Study summary

Suboptimal glycemic control during pregnancy contributes to adverse maternal and fetal health outcomes and previous automated insulin delivery (AID) studies have demonstrated improvement in glucose control across all ages and sexes irrespective of past treatment modality or diabetes duration with no increase in hypoglycemia. However, very few studies evaluating AID system use in pregnancy have been performed in the US and no AID systems are currently approved for use during pregnancy. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of THE TWIIST™ system that enables the selection of pregnancy-specific glucose targets. This phase 3 pivotal trial will assess the system's performance in pregnant people with pre-existing type 1 diabetes in the US, starting as early as pregnancy confirmation, continuing throughout the pregnancy including delivery and up to 6 weeks post-partum.

  • Participant has any condition (physical or psychological disease) that in the opinion of the site investigator would interfere with the normal conduct and interpretation of the study results or put participant at risk during the study.
  • Currently participating in another pharmaceutical or device related interventional trial at the time of enrollment or any time during the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Interventions

  • DeviceAutomated Insulin Delivery (AID)

    The AID control algorithm, that will be used during the study employs a model-based predictive control algorithm to forecast future glucose levels. This predictive model accounts for the impact of delivered insulin, user-entered carbohydrates, and incorporates two short-term adaptations: "glucose momentum" and "retrospective correction." These features work to optimize glucose management with precision. The impact of carbohydrates is calculated based on the user-defined insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio and insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), while the insulin effect is governed by the ISF itself. The system then dynamically adjusts insulin delivery, aiming to bring glucose levels in line with the midpoint of the user's personalized glucose target range. Loop fine-tunes insulin delivery by increasing or decreasing the basal insulin rate, as needed, each time a new CGM value is received.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for May 2027, 8 months later.

Of 845 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 38. This study's planned 8 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 950 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 35.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 8, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
