Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Postprandial glycemic excursions are major determinants of overall glycemic control in type 1 diabetes. Carbohydrate content of ingested meals is the main determinant of post-meal glucose excursion. Accurate carbohydrate counting is a critical aspect of managing postprandial blood glucose levels. accurate carbohydrate counting is considered by patients as a significant burden and frustrating task. The closed-loop system (CLS) is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of two strategies to regulate glucose levels in outpatient settings in adults with type 1 diabetes: 1) single-hormone CLS with rapid acting insulin analogue combined with carbohydrate counting; 2) single-hormone CLS with rapid acting insulin analogue combined with simplified qualitative meal-size estimation. A sub-study will also be proposed to participants. Postprandial exercise combines two situations complicating CLS operation: a high plasma insulin due to insulin on-board related to meal boluses and rapid blood glucose changes (postprandial blood glucose excursion and then drop during exercise) making input from the glucose sensor less accurate. The objective of this sub-study will be to explore the safety and efficacy of the CLS using the combined strategy of pre-meal exercise announcement and meal bolus reduction of 33% when exercise is performed 1 hour compared to 2 hours post meal time.

The main objective of this open-label, multi-centre, randomised, crossover design study is to determine whether automated day and night closed-loop insulin delivery for 16 weeks under free living conditions is safer and more efficacious compared to sensor augmented insulin pump therapy in older adults with type 1 diabetes. The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L (70 and 180 mg/dl) as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the HbA1c, time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Measures of human factor assessments, cardiac arrhythmias and objective sleep quality assessment will also be evaluated in this study.

Despite recent pharmacological and technological advantages, hypoglycemia remains to be the key limiting factor in achieving optimal glycemic control in people with type 1 diabetes. State-of-the-art treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin in pens or pumps that focus on reducing hyperglycemia after relative insulin deficiency e.g. after food intake. In recent years, we focused on adding low-dose glucagon to insulin therapies for the treatment and prevention of hypoglycemia - referred to as "dual-hormone treatment". We have shown that low-dose glucagon is efficient in treating mild hypoglycemia and that several factors may affect its glucose response. Our next step is to test whether the combined delivery of insulin and glucagon can improve glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes. In this proposal, we want to test the efficacy, safety and feasibility of a dual-hormone closed-loop system, also known as an artificial pancreas. The closed-loop system involves automatic infusion of glucagon and insulin based on continuous glucose measurements. The system will be tested in a 33-hour in-clinic study comparing the glucose control by the combined automatic delivery of insulin and glucagon with the automatic delivery of insulin-only. The study is performed at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen (SDCC) in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). We expect that the study will clarify whether low-dose glucagon added to insulin therapy can improve the glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes. We believe that the utilization of glucagon will allow for a weight neutral optimization of glucose control, reduce risk of hypoglycemia and reduce disease burden that will reduce diabetes complications and cardiovascular diseases.

The purpose of this study is to see if LY900014 compared to insulin lispro (Humalog), both in combination with insulin glargine or insulin degludec, is safe and effective in participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

This is a randomised, double-blind, three-period crossover euglycaemic clamp trial comparing pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BC Combo THDB0207 and Lantus® and Humalog® in subjects with type 1 diabetes. Each subject will be randomly allocated to one of the 6 treatment sequences and will be administered single subcutaneous doses of BC Combo THDB0207, Lantus®, and Humalog® at three separate dosing visits. Subjects will come in a fasted state to the clinical trial centre in the morning of each dosing day and stay at the clinical trial centre until the 24-hour clamp procedures have been terminated. Patients will return to the clinical trial centre for outpatient blood sampling visits for analysis of BC449 excipient until 144 hours after each dosing.

This study is intended to assess a Neural-net Artificial Pancreas (NAP) implementation of an established AP controller - the University of Virginia Model Predictive Control Algorithm (UMPC). The health outcomes achieved on NAP will be compared to the health outcomes achieved on UMPC in a randomized crossover design. The investigators will consent up to 20 participants, ages ≥18.0, with a goal of completing 15 participants.

The purpose of this study is to understand how behavioral health care that is coordinated with diabetes medical care compared with behavioral care that is provided in the community (and therefore not coordinated with diabetes medical care).

The overall goal of this study is to develop and test a novel method involving ultrasound imaging, in order to detect the development of type1 diabetes. In this study the investigators will first establish a standard operating procedure for measuring pancreas blood flow speed and volume in the pancreas of human subjects. The investigators will then determine 1) whether these pancreas blood flow factors differ between healthy subjects and those who have recently developed type1 diabetes; and 2) how variable measurements are in healthy subjects and subjects that recently developed type1 diabetes, both between subjects and over time. To address these aims the investigators will perform pancreas ultrasound measurements in each subject using an approved injectable 'bubble' contrast agent that allows measurement of pancreas blood flow. The investigators will compare ultrasound measurement with characteristics of the subject's type1 diabetes, including genetic factors, glucose levels and other circulating factors, as well as other factors that may influence blood flow in the pancreas independent of type1 diabetes. The successful conclusion of this study will indicate whether measuring pancreas blood flow speed/volume will be helpful in monitoring whether type1 diabetes will emerge and thus will allow a large scale study to answer this question.
