Study summary

This is a feasibility study of an artificial pancreas (AP) system with our previously validated Zone-MPC and Health Monitoring System (HMS) algorithms (ClinicalTraisl.gov: NCT01929798) integrated into the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) system.

Read the detailed description

This is a feasibility study of an artificial pancreas (AP) system with our previously validated Zone-MPC and Health Monitoring System (HMS) algorithms (ClinicalTraisl.gov: NCT01929798) integrated into the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) system. The system will be evaluated on 2-3 subjects per site (n=6-9 subjects) for 2 weeks at 3 different sites (William Sansum Diabetes Center, University of Virginia, and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN). Basal rates will be adjusted in a run-to-run manner by study physicians prior to the closed-loop phase for a maximum of 3 weeks. Subjects will then complete 2 weeks at home use of the Zone-MPC/HMS system using the DIAs platform for a closed-loop feasibility trial. The purpose of this pilot study is to establish that safe day-and-night use of the Zone-MPC/HMS system integrated into the DiAs is achievable in the home environment, to analyze and learn to improve upon the run-to- run optimization process, and to collect efficacy data to inform a future larger study.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Sensor-Augmented Pump Open-Loop Care (Week 1)

    The subjects Sensor-Augmented Pump Open-Loop Care for the first week of the study before any adjustments to pump settings.

    Device: CGM and Insulin Pump

  • Experimental
    Closed-Loop Control System with Zone MPC and HMS

    The artificial pancreas system will be allowed to employ its Model Predictive Control algorithm to make decisions about insulin delivery based on measured glucose levels. The Health Monitoring System algorithm uses the same CGM data as the MPC control algorithm but utilizes a separate algorithm for trending and predictions of future glucose values. Using a redundant and independent algorithm is an important safety feature of the overall AP device.

    Device: Closed-Loop Control System

Interventions

  • DeviceCGM and Insulin Pump

    Dexcom G4 Platinum CGM with Share AP Receiver Roche Accu-Chek insulin pump

  • DeviceClosed-Loop Control System

    The devices that will be used in the Closed-Loop Control System include the following components: DiAs - a smart-phone medical platform; Dexcom Dexcom G4 Platinum connected to DiAs via Bluetooth CGM receiver; Roche Accu-Chek insulin pump connected to DiAs via wireless Bluetooth; Remote Monitoring Server connected to DiAs via 3G or local Wi-Fi network, and Zone-MPC and HMS algorithms running on DiAs (MPC and HMS)
