Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

The purpose of this study is to test how well a new investigational closed loop system manages your blood sugar with the ability to deliver insulin and pramlintide. Pramlintide is a drug that is used with mealtime insulin to control blood sugar in people who have diabetes. It works by slowing down the movement of food through the stomach which prevents blood sugar from rising too high after a meal. The closed loop system will receive glucose values from the Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automatically send commands to one Omnipod for insulin and one Omnipod for pramlintide delivery.

Full detailed description

Participants will undergo two 12.5 hour clinic visits. Participants will complete a training on how to start the Dexcom G6 sensor at home. Participants will start the G6 sensor the day before each study visit. For one visit, the system will use insulin only for managing blood sugar. For the other study, the system will use both insulin and pramlintide. The order of the visits will be randomly chosen. For 3 days before the insulin and pramlintide visit, participants will dose with pramlintide before each meal. During the visits, participants will wear one or two Omnipods to delivery insulin and insulin/pramlintide and a Dexcom G6 CGM. The CGM system will provide sensor glucose data every 5 minutes. Sensor glucose data will be wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) from the Dexcom G6 to the smartphone master controller every 5 minutes. The smartphone will communicate via BTLE to an Omnipod for insulin delivery. The closed loop system will receive activity data through a Polar M600 watch worn by the participant. Participants will eat breakfast and lunch in clinic.

Interventions

Treatment arms and agents.

DEVICE

MPC closed-loop system in insulin only mode

The Model Predictive Control (MPC) insulin infusion algorithm contains a model within the controller that takes as an input the aerobic metabolic expenditure in addition to the CGM and meal in puts. The algorithm uses heart rate and accelerometer data collected on the patient's body to calculate metabolic expenditure (METs). The METs then acts on the model for the insulin dynamics, whereby more energy expenditure and longer duration exercise can lead to a more substantial effect of insulin on the CGM. The MPC also has missed meal insulin bolus detection where the system will calculate the amount of insulin that was missed for a meal. The missed meal boluses can be delivered automatically without any input from the user. This feature can also be disabled. The device in this mode will administer insulin continuously for managing blood sugar.

The system will deliver pramlintide in a fixed ratio to insulin at 6 mcg of pramlintide delivered for every 1 unit of insulin.

Outcomes

What the study measures.

Primary outcomes

Incremental Area Under the Curve of Postprandial Glucose Following the First Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following first meal

Incremental area under the curve (iAUC) of postprandial glucose (mg/dL\*min) calculated using a trapezoidal method, which sums all continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) values above the starting glucose for the obseration period. Values shown are (mg/dL\*min)/1000.

Percent of Time With Sensed Glucose Between 70 - 180 mg/dl Following First Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following first meal

Blood glucose values are recorded every 5 minutes using the Dexcom G6 sensor. Percent of time in range can take values between 0 and 100 and uses the six hours following the meal as the denominator.

Secondary outcomes

Incremental Area Under the Curve of Postprandial Glucose Following the Second Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following second meal

Incremental area under the curve (iAUC) of postprandial glucose (mg/dL\*min) calculated using a trapezoidal method, which sums all continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) values above the starting glucose for the obseration period. Values shown are iAUC/1000.

Percent of Time With Sensed Glucose Between 70 - 180 mg/dl Following Second Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following second meal

Blood glucose values are recorded every 5 minutes using the Dexcom G6 sensor. Percent of time in range can take values between 0 and 100 and uses the six hours following the meal as the denominator.

Net Area Under the Curve of Postprandial Glucose Following the First Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following first meal

Net area under the curve (netAUC) of postprandial glucose (mg/dL\*min) calculated using a trapezoidal method, which sums all continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) values above the starting glucose and subtracts CGM values below the starting glucose for the observation period. Values shown are (mg/dL\*min)/1000.

Net Area Under the Curve of Postprandial Glucose

Time frame · 12 hour clinic visit

Net area under the curve (netAUC) of postprandial glucose (mg/dL\*min) calculated using a trapezoidal method, which sums all continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) values above the starting glucose and subtracts CGM values below the starting glucose for the observation period. Values shown are (mg/dL\*min)/1000.

Percent of Time With Sensed Glucose <70 mg/dL Following First Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following first meal

Assess the percent of time that the Dexcom G6 reported sensor glucose values less than 70 mg/dl using Dexcom sensor in the 6 hours following the start of the first meal. Because so few participants had any sensed glucose values \<70 mg/dL, this summary shows the count of participants with any time (\>0) with sensed glucose \<70 mg/dL

Percent of Time With Sensed Glucose <70 mg/dL Following Second Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following second meal

Because so few participants had any sensed glucose values \<70 mg/dL, this summary shows the count of participants with any time (\>0) with sensed glucose \<70 mg/dL

Percent of Time With Sensed Glucose <70 mg/dL

Time frame · 12 hour clinic visit

Because so few participants had any sensed glucose values \<70 mg/dL, this summary shows the count of participants with any time (\>0) with sensed glucose \<70 mg/dL

Percent of Time With Sensed Glucose Between 70-140 mg/dL Following First Meal

Time frame · 6 hours following first meal

Blood glucose values are recorded every 5 minutes using the Dexcom G6 sensor. Percent of time in range can take values between 0 and 100 and uses the six hours following the meal as the denominator.

Percent of Time With Sensed Glucose Between 70-140 mg/dL Following Second Meal
