Study summary

Single-centre, open label (unblinded). A maximum of 48 patients will be enrolled in 4 Cohorts of 10 patients and 2 potential replacements each. Diabetic patients (type 1 and 2). Duration up to 11 weeks: up to 6 weeks of screening phase (42 days); 4 weeks of treatment/measurement phase (28 days, depending on sensor functionality) and 1 week of follow up (7 days)

Read the detailed description

This study is an investigational study, which will be conducted only at one site in Germany. The investigators, the patient and the sponsor will be unblinded.

The eligibility of the patient is determined in up to two steps, a screening (see inclusion criteria) and in case of women of childbearing potential a urine pregnancy test at the day of sensor insertion (independent of any re-screening). Women of childbearing potential are only enrolled after a negative outcome of the urine pregnancy test. The screening results are valid up to 42 days. Within that time the first measurement visit including the insertion of the device should be performed. If the first measurement visit is delayed a re-screening has to be performed. Should the patient not pass the re-screening, the patient is considered as a screening failure and must be excluded.

The trial is structured into three phases, the screening/enrolment phase, the insertion/measurement phase and the follow-up phase.

Screening/Enrolment Phase: Up to 6 weeks (42 days), 1 visit

Insertion/Measurement phase: Up to 4 weeks (28 days), up to 6 in-house measurement visits

Follow-up Phase: 1 week (7 days), 1 visit

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Cohort A

    Subjects will wear 2 FiberSense systems (arm and abdomen) inserted on day 00 and a comparator continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system on abdomen, changed on weekly basis. They will participate in six clinic in-house sessions on days 00, 03, 07, 14, 21 and 28. There will be no home use days, solely several hours of extended use blood glucose readings after selected in-clinic sessions.

    Device: FiberSense System

  • Experimental
    Cohort B

    Subjects will wear 2 FiberSense systems (arm and abdomen) inserted on day 00 and a comparator CGM system on abdomen, changed on weekly basis. They will participate in six clinic in-house sessions on days 00, 03, 07, 14, 21 and 28. Home use measurement days will be scheduled to wear FiberSense systems for 8-12 hours on days directly before and after a measurement visit day - day 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22, and 27.

    Device: FiberSense System

  • Experimental
    Cohort C

    Subjects will wear 2 FiberSense systems (arm and abdomen) inserted on day 00 and a comparator CGM system on abdomen, changed on weekly basis. They will participate in six clinic in-house sessions on days 00, 03, 07, 14, 21 and 28. Home use measurement days will be scheduled to handle and wear FiberSense systems independently on daily basis (min. 8 hours) between measurement visit days - day 4-6, 8-13, 15-20, and 22-27. In addition, interim visits are scheduled at Day 10, 17, and 24 for sensor site and adverse event assessment.

They will participate in six clinic in-house sessions on days 00, 03, 07, 14, 21 and 28.
