Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Background and Aim. The new and advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system MiniMed 780G automatically adjusts basal insulin delivery in addition to automated bolus corrections, based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) readings, to offer protection against both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether a simplified approach for patients' follow up using preset of pump settings and a simplified meal announcement, followed by minimal interaction can achieve similar glycemic control of AHCL system MiniMed 780G with Guardian Sensor 4 than a regular protocol that is currently used in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Methods. This study is Randomized Clinical Trial, two arm, single-center, clinical investigation in subjects with type 1 diabetes on AHCL insulin pump in a period of 3 months. A total of 34 individuals (age 12-18 years) will be enrolled to reach 30 individuals who will complete the 3 months study. Participants will be randomized in two groups: Group 1, Regular Clinical Protocol, 17 participants and Group 2, Simplified Clinical Protocol, 17 participants. All patients will be recruited during the regular clinic visits to the outpatient Endocrine Clinics at Sidra Medicine in Doha. Patients will be chosen on a first-come first-served basis. Inclusion criteria: Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, , Age 12-18 years, Basal Bolus therapy >8.0 units per day. Exclusion criteria: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) in the 6 months prior to screening visit. The initiation protocol consists of four stages: HCL system compatibility assessment, HCL system training, Manual Mode Start and Auto Mode start. Patients will have 7 visits in a period of 3 months after initiation of insulin pump therapy. Pump initiation: Group 1, Finetune ICR, Target 100 or 110 mg/dl and AIT: 2-3 hour and Group 2, Carb Ratio by formula 360 / TDD, ICR 8-10 (TDD 40-60), ICR 5-7 (TDD >60), Target 100 mg/dl, AIT: 2 hours with fixed meals Results. No group difference in Time in Range (TIR) (70-180mg/dl) > 70% and HbA1c < 7.5% in a period of 3 months after initiation of AHCL. Conclusion. Conclusions will be drawn on completion of the study and evaluation of the results.

Telehealth is a delivery format that shows promise, and occupation-based coaching (OBC) is one intervention that can be delivered via telehealth. OBC is a collaborative coaching model with the therapist and the family (caregiver and child) that has been shown to improve positive child-caregiver interactions, caregiver competence with managing child health maintenance tasks, and improve engagement in meaningful everyday tasks (such as health maintenance tasks, self-care, and social participation). The goal of this pilot study is to improve child health outcomes and family quality of life for young children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Specifically, this pilot randomized control trial will provide valuable information about the preliminary effectiveness of occupation-based coaching (OBC) via telehealth to improve the quality of life of families and children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). It is hypothesized that OBC is an effective intervention that can be delivered to T1D families living in rural communities via telehealth methods.

The purpose of this study is to obtain clinical data in Chinese patients to support product registration of the MiniMed™ 670G system with the National Medical Product Administration (NMPA) in China. The results from the study will be submitted to the NMPA for product registration.

A phase 1, randomised, single-centre, double-blind, single-dose, two period balanced cross over study in a glucose clamp setting. The study compares the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and safety characteristics of AT278 and NovoRapid® in male participants with type 1 diabetes.

To investigate the efficacy of remote intervention by medical staff based on a cloud system of continuous glucose monitoring data in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes using flash sensor-based glucose monitoring (FSGM).

This study will is a parallel two-group randomized controlled trial that will use the MiniMed 670G hybrid closed-loop system's continuous glucose monitor (GCM) insulin pump and computer algorithm to deliver insulin when in "auto mode". This study will be conducted in women with type 1 diabetes after delivery of their neonate to see if "auto-mode" improves blood sugar control, episodes of low blood sugar, burden of diabetes self-care, alters baby's weight and feeding patterns, and partner diabetes distress.

A closed-loop insulin system, also referred to as the "artificial pancreas" (AP), is made up of an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor, and an application communicating between the two to adjust insulin administration based on glucose control. This is meant for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The McGill Artificial Pancreas (MAP) has been used previously in type 1 diabetes with significant benefits. Though prior studies have shown significant benefit with this system, some challenges still exist. Empagliflozin is used in type 2 diabetes; it allows for glucose to be removed through the urine. Though its use is not approved in type 1 diabetes in North America, it (along with similar drugs) has been used in studies as adjunctive therapy with insulin with benefits on blood sugar control. The purpose of our study is to see if a small dose of empagliflozin (2.5 mg and 5 mg) is enough to help those who cannot achieve adequate glucose control on a closed-loop insulin system. The primary hypotheses of the study are the following: The use of empagliflozin 2.5 mg daily will increase time in range compared to placebo for those on the closed-loop system. The use of empagliflozin 5 mg daily will increase time in range compared to placebo for those on the closed-loop system.

This is a prospective randomized parallel two group pharmacist-led interventional study. The study will involve introduction of the mobile game to pediatric diabetic patients to improve their blood glucose level. The outcomes to be measured are diabetes control and behavioral change in pediatric patients with type1 diabetes mellitus

It is crucial to understand the social and economic context in which children and youth live; their social determinants of health (SDH). Although this is well recognized, many health care providers do not address SDH because of the lack of easily accessible resources once social needs are identified. Social workers (SW) have the ability to support families once a social need has been identified. However, not every clinic has a SW, and even those that do often struggle to meet the needs of all the families requiring support. The use of social navigators (SN) is an innovative solution for an unmet need. SN models have been successful in primary care settings, but, to date, have not been adapted to address the SDH needs of children and their families receiving care in pediatric specialty care settings. We will implement the first of its kind pediatric SN clinic at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO): "Navigating Social Resources for Children's Health" (NSRCH). Our study will evaluate NSRCH - an innovative, transferable, and low-cost pediatric-specific SN model. Our goal is to support families with SDH needs to access timely, appropriate supports and resources via NSRCH.

Adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes often have a difficult time achieving good glucose control, which is so important in reducing the risk for diabetes complications. Despite the use of multiple daily injections or insulin pumps and glucose sensors, there is still a need for many individuals to further improve glucose levels without causing low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia) or adding to the daily burden of living with diabetes. Today an insulin pump can receive glucose readings from a continuous glucose monitor and adjust the insulin delivery in an attempt to keep glucose levels in a more optimal range. These systems are called hybrid closed loop (HCL). This means that much of the insulin delivery is automated, yet the patient still interacts regularly with the system, particularly to help determine the insulin dose to deliver to cover a meal. Results of early studies using HCL systems in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes are encouraging. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the automated insulin delivery (AID) system with proportional integral-derivative (PID) algorithm (Minimed 670G 3.0 HCL) to an AID system with combined PID and Fuzzy Logic Algorithm (Minimed 670G 4.0 Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop (AHCL)). The trial will test the hypothesis that the Minimed AHCL can reduce daytime hyperglycemia, currently the biggest challenge for AID systems, without increasing hypoglycemia. Up to 124 adolescents and young adults (ages 14-<30) will be recruited to test each system for three months in a randomized crossover trial. Investigators will compare how effective each hybrid closed loop system is at preventing high blood glucose readings during the day. The investigators will also evaluate the safety of each system and how participants adjust to the daily use of the technology.
