technology and the Dexcom CGM G6. The PLGS System is able to stop and resume basal insulin delivery automatically in response to predicted or low sensor glucose values, thereby reducing the incidence and duration of hypoglycemic episodes. The pump includes the hypoglycemia minimization strategy that will issue insulin delivery commands.

  • Willingness to use a rapid acting insulin compatible with the Tandem t:slim X2 pump (currently aspart and lispro; other rapid acting insulins likely to be approved for pump use prior to study initiation such as Fiasp)
  • Familiarity with and willingness to use a carbohydrate ratio for meal boluses
  • Willing to use study devices and automated insulin delivery features
  • Ability to download study devices at home or if not able to download at home willing to come into clinic to bring devices for download of data at visits and as needed for safety

  • Participant comprehends written and spoken English
  • At least 240 hours of CGM readings available during the end of run-in assessment
  • At least 1.5% of time with CGM glucose levels \< 70 mg/dL prior to SAP initiation

You may not qualify if:

  • Use of PLGS technology or HCL insulin delivery in the past 1 month
  • History of 1 or more Diabetic Ketoacidosis episodes in the previous 6 months
  • A condition, which in the opinion of the investigator or designee, would put the participant or study at risk, including severe vision or hearing impairment and any contraindication to the use of any of the study devices per FDA labeling
  • Known adhesive allergy or skin reaction during the run-in pre-randomization phase or previous difficulty with pump and CGM insertions that would preclude participation in the randomized trial
  • Concurrent use of any non-insulin glucose-lowering agent other than metformin (including GLP-1 agonists, Symlin, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, sulfonylureas)
  • Stage 4 or 5 renal disease
  • The presence of a significant medical or psychiatric condition or use of a medication that in the judgment of the investigator may affect completion of any aspect of the protocol, or is likely to be associated with life expectancy of \<1 year
