About
The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and utility of fully closed-loop glucose control in the home setting in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study builds on previous and on-going studies of closed-loop systems that have been performed in Cambridge in adults with type 2 diabetes in the inpatient and in the home setting and in children and adults with type 1 diabetes.
This is an open-label, multi-national, multi-centre, randomised, single-period parallel study, involving a run-in period followed by a 26-week intervention period during which glucose levels will be controlled either by a fully closed-loop system or by participants usual insulin therapy with continuous glucose monitoring. A total of up to 224 adults with type 2 diabetes using insulin will be recruited through outpatient diabetes clinics, primary care centres, social media advertising and other established methods at participating centres. Participants will receive appropriate training in the safe use of the study devices.
The primary outcome is the between group difference in HbA1c at 26 weeks. Other key outcomes include the time spent with glucose levels within, above and below the target glucose range (3.9-10.0mmol/L) and mean sensor glucose as recorded by CGM over the 26 weeks. Insulin requirements, body weight, renal and liver function will also be compared. Safety evaluation comprises severe hypoglycaemic episodes, and other adverse and serious adverse events. Human factors outcomes include CGM & closed-loop usage, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.
Full description
Purpose of clinical trial:
To determine the efficacy, safety and utility of fully closed-loop insulin delivery over 26 weeks in the home setting in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Study objectives:
To determine the efficacy, safety and utility of fully closed-loop insulin delivery over 26 weeks in the home setting in adults with type 2 diabetes.
EFFICACY: The objective is to assess the ability of fully closed-loop insulin delivery to improve glucose control as measured by HbA1c (primary endpoint) and sensor glucose metrics.
SAFETY: The objective is to evaluate the safety of fully closed-loop insulin delivery in terms of episodes and severity of hypoglycaemia, and nature and severity of other adverse events.
UTILITY: The objective is to determine the acceptability and duration of use of the CGM and closed-loop system.
HUMAN FACTORS: The objective is to assess cognitive, emotional, and behavioural characteristics of participants and their response to the closed-loop system using validated questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.

Sample Size:
224 participants (112 per group) will be randomised. Recruitment will target a minimum quota of 25% of participants using basal insulin and a minimum quota of 60% of participants using multiple daily insulin injections.
Maximum duration of study for a subject: 30 weeks
Recruitment:
Participants will be recruited through outpatient diabetes clinics, primary care centres, social media advertising or other established methods at participating centres
Consent:
Participants will be asked to provide written informed consent.
Baseline Assessment:
Eligible participants will undergo baseline evaluation involving talking a medical history including demographics, height/weight, waist hip ratio and blood pressure measurement and blood samples for HbA1c, fasted lipid profile, renal and liver function. A urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) will be performed, along with a urine pregnancy test in females of child-bearing age. Human factors questionnaires will be completed and a masked glucose sensor will be applied.
Run-in Period:
During a 2-3 week run-in period, participants will use their usual insulin therapy and wear a masked CGM system. At the end of the run-in period, for compliance, at least 10 days of CGM data needs to be recorded. CGM data during the run-in period will be used to assess baseline glucose control before the start of the intervention phase.
Randomisation:
Eligible participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio using central randomisation software to fully closed-loop or standard insulin therapy with CGM for 26 weeks. Randomisation will be stratified by site and baseline HbA1c.
Fully closed loop insulin delivery (intervention arm):
Following randomisation, participants in the closed-loop group will receive training on the study CGM, study insulin pump and closed-loop App during a 1-2 hour outpatient session. Competency on the use of the closed-loop system will be evaluated. Further training may be delivered as required. Participants will be advised to use the closed-loop system for the next 26 weeks.
Standard insulin therapy with CGM (control arm):
Following randomisation, participants in the control group will use their usual insulin therapy and the study CGM. Training on the use of the CGM will be provided. Participants will use standard insulin therapy and CGM for the next 26 weeks.
3 month study visit: Weight, waist hip ratio and blood pressure will be measured and a blood sample will be taken for measurement of HbA1c, fasted lipid profile, renal and liver function. Data from the closed-loop system and CGM system will be reviewed. Human factors questionnaires will be completed.
End of study assessments:
Weight, waist hip ratio and blood pressure will be measured and a blood sample will be taken for measurement of HbA1c, fasted lipid profile, renal and liver function. Urinary ACR will be measured. Human factors questionnaires will be completed and a subset of participants will participate in interviews. Study devices will be returned and participants will resume their usual insulin therapy and standard glucose monitoring.
Procedures for safety monitoring during trial:
Standard operating procedures for monitoring and reporting of all adverse events and adverse device events will be in place, including serious adverse events (SAE), serious adverse device effects (SADE) and specific adverse events (AE) such as severe hypoglycaemia.
A data safety and monitoring board (DSMB) will be informed of all serious adverse events and any unanticipated serious adverse device effects that occur during the study and will review compiled adverse event data at periodic intervals.
Criteria for withdrawal of subjects on safety grounds:
A participant may terminate participation in the study at any time without necessarily giving a reason and without any personal disadvantage. An investigator can stop the participation of a subject after consideration of the benefit/risk ratio. Possible reasons are:
