Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Hybrid Closed-Loop Insulin System During Chemo with Steroid and Asparaginase

Arm Description

Subjects will receive insulin via hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system during the chemotherapy phases that contains steroid and asparaginase. This treatment will be initiated within 4 days of starting induction chemotherapy treatment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

CGM Time in hypoglycemia (blood glucose < 70 mg/dL)
The primary outcome measures for this study will be the safety of HCL insulin delivery by hypoglycemia exposure. One of the primary endpoints is CGM Time in hypoglycemia (defined as blood glucose < 70 mg/dL).
Number of episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia
The primary outcome measures for this study will be the safety of HCL insulin delivery by hypoglycemia exposure. One of the primary endpoints is the number of episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia. At each study visit, subjects will be asked about symptoms, such as shakiness, dizziness, blurred/impaired vision, sweating, pallor, clumsiness, difficulty paying attention, tingling around the lips, tongue or cheeks, change in mental status, or seizure.
Rate of infection at the CGM insertion site
Rate of infection at the CGM insertion site, measured in occurrences per patient-day.
Rate of bleeding at the CGM insertion site
Rate of bleeding at the CGM insertion site, measured in occurrence per patient-day.
Rate of infection at the HCL insulin infusion site
Rate of infection at the HCL insulin infusion site, measured in occurrence per patient-day.
Rate of bleeding at the HCL insulin infusion site
Rate of bleeding at the HCL insulin infusion site, measured in occurrence per patient-day.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Efficacy of glycemic control with HCL insulin delivery assessed by Time in Ranges (TIR)
Time in Ranges (TIRs) refers to percent of the time spent in a specific range of blood glucose levels, adding valuable information to assess the level of glycemic control. Usually a range of 70-180 mg/dL is used, but occasionally a more stringent 70-140 mg/dL is used. In this study, we will obtain %CGM TIRs in both ranges.
Efficacy of glycemic control with HCL insulin delivery assessed by mean sensor glucose level
Mean glucose level will be obtained from CGM data to evaluate for glycemic variability
Rate of infection in episodes per patient-days
Rate of infection, length of hospitalization, length of PICU admission, rate of remission at the end of induction, and need for re-admission will be obtained as a part of clinical outcomes. These outcomes will be compared to a historical control group to investigate the effect size of relationships between glycemic control and clinical outcome. This exploratory aim will investigate correlations between glycemic control and outcomes to determine effect sizes for future studies and grant proposals.
Length of hospitalization in days per patient
Rate of infection, length of hospitalization, length of PICU admission, rate of remission at the end of induction, and need for re-admission will be obtained as a part of clinical outcomes. These outcomes will be compared to a historical control group to investigate the effect size of relationships between glycemic control and clinical outcome. This exploratory aim will investigate correlations between glycemic control and outcomes to determine effect sizes for future studies and grant proposals.

Rate of infection, length of hospitalization, length of PICU admission, rate of remission at the end of induction, and need for re-admission will be obtained as a part of clinical outcomes. These outcomes will be compared to a historical control group to investigate the effect size of relationships between glycemic control and clinical outcome. This exploratory aim will investigate correlations between glycemic control and outcomes to determine effect sizes for future studies and grant proposals.
Need for readmission during the induction phase in percent
Rate of infection, length of hospitalization, length of PICU admission, rate of remission at the end of induction, and need for re-admission will be obtained as a part of clinical outcomes. These outcomes will be compared to a historical control group to investigate the effect size of relationships between glycemic control and clinical outcome. This exploratory aim will investigate correlations between glycemic control and outcomes to determine effect sizes for future studies and grant proposals.

Brief Summary
The overall objective of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility of a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system for children and young adults with high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, during the induction chemotherapy phase while they are exposed to steroids and asparaginase that cause hyperglycemia.
Detailed Description
The overall objective of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility of a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system for children and young adults with high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, during the induction chemotherapy phase while they are exposed to steroids and asparaginase that cause hyperglycemia. Insulin therapy would be beneficial in reducing hyperglycemia-associated complications in this period and thereby could improve other outcomes. The primary objective of the current pilot proposal is to demonstrate that hybrid closed loop pump therapy is a safe to be used in children and young adults with high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. If successful, the results of this study will be used to plan and support a larger, multi-center clinical trial and a grant proposal.

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Hybrid Closed Loop System
Other Intervention Name(s)
Tandem Control-IQ Professional Hybrid Closed Loop system
Intervention Description
Participants will utilize the Tandem Control-IQ Professional Hybrid Closed Loop artificial pancreas system [25, 26]. This device consists of the Dexcom G6 Continuous glucose monitor (or a more recent interoperable CGM), the Tandem t:slim X2 continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump, and the Control-IQ professional hybrid closed loop control algorithm. The CGM is generally replaced by parents or patients and then replaced after sensor expiration or if it falls off. This CGM, like all future iCGMs, is factory calibrated and approved for direct dosing of insulin. In addition, while the system is in use, patients will conduct blood glucose level checks at least four times a day with a fingerstick and calibrate the CGM if the measurements differ by more than 20 mg/dL of fingerstick blood glucose level. The t:slim X2 insulin pump delivers rapid acting insulin via a subcutaneous cannula which is placed by parents or patients and then replaced every 3 days [30].
